They look fine!
Nice choice of woods, I would go with a bit lighter colored rings on a,b and e.
Keep going!

you know if your going to make a plain cue with no real inlays choice of wood is imperative and you did a great job. there classic examples of how you can make a cue pop without all the fancy bling :thumbup:

Those look great. Really impressive for just number 5 & 6. Keep up the good work and keep showing them off.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Yes there are some imperfections. I'm still learning. But I'm having lots of fun!

I like the joint rings on the second one, what pin are you using. I argree , you have to use great wood on a pj

It's a 3/8-10 joint pin.

I forgot to mention, these cues are fully cored. Using flat laminated maple cores. Definitely makes for a very solid hit.

Thanks for looking!

Shssss, never talk about the imperfections. You are your own worst critic.

The cues look great! Looking forward to what comes next!
