Except your sense totally failed this time.
JC was being sarcastic (at least I hope) about the triple A thing and the trunk of a car. That was a reference to something negative the shaft seller said about someone.

Was he or wasn't he (being sarcastic) ? Only the shadow knows. Lol
Updated : 9.14.16
Other than asking : "Will the spot bother your friend? " and suggesting that I've "totally failed",
you've contributed pretty much nothing else to this thread Kelly. Prey tell, what is your goal here ?
Does my sharing of useful information offend you in some manner ?
JC said (privately) he was indeed being sarcastic, however, that's irrelevent.
He thought it was a sugar-mark; it's not. I suggested mineral deposit and Eric did also.
Where's the 'fail' ? When people reading this thread have learned something, that's hardly a fail.
Sorry Kelly but you'll have to come with something a little stronger next time.
Saying I've failed when sharing good info and you've shared nothing is kind of weak.

Too late, I already put that tip on that shaft.

It's a mineral spot, and it doesn't hurt anything except aesthetics. I bet that shaft is heavy, too. Wood with mineral tends to be a lil heavier. As for what to do, it's totally up to your buyer & yourself. I completely understand that you don't want it coming back to haunt you later. I'd be on the fence, too. I never led anybody to ever believe that I used only pretty, white, clean shafts. I always told folks to expect wood chosen first & foremost for playability, then I'd sort them for beauty. To my pleasant surprise, most folks are completely on board with less than beautiful shafts so long as the cue plays nice. It's wise to let them be the ones to decide, though.

Here's what's going to happen; the shaft will play great. The player will show people at the pool hall and say 'its a great shaft! The only problem is this blem but it doesn't bother me...' Which part of that will his audience hear?
I would build a new shaft and save this one, if possible, for someone who wants a longer ferrule.

I agree. As a seller of new cues it is essential that the front 1/2 to 2/3 of the shaft be reasonably clear at the very least.
An example of the real customer world, furthermore, it buys you tons of negative publicity needlessly because somebody will come along wanting a shaft with a longer ferrule. I'll try a little kindness Ryan and see where it gets me.

If you sell a blem at a discount, the first thing that will happen is that information will be circulated. Now there will be a host of players trying to find fault with your work (where there probably is none) in the hopes of you discounting your product. Selling like that just puts a negative label on your product.

I had the same thing happen to me on the final pass with a shaft that had a lot of work in the ring and I didn't feel like making a new one. In my case the spot was a few inches from the joint end of the shaft. I found a similar looking piece of maple and inlaid the smallest foot ball shaped inlay that would cover the spot, I had a hard time finding the inlay and I knew where to look. Just a thought.
