Sometimes, you just have to see if what your doing comes close to what you think you know. Sometimes it does. Always a question, always a riddle.
Glue lines??

I see cement lines under the cue with no glue lines.
You got lucky again!
Damn!
I'm flying over to see the setup.
I'll bring cheesecake .

Thank you.
You'd get a laugh. It's not always the machine but the one standing in front of it. I'm probably nuts. Lol

That's spelled SHARPIE.
Thank you Gentlemen. I try to go forward everyday. The white is Elforyn. It has grain and what I prefer on my white joints and butt caps. It's even great for inlays. Glues well does not retain dust and holds finish well. I Always wondered if I could do a cored forearm with it and with the customers approval to do something different as a test for the material and myself. I came up with this. As in all of my new cues, it has a 3/4 Maple core. My core tolerance is .003 and it's epoxied not gorilla glued. The weight of it cored is simular to Ebony. I cut my points old school on a lathe. I use two different ratios for my six point cues to get the full look I want without the high overlapping of the two. I like them to meet near the rings above the wrap. I posted this because I was asked to. When you try to help in the Cue maker section as I try to. Sometimes it helps with a visual versus just words.

The rest of it. The handle is maple dyed black. Pink ivory ring with a touch from Mr. Spains book. Thank you Mr. Spain.
Elforyn also looks good in Ebony.
Mike,
You are amazing. I look forward to reading your posts,comments and seeing what you've been up to lately. I truly thank you for taking time to share a million or so bits of wisdom and information with us as do many others I'm sure.....And for having a good sense of humor.
Jay
Ditto! always look forward to reading stories or viewing pics Mike shares.
Thank you Jay. At best, I guess at wood puzzles just like everyone else does. Having theories of what you hope they could be is a real riddle. There was a time when I thought I hated what I do. It cost me a few years. The truth was, I never hated Cue repairing or Cue construction, I was just disgusted with myself. Your comment did make me laugh. I need more of that.
Thank you
Great work Mike!
Awesome builds Mike. I've had a few requests for cues with white handle and I've been a bit hestitant to core big pieces of Juma, but it looks like it works just fine.
I got a shipment from Elforyn today, got a sample piece of their new Elforyn Tusk, that might be perfect for that ivory look

Thank you Gentlemen. I appreciate it more than you know.
