j6 cue stories

[Master Blaster]

J6, you can get small quantities of ebony and other hardwoods on ebay for not a lot of money, you probably know this already. I don't think you need to do commission pieces so fast, just make lots of cues with different weights and BPs, butt sizes, different lengths, tip sizes, etc. Gives you time to learn your trade, gain experience. Let the people pick one from the many. Custom is a tricky biz, even for JP.

Ramon, he's using the very fine sanding finish on ash, no black filler. That's why it looks so pale, but beautiful for those that can appreciate this finish. Lots of work in that shaft. Planed! Traditional skills.

for the chevy chasers out there i will be darkening the grain on this one

J6 smart, learning his trade with less expensive woods, less expensive mistakes. Cues will sell easy, traditionally made. Pukka.

Very nice work . Really like the quad lower splice with double veneers , bet it was a pain aligning them . Post 283 showing stages , is that Cascamite or something similar you are using ?
