Great job on the 147 cue jim...

I like the longer finger splicing on a cue, out of interest, How long are the 'fingers' bud?

[jim evans]

the front one you see which is the most even is 9-1/2 inch the two back ones are slightly longer

[old school]

If your welding was as good as your woodcraft,why did you stop.The Glovers were both engineers before cue makers as was Kevin Muncaster and I think Andy Travis used to work in the steel industry .Am I spotting a trend here maybe ? p.s. you can fool your WB on your camera phone by using different light sources e.g. tungsten light vs fluorescent ,each will give different colour balance options.I was only asking beacause I think the colours in the j.pegs are doing your work a disservice ,such a shame after all the effort you have put in,it was not meant as a criticism.Please continue to share the results of your work with the forum.

Take your pics outside then Jim, in between the showers of course
ps Also liking the "long" fingers on the splices

[jim evans]

only joking old school,packed up welding cos i was fkd both hips went,trev were a welder as well in a earlier life lol,could use proper camera but a lazy git anall,the cues are ok in my opinion worth buying if anybody wants a cheapish cue not 100% but you woudnt be paying top prices so depends what you want got decent finishes using pooljunkies oil on blower for some more in a bit
