Lots of folks have asked about scallops & how they are made. I try to explain it but not sure if it really ever makes sense. So here's a few pics to show how they're assembled. This is a friend's cue I took pics of to show him how I built it. Figured i'd show it here for fun and to give a visual of the things I have explained to many folks.
First I have to cut the bevels and then glue on the stock:
Then turned round results in:
Offset 22.5 degrees & repeat:
Resulting in:
Now recut over all of those & repeat process:
Resulting in a butt sleeve with scallops:
Each 4 cut & glues require 24hr. curing period before moving to next step. So this butt sleeve required 4 days of cutting & gluing. Seemingly simple & insignificant things sometimes aren't as simple as they seem.
The rest of the cue, with a forearm matching but v-groove points instead of scallops:
