Chalk in the Grain

[The Doctor]

I would stain first then sand back then oil.

Yeah oiling comes last

[stejohn]

might be an idea to mix some sanding sealer with the grain filler to help seal the grain. Then cut back and oil.

You've done a great job on it, is this going to be your playing cue?

Made a really nice job of that mate...out of interest which grain filler did you use?? was it a black one or did you mix it with a colour??...Karlos

Now for the butt as you can see from these pics Im trying to lengthen the cue plus move the flat in line with the points and add a bit of weight. By cutting a line just above the flat and adding x3 of these sections of ebony.
Im not so worried about doing the job but I am concerned about the sound and play of the cue after. Any ideas?
Maybe I will start a new thread about this

I can get so much on the white with such little effort, so It will be for playing.

Thanks stejohn I'll look into that next time, for this job gonna stick to what Iv got to hand. Do you think bees wax after the oiling prosess will do ok?

Thanks for the input and compliments all

i don't like beeswax myself, it can get sticky after a while, just go with the oil and buff really, really well in between coats and keep on buffing!

Yeah I'll do that stejohn. Not to keen on the beeswax smell eather.
