j6 cues

[matthias]

yeah marc, it was a buzz to have a very nice player ask you to make them a cue, though im starting to feel it a bit now getting to the crunch point when all the prepping has been done and the pieces need to slot together.
as long as it plays as i expect im happy regardless. it actually comes of the same trunk as the last cue a few pages back.

you have made lots of brilliant cues by now, just let your natural OCD take over, it will be a cracker

my guess, Dominic Dale :biggrin:

As long as you're happy with it mate. The rest is just personal.

Really enjoyed the thread so far Jason, congratulations on that commission.

I'm guessing you might be the type of person who listens more to critique of your work rather than flattery. Usually artistic or craft people, feed off this in a pursuit to be as good as they possibly can be. All great craftsman come through an apprenticeship and for you it looks like a labour of love.

I can understand you waiting for the moment when you feel you are ready to badge your work, it's admirable not cashing in at the earliest. Don't fall in to the artists trap of thinking nothing is ever good enough to put your name to, these babies deserve a J6 badge! 😉

first cue to come through my new practice, and though its still in development im very happy with the result as this is exactly how i visualized the strike on the splices. looking forwards to the finish so as to star the next..

Looking good jason

[Cue crafty]

That's a good sign happy to hear you are pleased with the results of your labour. I heard recently that machine splice cues are becoming rare because it's just as easy now to turn out the hand spliced look on the machine! This probably means new craftsman like you will become fewer, that's sad. However, your time is now no one can take that from you. The pictures of the cue look mint! Thanks for sharing!

crafty i feel im getting closer to where i wanna be, in the way i work and the results, with each cue i make. and the quality of the pics is thanks to an old ipad handed down from big sis so, things are felling into place nicely.

Nice splices J, very even and crisp.

Obviously your set up is starting to pay dividends.

[Ramon]
