the above cue is lively i believe but it has an unusual grain patern, though al the butt splices are aligned with the first shevron.. now, looking forwars to slapping a few ball around

[j6uk]

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 ?

inbetween cooking right now but im not too sure what that is.. no it was not really a problem, its a bit like playing, once you line the shot up right from the off your good to go

Great work Jas , top one of the 3 looks fantastic .

cheers man i like that one too, an i think its gonna hit

Round butt .......yippeeeeeeeee!

Absolute quality innit? Hand planed and sanded, round butts, no daft joints, no silly SD joints, no mini-butts, no telescopic attachments, no case as big as 747, just a PURE cue for the purists. Lovely work J6.

Surely not, what with all those splices and glue ?

Golferson, I'd be interested to hear from you, as a cue maker, about splices and vaneers. I've seen a lot of very fancy cues on ebay/FB/here/etc, some are very ornate with marquetry as well. Sometimes, the sellers have said they can't get on with a cue and have another from the same cuemaker that they prefer. The classic example was that TW with a lot of splice, marquetry etc. I've seen very fancy JPs put up for sale as well. So do these cues lack feel, given that much more of the shaft wood has been planed away to make way for long exotic hardwoods way up the cue? I'm thinking to myself, even when these fancy cues are 1-piece, they can't contain much more shaft wood than a solid hardwood 3/4 butted cue. And then there's all that glue as well. How can that be good for feel?
