Bludworth joint

[KJ Cues]

Looking for the nominal diameter of a Bludworth joint. Did a search...nothing. I only get like one of these a year and I've never written it down. Help would be appreciated. Thanx, KJ

I have seen them from .835 to .850

 

[Cuedog]

I have one here that is .840.

Not sure if it was Blud's taper, but I bought one of his saw machines and there was a finished butt taper program that started at .840 and went to 1.240

 

[KJ Cues]

Thanx guys. I'll go with .842" and call it a happy medium (given the spread).

I would contact Chris Byrne, not only does he own a Bludworth cue, but he worked with Dan Breggan-Colorado Cues, who was trained and set up by Leonard. My Colorado Cues measure around .850

I know this is not much help, but it would be interesting to know if they are close to the same.

When I was with Blud the joints were .840 Chris.

Mr. Bludworth,
Thank You Sir, for taking the time to respond to my request. This time I'm writing it down. Your input is appreciated. Thanx Much, KJ

Hey Blud, Hows the restaurant buisness?
