One piece core for handle and forearm

[fish2]

Has anyone made a cue with a one piece core (28 inches long) for the forearm and handle. The core can be radially or flat laminated

It’s been done for a long time by many cue makers.

Yeah done that several times. I think all Joss cues are made that way.

Done by many.
Some use a large blank and keep the middle big enough as underwrap.
I'm not a fan of it

I have used a two step core going all the way through Ebony to make a 19 ounce Ebony cue. I have a bunch of blanks by Reuben Fisher that have a single core going all the way through with forearm, handle and butt sleeves all different kinds of woods.

Perhaps a silly question, but have you experimented with using the thinner side of the core as the forearm and compared it to having the thinner side as the butt? What were your thoughts? I hope that makes sense.

That's usually how a full length core is made. Forearm @5/8" ish, handle @3/4"

This one, I wanted an -A- joint in the Core for balance purposes. You can do whatever you want, if you can define how to do it!

I don't know if they all are, but I'm glad the Thor hammer by Joss was.
The Customer wanted to turn it into a break/jump.
