i asked Dimitri if i could buy one of his full splice blanks to finish out.he sent me this one.it is beautiful and the splices are all perfect with no glue lines to be seen anywhere.i should have it done in a couple of months and i will post pics here.

woods

hey mason,

that blank looks great. considering that you're a wood nut, just wondering which woods were used and if you had chosen the woods or if you chose the blank after it was done.

good luck

Dmitry is a pretty talented fellow, think he deserves alot of credit. Fullsplice recuts! does anyone know how hard that is

Please keep us updated, cant wait to see how it turns out

 

[masonh]

i just bought it after it was built.it is black hornbeam,paduak,and yellow heart i believe is the yellow wood.i have never tried hornbeam before but i read it is a lot like maple.

i am extremely impressed with the full splice recuts,i have no idead how he does it but they look great.no glue lines,gaps or cracked points either.it is very impressive and the price was reasonable.

i'm going to let it sit for a month then cut it to size in about 3 passes.it came to me at .900".i am trying to decide whether it should get rings or maybe Hoppe style or ???

yeah i think hoppe style would work great with it

Full Splice Blank

Mason,
Looking forward to seeing the completed cue. I'm still playing with the Cocobolo and Curly Koa cue that you made, love how the cue plays.
Take Care,
Charles

 

[masonh]

thanks guys.the cue will be posted for sale when completed in the for sale section.

glad you are still using the Cocobolo/Koa cue Charles,how is the new taper on that shaft treating you?

Mason,
The retapered shaft is doing fine, it's getting a lot of table time.
Take Care,
Charles

I got to play with a couple of DBK's cues and they played great. I was really impressed with the construction and balance of both cues. This blank should turn out to be a knockout in Mason's hands! Can't wait to see it finished.

Nice blank.
Did you get hornbeam shaft blank too?

I am also interested is seeing the completed cue. What is your best estimate of when you will have it finished.

Did you ever finish this?

Did you ever finish this?

Mason hasn't signed in here in 8 months and has posted only once in the past 5 years.

[But maybe he'll respond.]

 

[Simple]

Afaik he didn't.

 

[johnnysd]

Afaik he didn't.

That's too bad. I love looking at cue making progressions Like Kim Walker does. So cool to see a cue be born.

 

[Chopdoc]

It's a cool blank. It would indeed be nice to see the finished cue.


If he finished it, maybe somebody here has it and could show it off?


Just a thought.
