A recently delivered cue. I don't think there are many full splice Thuya burl cues around. This one was a pleasure to build. All white except the Tomahawk ferrules is deer antler.

Kelly,
Just wondering if you cored the Thuya. If so, before or after the splice?

Great looking cue. Thuya is a beautiful wood.

Howdy Harold. Thanks. I cored it after the splice. It was stable in the square. There were no unusual concerns during the cutting.

Thanks.

Here is the bumper.

It is the standard recessed 1" bumper that is held by a cap screw into a bolt. I grind mine to a smaller diameter, but otherwise it is the same.

Great work with such a big piece of burl. Man it must be heartbreaking if a piece like that falls apart after the splice.

An excellent outcome using some beautiful wood.

I enjoy watching your progress on full splice cues.

I also appreciate your cue cut program.
