Decided to challenge myself today by designing a 6 point, alternating high/low, cue with taper and ring designs, take a look:

The pictures are poor quality because of the compression, it looks better on the program instead.

The program is limited in wood grain patterns, so the black is suppose to be ebony (or stained BEM if you can see that), and the brown I was thinking would be cocobola. There are three veneers, white black white, in that order. I did not include a joint or a pin. All measurements are based on estimations. If all measurements were taken into account, the butt of this cue would be about 30 inches. I was thinking about including an OB-1 shaft with this cue, which I made in 3D sometime last year.

If anyone is interested and would like the solidwork cad files for this cue, I have them online somewhere, just send me a PM.
 
None taken, never said it was good program to begin with.

Its the only 3-D CAD program I know, because my engineering school required every engineering student to learn that specific program, I had no choice. If it were up to me, AutoCad wouldve been better to learn.

and exported to 3ds :) to finish it up.

ive made some 3d renderings of cue's too. really helpfull to REALLY search and adjust till you find the perfect looks of your future custom cue.

I find it really interesting that you don't like Solidworks...I have had a seat since 1998 and really like the program...I find it accurate and easy to use.

I have not updated my license since 2003 and am curious what is the latest rage in modeling software and why?

I model joinery for several applications with it and use the geometry for custom CNC work...works fine for me.

Nice job on the cue also.
