Here is a 6 point ebony cue with 3hi and 3 low points with curly maple forearm, ebony and curly maple rings in A,B,C,D,E,F positions. This cue is going to have a SS joint and a leather wrap with a 3/8 10 pin. Any ways hope everyone likes the pics.

Joe i think that cue will look very nice when completed. Only thing i dont like about the cue is that the points are cnc cut and not sharp.

how do you know the points were cut and milled with a machine that uses CNC technology??

the cue looks nice Joe! a smooth black antique leather wrap would really set it off nicely!
 
the points are indeed cnc per the customers request. If I had my way they would be short splice.
thanks

my point was just because the points are flat bottom "inlaid" and the inlays and pockets have radiuses, doesn't mean that a machine utilizing CNC technology was used to cut and mill them. it could have been a pantomill/pantograph or any other milling machine for that matter, because the cutters used for milling and cutting inlays are the same regardless of machine. machines utilizing CNC can also be used to make razor sharp short or full splices as well. on a different note, what "type" of leather are you going to put on the cue??

I know what you were meaning. The leather will either be a black textured or a black lizard print wrap.
 
Hi Joe

Nice and clean design. What makes me excited about this example of your work is your choice of materials. That tight grained front is going to play solid! I enjoy the sound of a good cue as much as its beauty. Thanks for the look.

Thanks for all the kind words. It will be finished in about a week. Its going to have a lizard print leather wrap picked by the customer.

So, what was your point? Does it matter? CNC or panto mill equals same radius. He got the point across that the cue is not a half nor full splice but a flat bottom without going into every possible detail.

I HATE SPEAKING FOR OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I BELIEVE TIM'S POINT WAS THAT OTHER METHODS (NOT CNC) CAN ALSO RESULT IN A ROUNDED POINT. HE'S ON A MISSION TO GET PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE NO REAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CNC AND PANTOGRAPHS OTHER THAN ONE IS CONTROLLED BY A COMPUTER. AND THAT IT'S MORE ABOUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES,(HAND SHARPENING THE INLAYS/POINTS) THAN IT IS ABOUT THE MACHINE

P.S. TIM, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND THAT I SPOKE FOR YOU, BUT I THINK I GOT YOUR POINT, BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION.

SPOT ON! but not only for inlay work but for all machine work. thanks for your very eloquent response. i'm glad you responded this way cause truth be known it's sometimes hard for me to be so reserved with all the misconception about machining out there.
