The Joint Tenon was turned down.
First off, this was an extremely fun project to take on. I did have an awesome resource in my good friend (he is extremely patient). This project took the better part of (4) weeks to complete, working (1) day a week on it. Enjoy the pictures and feel free to give me any constructive criticisms you may have. I think it looks absolutely phenomenal for a first build.
Cheers,
Tony

That is one beautiful cue especially if its you first. If I were to criticize anything , and I hat to say criticize but I would burr/polish the ring on the shaft and maybe the threaded hole. No matter what that is a beautiful cue and you should be proud to have made it , I know I would be.
