Cue Butt Xray

You'll learn something. You may not realize exactly what, or at least not immediately, but you will learn something. I am always referencing my knowledge data bank (memory) & digging up things from past experiences to apply it in today's work. It's sometimes a eureka moment where I realize that I learned this lesson years ago, but didn't realize it until now because I didn't need the info until now. Had I been smarter, I would have kept a journal along the way with detailed notes. If I had, I would now have a chronological record of my progress, plus a reference to lots of knowledge & ideas that I have forgotten. Just today I began taking photos of my "A" joint in progress. Next time I core, I will do the same thing, and so on. I'd like to have a step by step reference of how I do things & why, so that when I have those moments where things just aren't working, I can go back to a time when things were, and see what I'm goofing on.

There's no way for me to go back to the beginning again, but it's something. You are just starting, and seem to have an inquisitive mind, so I suggest keeping a journal to record your experiences. Imagine the knowledge that accumulates over the years.

It's a great idea to keep a journal.
I think I made my 1st saleable snooker cue 15 or so years ago....but these are different.
I have only been 'dabbling' making American pool cues for the last few years & have still never done an inlay!
I will take your advice start to keep records of the American stuff.
Thanks
 
I am really wondering if x rayed can you really tell if it is a cored cue.....

X Rays would tell the difference between densities but let's say the 2 woods are similar in densities would they just show up dark and just the pin or collars would show up lighter
