Threading tennons at Tournament.

I could be wrong but I believe Joss started doing this back around 94 when they came out with their line of Sneaky Pete's with the inlaid points. I believe they were having them made overseas. I believe what they did was take a wide board of Maple and a wide board of the handle material (Cocobolo, Macassar ebony, Bocota or Gabon) and finger jointed them together. They then were sawed into 1.375 width strips and then turned.

The finger jointed cues Joss was making were being finger jointed in the rough in Michigan. I also used some blanks from the guy for a while. That lasted for several years and now he no longer makes them for them. Joss got the finger jointed blanks from him, then turned them down and inlaid the points over them.
