Hello guys.
I have a question for those who build full splice cues.
What tools do you use to make a counterpart if full splice blank (on the photo). I saw a way of making on a band saw, but maybe there are other options, for example by means of milling or something like this.
I will be glad of any help or advice.
Thanks!

Are you asking about making a separate piece that mates with the piece shown?
Or are you asking if there are methods other than the bandsaw to make the piece shown?

One of my best friends is from Ukraine.
His family still has a farm there.

I'm wondering how prong is made, the lower part. But I have already received an answer from a specialist, so I already have an idea.

Great!
I'm a bandsaw kind of guy, but have thought of a few ways to do 5 point with circular cutters. Have not tried that yet. Bandsaw works well for even# of points. Sometimes for some wood you have to support the points as they are cut. Most of the time is is pretty straight forward.

Always happy to learn other methods.

Wow, looks great!
This is the way they showed me, I'm wondering what it looks like 5 points cues. I'm also happy to learn some new methods. I build my blanks with a band saw. Here are some examples of my work.

Wow! Imo this is a very painstaking work! I really like it! :thumbup:

I recently saw a dude who made a guitar out of 1200 colored pencils. I really respect people who can work with their hands. :p
