New custom cues

Looks like some nice cues-nice work. I love cue makers who use razor sharp points vs cnc milled. Best of luck with the business.

Nice cues. Too bad it seems everyone does irish linen instead of those textured leather wraps :(

GL with them. They are indeed nice.

i get your "point", pun intended :) , but FYI, CNC has nothing to do with it. here's just one example of CNC milled sharp work.........

it's not "that" you use machines that take advantage of the CNC protocol but what you do with them.......

good luck with your sales Doug. :)

It's funny, many of the posts from you that I see are trying to get people to understand that cnc doesn't mean round pointed inlays/points....

it really is amazing what you can do with cnc....and even if you cut a pocket for an inlay that has round corners....you can still knife out the corners for beautiful sharp inlays....

Anyway, keep up the good work of educating!! Rep points for you!

What is the weight on that second cue with the curly maple forearm? What pin are these?

Thanks

To me it looks like his main pin is a 3/8x8 radial/ball screw pin....

what amazes me more is those that think pockets for inlays are milled any differently for sharp inlays....the cutters used for pocketing are all the same and all pocket using these cutters will end up the same way, with radius's, regardless of the machines control, CNC or not. it's what the maker wants to do with the inlay or what it requires that determines whether you want to knife in the rest or leave a radius. another misconception is that too many think that sharp inlays (parts) are cut with different cutters than those used to mill out radiused pockets and are thus not created by "CNC",....they're wrong they're the same cutters. the only differences between machines that uses CNC technology and ones that doesn't are they offer the ability for lower tolerance, greater accuracy, perfect repeatability (especially for shaft making and butt turning) and can diminish many other time consuming aspects of cue building. i've always said it's not that you use this technology but what you do with it that matters.

sorry for the hijack Doug.......
 
Exactly!!!

I will say that I have looked at Doug's website many times and have debated on buying a cue....just haven't been able to gather up cash from my cue sales....nothing but trading going on it seems....which causes me to have to trade too....

Great looking cues! I was wondering what the plan was for the red/black veneered forearm on your current projects page?? I have a red/white/black collection started and that cue may be a good addition if we get some ivory inlays in there....

Oh...and Skins....those are some nice butt sleeves and would fit well in my red/white/black collection too!!

Good video and education accepted. I figured everything was milled in a similiar fashion, just respect/appreciate razored points/work more so then rounded work. :)

I use the radial pins in a lot of my cues. The weight of that cue can be changed very easily. Right now it's weight is 19.25

That forearm is a Curly Maple with 4 Ebony points. Each point has a purple,red,blue and black veneers on them. As of right now there is no owner for that cue. If you are interested let me know.
 
Thank you. Iwould be nice to have a cnc, however my pocket doesn't allow me to at this time. I do have access to a cnc to cut my patterns on for my Gorton pantogragh.
 
Item # 081707

What's the length and weight?
Good combination, and would go well with my latest collection!
PM me with some details!
