Cue Oil Question

[thai_son22]

I was looking at cue oil online such as the mike wooldridge one.

Are these cues oils to be used identically for maple cues as they are on ash cues?

sorry if its a silly question but as maple is generally less popular playing shaft.

thanks

Dont think maple gets oiled but am sure some one will post aswell

Every wood needs maintenance some more often some less

Danish oil for maple cues.

You can use linseed or Danish oil on ash and maple.
Danish oil is linseed oil with driers in it so it goes off in and 10-15 minutes, instead of having to leave it over night.

Anything wrong with using Lemon Oil?

[Ninja.cues]

To be honest, I've never used it and not sure of the finish you would get on a cue.
Could give it a try on some wood and see how it feels..
I use Danish oil mist of the time myself.

True oil is fantastic for the butt. Not for the shaft though.

away from the shaft

Ordinary linseed oil takes weeks to go off fully that's why I stopped using it I buy my oil from Dave courts now if it good enough for him it's good enough for me bought a bottle years ago and still got plenty left small bottle lasts a very long time.

Sometimes use linseed as I first coat on a new cue...

Every danish oil is different, more often its tung oil based rather than linseed. Linseed with driers is just boiled linseed, Danish oil is a blend of oils, resins and driers, and it dries quick but still needs around 5hrs to dry enough to add another coat.

I will ask them where I get mine as they make they are a manufacturer, not just a shop.

Some recipes will use polymerised linseed oil, but on the whole it tends to be tung oilas the main oil, some will have both oils in but they pretty much all have resins aswell as driers.
