heres some basic pics of cue #4 in my humble career as a cuemaker. haha, what a joke.
i wanted to take advantage of the tonal qualities w/ some of the wood that i have. and being new to cuemaking, i wanted to get to really understand the properties of wood, namely east indian rosewood, so i tried to use EIR throughout the core to see how it would sound and play.
anyhow, it's a radial pin, SS sleeve, curly maple forearm cored w/ EIR.
EIR handle, uncored; curly buttsleeve over the EIR tenon from handle. ring is as plain as it gets w/ some ebony.
4 is not a good number in korean culture and maybe that's why i had so many issues in making this cue.
for example, the pin, for some reason got all funky on me so i had to take it out and unfortunately plugged it w purpleheart and put pin in again, thereby kinda compromising my experiment. oh well. haha but turned out ok.
didnt weigh it but i figure its hi 18 to low 19.
pics are from my phone. i played around w/ the background because i couldn't really capture what the EIR looks like.
it's for my brother in law. was his birthday yesterday. ill let you guys know how it plays.
anyhow, enjoy.
