    Any idea what finish Dickie Neighbors used

    Per his words in this forum maybe years ago, he used auto finish.

    Why not Pinegar?

    Interesting you mentioned White Diamonds and buffalo but not the Scotty Townsend Memorial, which Henny won this year.

    Points / Veneers: Customer being to picky?

    The options to correct uneven points are: 1. Build another cue. 2. Sand/scrape the point tips of the longest points to artificially shorten them to be more even with the others. By doing this you create an uneven surface/dip in the cue that can mostly be addressed during finishing. Is the...

    Carved Ivory Tusk

    No Schreger lines visible looks wrong, color looks wrong, surface quality looks wrong.

    Rudy T. said it best. Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion. It's great to see the double thumbs up.

    Antique Brunswick Jefferson/Charles Passow...Cushion questions

    Greetings all. I have a 9 foot antique table circa 1910. Link to web page with a few pics here. Clicking on the pics in the web page loads a much larger image. It looks identical to a Brunswick Jefferson to me, except for the inlay pattern is different. Quartersawn white oak with Brazilian...

    Brown Bumper Blow out Sale

    I am a little low as well. Maybe if someone gets his attention and he sells them some they can pass it along. Last time I tried to buy more there was no reply.

    Project Tomahawk ferrule material.

    Taps work. Per recommendations on my website, use an intermediate drill bit prior to using the tap drill.

    Juma fans only

    I have had only one request for a different tomahawk color. I don’t recall the specific color, but I don’t think it was an earth color. Other colors are a possibility but I don’t know the pricing, sizing, or quantity I would have to order. A big risk to invest and sit on inventory. And I’m not...

    Isoplast 202

    I have never heard of anyone using a poly glue for ferrules. Cracking in the middle certainly supports the theory that glue expansion caused it. Were they capped without a glue relief hole? Or was it screwed on and the tip installed right away before it could expand out of a capped glue...

    Isoplast 202

    I thread all of my ferrules with live tooling (except repairs when I am matching a current configuration). With good threads, nearly any glue is suitable IMO. I have used various slow setting epoxies (west system, total boat, Raka, etc) for installing ferrules, all with success, so I won't...

    Isoplast 202

    I have never had anyone contact me regarding split or cracked Tomahawk ferrules (except one person who confused a deep scratch from a tip pik with a crack). I have never had any myself and I install a lot on my own shafts I build, all uncapped. Prior to coming to market, Tomahawk was tested...

    Calling Shane/Cuephoric

    Shane contacted me. The situation will resolve and it will just be water under the bridge.

    Modification question

    Someone who has built cues for more than 2 decades and still at it probably does a lot of things correctly. Maybe you have a friend who can turn 36" cues between centers and that is how he tapers extensions. That's a fine thing to do and has some efficiency, but telling every cuemaker who...
