Very interesting, a "quilted cue". I rather like it.

[poolqjunkie]

I LOVE it.
Great work. :-)
Keep up the good work, it is amazing what you are able to do.
I cant wait to see your second cue.

[willtyson]

Nice cue, shame the specs are a bit odd :snooker:

[billabong]

Looks ideal for a stumpy pool player like me . . . On my watch list.

i have made cue2 and cue3 now to
cue2 a classic maccassure cue that i gave to my brother as a thank you for helping me with my website, and a multiple spliced copy of my late "dave coutts cue" that i am using myself at the moment. (have promised this cue to my friend)

and i am working on cue4 at the moment, a cue that will have some weight added

I thought by doing a few multiple spliced cues i would learn about splicing quicker ?

i now have my own planks of ash and maple cut to squares so learning to taper my own shafts now

[billabong]

Looking very good. You haven't been to visit the Chrysler building in New York recently have you ?

Have made two on pre turned shafts that i had to thin out, and one on a shaft i turned from square.

i am in the middle of another cue now that ive turned down too

i have given away all the shafts that i had for practice and just have squares that i will turn down to oversized tapers now !
