Another full splice G-code

[BarenbruggeCues]

My words were harsh and I erased those words from my post after I reading it. I did go on defence. I don't have a lot of extra time and my answers are short and to the point. Please don't take them the wrong way. I don't want people to get scared and not try. Don't overthink it, try it.
I can't wait to here the feedback after some experiment with the ideas. The more people playing with it the better it will get. My technique has changed everytime. Trial and error.

No Probs.......I must have read it right after you wrote it....just hit me funny.
No offense taken.......it's all about the discussion and execution.......

Congrats Chris on your new jig. It would be kewl to see Hightower full splice blanks on the market. Are you planning on selling finished cues or selling the blanks?

I think I will mainly just build cues with the ones I make in shop.

I meant no harm either , I was just honestly curious if I was picturing it correctly or missing something. I don't build cues but I do build cue parts , jigs and such for a few reputable builders. I also supply alot of code. I'm always looking for different methods to do things. I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Chris got some eye candy for us to see?

And Scott thank you for the code

I am not much on taking pictures as I have to load them on my site then post them here, but I glued another one up today. It is Wenge into a Birdseye forearm. Thinking about gluing a Brazilian Ironwood into Birdseye tomorrow.
I will be doing the butterfly splice similar to what Spain did, with ebony front that will then be cut out into prongs to give Ebony prongs, maple handle, biirdseye forearm and Ebony sleeve butterflied or sleeved into the back. This will get rid of the excess weight using Ebony handle will give. I am actually having fun building cues again. These will probably get old before long, but I might have many months worth glued up if I keep doing a few a week.

I got the Ironwood and the Cocobolo full spliced cues glued up today. I may try cutting the handle prongs with CNC, but my modified old school bandsaw method is faster and does a good job.

Chris this is in no way fair. You cant keep talking about all of this and not post some pics. You sound really exited about the fullsplices and I think you should be showing them off

Eventually they will be completed cues that are on my site
