Neil, JP gets the best timber he can but it still ain't the equal of my air-dried and I have both cues sitting here to know.
1. Air-dried
2. Angel Ash
3. Kiln
I believe there to be an inconsistency between pro JPU and JPU. And an inconsistency between the rest of the range. But hey, you know a lot about which cue makers are using which timber, where the shafts came from to be in the UK so for my benefit, are you gonna tell us?
Cue makers that use ready made cues from the Far East ?Still trying to pot as many balls as i can !

Going off at a slight tangent, I emailed these people, and asked for a wee offcut from their oak,
but never got a reply .

When you make a reply like the quoted post, I'd like to know which two cue makers are you implying are in disagreement?

Then if you look back there's the disagreement on ferrules as well. Shall I go on? They can't agree on basic stuff and they then tell the rest of us we don't know anything. If they could show consistency amongst themselves, maybe their superior knowledge and attitude might be believable? I know a cue maker who swears blind joints are awful and then we have the bear who is very proud of his joints and loves them. Shall I go on, do you want me to trawl all of TSF and show you how much cue makers disagree? Listen to Aurora and it's bog wood all the way, other cue makers on here have poo pooed it. I know another cue maker (not a tsf member) who swears by air-dried (not fair to mention his name) but that would be in complete contrast to other cue makers wouldn't it? Endless disagreements. So when I hear a cue maker say he knows more about wood and cues and is simply right, I just laugh.
Maybe sticking to one topic in the one thread might reduce the confusion ... just a thought
