Great pictures mate, it really shows the amount of work you're putting in to making a decent shaft.
Those number 7 planes are certainly a beast.
Looks like you have a nice collection of shafts at different stages now so may more cues soon then.

Sweet!
Must be a nice feeling when someone wants something you have made.

Spent the last few hours reading this post from start to finish... As someone who never really put any thought into the making of cues, this really is an eye opener and makes me appreciate the effort that cue makers go through. Think it is great that you have taken the effort to show people what you are up to and your standard of work looks great.
If you ever get on to making maple cues I would be really interested in buying one. I do agree with others regarding ebony btw, nothing looks better than a nice maple shaft and a plain ebony butt.
