I just have too much time waste. Here's a 6 point full splice blank that I've been
working on. This is my first post so if I'm not following protocol please advise. I
hope the attachment photo appears.

Saw this at the BCA tourney at Lincoln city. This cue is super cool. Ernie had a couple other cues there too. Really great stuff from this guy.
 
I will try to add photos. This is my first attempt at the 6 pt blank. This was done last
summer, I have one order for a ebony, birdseye blank that I will get to when I refine my
tooling fixtures. I going to lenghten the pts. But I'm busy refining my 4 pt full splice
blanks first. I've included a couple of my blanks that I'm turning down to finished
diameter.
The 6 pt isn't anything special to play with, it feels the same as my other full splice,
but I think with the extra points and glueing surface it makes it more stable.

Very very cool. I like it!!
 
thanks for the response

I want to thank Jim Baxter for pushing me into posting on this forum. There is a lot of
great stuff on these forums. I enjoyed reading the thread on full splice cues and some
of the techniques used in the machine section. I did spend plenty of time crusing thru
all the cue photos, wow. There is a lot of nice stuff out there.

And I want to thanks all those that responded to this posting, you know what it is like
to get positive feedback.

thanks again,
Ernie,

ps. I wanted to start a thread on the balance point property. Which forum would this
posting go under?

Beautiful work!

Glad you posted. Thank you! :thumbup:


As for the balance point discussion, you will find it has been discussed already, but nothing wrong with starting a new discussion. Where to post? If you want a more technical discussion on construction then I would post in the cue makers forum. If you want a more generally qualitative discussion with players then I would suggest the main forum.

You will find some people willing to argue about such things as balance point, but I think it's an interesting topic and am confident that people would contribute some valuable insights and discuss the matter in a productive way.

Very cool, i believe your the first to build a 6 pt blank in this fashion...now get to work on putting some veneer in the 6 pointer
 
Precision work. Respect. :thumbup: If you add a veneer on 6 pt blank it will be a bomb.:clapping:
 
I'm going to want one of those 6 pointers with veneers...

Great Stuff here !!!
