A very special Thanks to you as well as the others who mentioned me in here, I singled you out for a funny, very humorous comment, here goes.
I am a NARD not a NERD, as in Brainard, rhymes with Maynard which or course sounds like a NERD, that's what they stuck me with.
One thing people get with my cues is an awesome shaft. I have standards with a minimum of 15 grains per inch with the grain running straight from end to end. Ever compare the hit of a shaft with 8 grains per inch compared to 15?.
Guess what? I am doing my best to go to 20 grains per inch and increase my prices to cover it.
Many years ago I was taught a lot about grading wood, I was taught by a Sawyer and a Certified Grader. If some people knew these standards, it would radically change the way you view many cues.
Would anyone like to know these standards? Could make a great thread and we would all learn something, after all, in an ever changing world, the know it all is quickly left behind.
Thanks again, Dave.
