this is the third full splice cue Darrin ever made.it is Bubinga into Birsdeye Maple with 2 veneers white and green.it has solid Cocobolo ringwork with black phenolic collars and butt cap.the pin is Darrin's own modified 3/8-10 and fits tight.the points are sharp and and almost dead even.they are dead even at the base.the cue has 2 12.75mm shafts that both have yellow micarta ferrules.the cue naturally plays jam up.one tip is Kamui and the other is a Lepro.it weighs 18.8oz and both shafts are premium with totally straight grain.Darrin said he hand selected the shafts for his first run of full splice cues.it is one of the better playing cues i have ever owned.

Johnf , If your wondering if there clean I can tell you first hand that there perfect. Darren has showed me first hand. I have been in his shop and seen them. Infact, thats the first thing I noticed is how perfect the bottom was on his full splice blanks... Very Very nice..
 
Well, from the picture, it doesn't look like he makes his full splice come to a point at the bottom of the points....not saying anything bad about it....I just wanted to see a little better view of his technique. I am definitely interested in the cue though.
 
i will try to get a close up for you.they are perfect as Bish said,and they are squared as you thought.

was that with a macro setting on the camera? If not macro will help you get very close up pictures. Still better than my pictures any day
 
i tried the Macro,but it was too close.it is the camera not me.i bought it yesterday b/c i knew i would have to photo my cues and i studied at Cnet which to buy and the Cannon SD1000 was their top pick for under $200.i found one at Best Buy for $179 and it is great and easy.i used my wife's camera 1-2 years ago for Ebay stuff and it was nothing like this.technology i guess.

I have a older Olympus camera, had to break down and read the manual on the macro function. It works, but my hands shake too much for me to use it. Mine sucks for getting up real close.

You might look at http://photofiltre.free.fr/frames_en.htm for a free image editor. Actually pretty powerful, but fairly easy to use. Great for cropping and changing image size. Can do a lot more, but I'm not smart enough to figure it all out.
