Can you relate? (Figured I'd better "Ask the Cuemaker") to keep it on topic. 
I originally posted it in the Cue Gallery, but I know a lot of cuemakers don't check out that area often.
This short video shows the first attempt of Burton Spain to make a cue blank. Burton went on to make the best full splice blanks, and was a supplier to George Balabushka. Spain later was the teacher of Joel Hercek, one of today's top cuemakers.
This clip is narrated by Hercek, and provided by Deno Andrews.

Makes me feel better about some of my "learning experiences." Everybody has a learning curve.
