Shaft Tapers

Do you do make shafts for all types of joints and pins? Most of my cues are SS 5/16-14 and have piloted compression shafts. I have a couple of cues that are 3/8-10 flat faced. I think every cue of yours I've seen on here has a 3/8-10, or similar, pin and is flat faced. Do you think your shafts play the same on cues with different joint styles? I know that is a hard question to answer, but as much as you've played I figure you may have experimented some.

I'm interested in "playability" only and am interested in trying out shafts with different tapers. Little imperfections in color do not bother me as much as playability does.

I also like shafts that are thicker than the normal player uses..above 13mm. What are your ideas on that? I just recently had Scot Sherbine make me a 14mm for one of my old cues and it plays well, but it will only fit on that one cue due to the pin.

The reason I'm asking is I need to figure out which cue I want to try a new shaft on.

I typically don't do other joints, but I can. Were you looking for a shaft blank, or a finished shaft?

A was thinking of a finished shaft, by you, for one of my cues. I was going to figure out which cue, based upon your response.
