What does everybody think about coring of front prong? Before or after gluing points in? Logic tells me if you are using ebony, tulipwood, kingwood, or any other heavy front prong material and then glue in points out of other heavy material you would be better off coring after the points are glued in. I know from experience how careful you have to be when coring so you don't get things too hot and break down the epoxy. I use 2 part epoxy so the glue lines don't show. Does anyone use anything different? I am asking also because making a cue where the wrap handle has to be cored also so might as well core the whole cue. Any input appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm thinking you are losing the effect and purpose of coring which is weight and balance... Just a thought.
 
There are many reasons to core a cue. Stability, structural integrity, weight, balance, rigity, consistancy etc...
But then everyone looks at things differently.

Points should go in when the forearm is close to finished size.
Cores should go in when the partss are still very oversized.
A possible exception could be full spliced cues.
