DymondWood Shaft production

[JoeyA]

Is it just as important to let a piece of DymondWood age as you cut it down as it is for traditional maple shafts?

Some cuemakers trim a maple shaft once a month or once a year.

For Dymondwood, do you need to do the same thing or are the properties of DW such that this spacing of time between cuts necessary?

Thanks,

I dont believe you need to wait between turning. It is resin impregnated so it's not like it is going to warp or something.

You can turn it a lot faster, but I would not turn it all in one day.

Yes it is resin impregnated and most likely it will not warp.

I wonder how fast the cuemakers that currently work with Dymondwood take to turn down a standard DW dowel?

I usually turn mine down over a period of a month, both shaft and butt. Never seen any movement. My original dymondwood breaker I turned down in just a few days and it shows no sign of warping from early last year.

Joey, it only stays that way about 30 minutes once every few weeks. Lol
