Cue Construction

[Zud]

I was reading the disaster thread of Joe (BamaCues) where the USPS destroyed a beautiful Barnhart cue.

The pin that is bent 90 degrees between the handle and forearm. please excuse my ignorance but is that the way most unspliced pieces are mated?

I have really learned a lot seeing the sleeves, handles and forearms in pieces and unfinished states here on AZ. I just never gave much thought on how everything was assembled.

The best $$$$ you could ever spend to learn more about cues. You can read it and sell on ebay and get most of your money back.

yes most cues are built that way.not all but most.

That looks like a spliced cue to me with a brass radial stud.
Some use aluminum, ss, G-10, fiberglass and few like threaded wood tenons.
A very few use one-piece core top to bottom.
