    I've only had one hornbeam cue and it was as stiff as maple, are you implying they are normally whippy?
    the only hornbeam I have played with was very whippy

      From what Jason Owen told me , when making mine, you need very sharp tools,

      which it does a good job of blunting as well ?

      Nice job there . :snooker:

          You must be the only person I know that enjoys sharpening planes. Want to do mine?

          Kudos on the cue, done well to plane the wenge that cleanly!

                              • i too have never shied away from a round butt but i like to feel a flat butt nowa days, and i hope this stiff cue at 58/9.5/29/17bp/16oz will react on the table the way i think it should. if not i'll go into the top and take it down to a 9/8.5
