The Search For "Five".....

I'm trying to do a search to find makers of "five point full splice" cues. When I enter my search info and click "go" the results display:

"The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search: FIVE".

This means the search is only returning results for "point full splice", which isn't too helpful.
So, are there any members who can help me with the names of makers who regularly make a nice quality five point full splice cue.
I know of a few, but would like to see an exhaustive list.

Also, is their any way we can petition to have numbers added to the search database?
It seems that on a pool forum, being able to search for a number would be an asset; it seems many have a favorite or specific number of points, veneers, etc. they are looking for.

various searches

Do an advanced search and either search on the exact phrase or all of the words and put "five point" in quotes as I just did so it becomes one word in the eyes of the search engine.

Due to the dedicated equipment and the time it takes to set up the jigs to make a full splice, I don't think you will have much luck. I think your best bet would be Scott Whisler in Mesa Az (whislercues.com), he has some very creative methods for building cues.

I was looking to search this forum, not search on outside site engines...

Bump for five point full splice cuemakers...
Can anyone out there help???

Do some research on how full splices are made, and you will figure out why you haven't many responses. Getting set up for full splices requires a huge amount of time, a small financial investment in the new equipment, and the valuable shop space. There are only a handfull of cuemakers who have been inclined to do this for even the basic four pointers, and a different number of points would require a completely new set-up. The reason I mentioned Scott Whisler, is that I saw a sample 6 point splice he did, and I think he uses a different splicing method than the traditional one.
 
I believe Mark Bear has made some full splice 5 pointers. I could have sworn I saw one recently on billiardcue.com, but I just checked and it's not there. Go to www.bearcues.com and send him a message.
 
A plus sign before a Google search term forces it to be included.

+"5 point" +"full splice" +cue

and

+"five point" +"full splice" +cue

come up empty.

I already know (the basics of) how full splices are made. I already know (the basics of) the reasons why most builders think it's cost prohibitive.
I'm asking a question to be informed of something I don't know.
The information I seek is an exhaustive list of makers who make a quality five point full splice cue.

I found it pretty hard to find the information on the large search engines, which is why I searched here.
But, the fact that "five" is an excluded search term on this site, makes searching here a bit like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.

I didn't have any issues using the number 5. Put everything in quotes so that it searches for the exact phrase.

Anyway, Paul Drexler possibly. http://pfdcues.com/html/cues/0307.html I'm not sure this is really a 5 point full-splice, however.

It looks like it is. The grain of the purpleheart extends, uninterupted into the handle and I don't see a circumfrential glue line. I wonder who he got a 72 degree cutter from. :confused:

All my inquires have proven this to be a very short list.

Did you expect it to be a longer list?

I would think that going to a 5-pt full splice would compromise the structural advantage of a full-splice simply from the higher precision demands.

5-pt half splice on the other hand, ... not so bad a choice as the fit can be controlled a little better (a lot better?). IMO.
