Ok, maybe if the wood does move on the lathe, you have to reset the billet and restart so any time saving is lost?
But isn't it safer than an electric plane?Did you put my "1" up ?

I'm not saying it would be super accurate, but for the rough cutting stage, squares to first rounds?

It is possible to turn a 1 piece cue on a lathe without steadies.
The speed and feed are critical to stop vibration and too much deflection.
As golferson said a router is used and not chisels.
You don't need a lathe with 60" between centres as you can produce in two halves, but to reduce distortion you ideally do need to hold the wood between centres and not between a chuck and centre.
Sorry for going off topic j6. Nice work BTW, never seen anyone show producing a butterfly splice on here before. Interesting, thanks.

J6 producing a shark, no idea where he got that idea from. lol I've never understood the attraction of butterfly when splicing leads to more shaft getting to the butt end. Same with machine splicing, seems wrong. Sorry J6! But he does do a great butterfly job.Last edited by Master Blaster; 14 June 2015, 08:39 AM.

it depends this is the third cut, but i dont think there going anywhere so i'll go straight into the octagon this week.. these are the 6 of 12 i cut from the same log and from the other 6 only a few moved, even then i got them back. those others should be ready for their final shaping within a few weeks

3 cuts and resting, this ain't no cheap Thai or Chinese cue, this is an M&S cue!Last edited by Master Blaster; 24 June 2015, 08:05 PM.
