Love the wood, should look really nice when all shined up!

a couple of close ups of the curly maple

[j6uk]

i wasn't happy with the depth of the flat on my new playing cue so i put on a front splice and cut in a shallower flat.
will be taking this and a few others to the table tomorrow..

Out of Internet does the curly maple play any differently to normal maple?

[j6uk]

haven't played with many curly maple cues but this has straight grain so im expecting a firm crisp hit.. not easy to work cutting across the curl lines, lots more sanding

[billabong]

I played for a while with an old machine spliced one which was refurbed by Sean Parker. Played very nice too.

I own a one piece , m/s Tiger Maple that has a Weildings weight stamp , solid hit , great cue . Tony Glover has an absolutely fantastic Reece with a Tiger Maple shaft that puts mine to shame . I have no doubt , Jason , that your cue will have a really solid hit but dont get distracted when the table lights highlight the rings . Lovely work by the way , what spec do you think it will come in at ?

Are you ending up with a growing collection of cues now or are you steadily moving them on as you go?

[j6uk]

i have a small collection now, some have gone, some shafts resting, and a few ready to go. then theres now these restoration pieces im doing in between things

[Big Splash!]

Sounds good mate. Things really coming along now. How long since you started making cues?

been tinkering for about 5yrs, but splicing and cutting shafts for a year an a half.

interesting to see what others were doing yesterday as iv been opening up these vintage cues, may need to start documenting the process.
