Thanks for the nice comments about my cue, it is rather purty isn't it! To answer the questions: it's not my table unfortunatley, one day I would love to have a place big enough to own one.
The cue is Ash/ Ebony with Olivewood splicings, weighs 18.5 ounces, stands fairly short at 56.5 inches. The olivewood really glows, I have had the cue about 6 months and just gave it a very small linseed oil treatment, looks like it has brought out the tone of the wood.
I have owned machine made cues including a Riley, Barracuda. My last cue was a Hand spliced cuecraft cue which was ok but warped over a period of 5 years use. I have played with a few John Parris cues but they don't feel as good as my current cue (I'm biased though).

Marklewis81 : what is the spec of yours? I hope it's a goodun when it arrives!

Thanks, Jon

Olivewood splice is one of my favourite...how much you pay for this cue?

B) actually. I measured the cues with my mobile phone built in mass spectrometer, ultrasound device and laser goniometer.

what it does is takes a perfect 3D model of the cues, measuring the density and geometry of each specific wood splice.

then it is very easy to calculate mass, length, balance point and so on...

That's an app and a half! Sorry this is slightly OT I'll post a load of pics to make up for it....

mines going to be a 3/4 cocobolo butt with 4 secondary coco splices with thick maple veneers its going to be similar to this cue i seen on ebay made by robin only mine will have the maple veneers

Something.....well.....a little different...

Just finished this cue for a chap who plays for our county. Not my cup of tea, but different. Badge setting and final finish has not been done yet, but had to get some pics done before light fails.

Ash with single ebony splice, thick maple veneer and purpleheart front splice. Butt finished with ebony, maple and purpleheart. 8mm tip, 57.5" length. Extra long flat added at his request.

Looks different ! - but does only having splices on one side of the butt make the balance feel a lot different to a 'normal' spliced cue ?? - and is the weight of this cue quite light then ??

[jrc750]

My cue will be put on show tomorrow..

Still waiting Spike
Oh and by the way not sure how to post pics, so thats my recently bought 15 year old John Parris classic in my avatar (photo courtesy of seller, hope thats ok)

Yes it would of. I thought about this before i made it as the ebony is a large piece at 21". Hence rather than simply drilling the weight centered, the weight is set lower and slightly further forwards to counter the larger area of Ebony at the back. The guy always plays with the flat up so the cue should play as normal.....in theory
