how was this done

[desi2960]

the ideas are endless, i made this ' full splice ' cue, both handle and forearm were cut on my bandsaw.

couple notes, dont rag my butt i know the points are only 5 inches long, but this was an experiment to see if i could make a cue that looked like a true fullsplice using only my bandsaw. cue has only a sealer.

if i did not put the veneer in, it would really have looked like a fs.

can you figure out how the pieces were cut?

I have a good idea how But id say BHQ, brent could answer far better.

 

[owll]

butterfly on butterfly, 90 degrees off?

 

[cueman]

I agree. Cut one full splice butterfly. Glue it up and then cut another full splice butterfly. The Russian makers do a lot of this kind of thing.

cool idea chuck, I dig it....

great way to make fullsplice butterlies cool.

 

[desi2960]

if you did the

butterfly then a 2nd butterfly there would be 4 butterfly splices or rounded points. This cue only has 2. Ill get photos of the process

Replacing the forearm piece with the second full splice butterfly would give 4 sharp looking points like you have and wipe out the first two butterflys.

not........................

Cut a two point cue the traditional way and then cut two opposite butterfly cuts to make a 4 point cue?

photos asap

i will get photos of all the different pieces of wood i used asap.

this is a photo of what the darker wood, or the back part of the cue looked like when i started, it was never cut more than this. all other pieces were cut then glued in place at different times.

the entire butt was glued together square then turned round.

so those 2 pieces of maple with the veneer around them are wedge shaped, and cut on one side to match the angle of the cut on the 4 prong. 3rd maple piece (or first) goes down the middle of the other 2.(perpendicular) I like it very ingenious

 

[desi2960]

owll

you got it, i love to try things a bit different. i will most likely never build another one, but its like opening up xmas packages when you build a cue square then turn it round, some times you get unexpected results, some great some not so.

Awesome idea. I envy some of the old school wood turners for their knowledge, skill, and craftsmanship to assemble woods so when turned result in a cool design. I have often played with the concept...and bugged some old pen makers and cabinet makers for hints and tips.

At the end of the day...if your base product is an assembled and turned design, then you all inlays, points or other things to compliment, you get something wicked and top notch.
