Looks great!

How long did each cue take and what kind of equipment are you using (manual or machine)?

[ChatLag]

Looks really nice. I really like that long splicing of the ebony.

That's just incredible. Well done.

It's always been my dream to get into cue making as a hobby when I retire. If I ever retire, that is . I've still got a couple of decades left though. Maybe I should start dabbling before that.

Great job! Splices look good and level.... Need to get back in the 'workshop' and getting working on my next cue

[trigger666]
