Thank you Gentlemen. I try to go forward everyday. The white is Elforyn. It has grain and what I prefer on my white joints and butt caps. It's even great for inlays. Glues well does not retain dust and holds finish well. I Always wondered if I could do a cored forearm with it and with the customers approval to do something different as a test for the material and myself. I came up with this. As in all of my new cues, it has a 3/4 Maple core. My core tolerance is .003 and it's epoxied not gorilla glued. The weight of it cored is simular to Ebony. I cut my points old school on a lathe. I use two different ratios for my six point cues to get the full look I want without the high overlapping of the two. I like them to meet near the rings above the wrap. I posted this because I was asked to. When you try to help in the Cue maker section as I try to. Sometimes it helps with a visual versus just words.
