Ashes built into cue ?

If you have seen cremated remains they do include chunks of bone as well as ash. I brought my brother home and when he went through the airline scanner a young attendant questioned what was in the box, another a bit older stepped in quickly. My brother probably laughed, he would of thought it was hilarious!
Yes, you can. I fail to see what you’re asking? Do you want the wood stabilized in ash? What is your goal?

Escott Cues
Sadly I have been battling with this idea the past couple of weeks. My sister had some of my father’s ashes put into a marble which was nice.
For me the cue I was building for a special person in my life was almost done when she passed away. I could wait and add it to the cue or finish it to honor her now. I was thinking about cutting groove under the wrap and filling it with ashes and epoxy. Or maybe put some epoxy under the bumper somehow.
I decided to just finish the cue as it was intended for her so it would be done. If I get any ashes I will either add them under the bumper into some kind of void or I maybe just create something stand alone to go with the cue on display. I’ll never sell the cue so I have time to figure it out.
If you are building it and want the ashes visible you could swirl it into epoxy to make a ring or rings or inlays if you can do those.

Dennis Diekman did it with Hemp so
Why not
Why not
You could consider using epoxy. I just started messing with this and seems it could work. You could even add some color if you wanted.
I started the following thread but won't have time for a few more weeks to get back to it.
Anyone use epoxy for rings?
Anyone ever make rings out of epoxy? I have two bar cues I'm converting to 2 piece cues and I have very specific colors I'm after. I've looked at all types of material and the only way I can get close is to spend well over $100 on two pieces of material for two cues, I'd rather not do that...

Just a thought.
I'm pretty sure I posted in your thread.
If you can define what you want to accomplish, I'm pretty sure you can do it.
R&D
Research and Develope for the boys who don't know. Lol
I believe you did also, thanks. Regarding R&D, I have the next few steps outlined in my head, I just need to get there, and that won't happen for a few more weeks (my Jeep (only vehicle) is tore down in the garage getting a rebuild, I just bought a small sailboat, I'm playing in two tournaments this weekend, and I should be starting a new job next week - plate's pretty full so I have to prioritize
)

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Could you elaborate some? I've tried google and it fails me. I'm curious.
I remember Mr. D putting pictures up of it, years ago.Could you elaborate some? I've tried google and it fails me. I'm curious.
All the detail work was pot.
Pretty funny but pretty cool.
Dennis was good people.
God bless him!
I found this but didn't see a picture of the Cue.
