**Post Pictures of your cue!**

[mikeyd100]

New projects to be started. I have not made cues in almost two years and these are 5 that I want to try. Should be completed in the next 3 weeks as these are weekend projects. In my previous attempts I shied away from using veneers but I am giving it a try this time. Plain designs. No multisplices. I will be posting these completed cues in the next few weeks. Shafts are bought in as I have no access to quality ash. Know some people may turn their noses at this but it is what it is.

Nice one good luck.
In my opinion no one should have an issue about bought in shafts, purely because of the fact that you have made it clear they are bought in.

I've never heared of there is a cue maker whose name is Mark Richard in China. Was it made in China or you just bought from China?
But never mind, so long as it plays well for you.

Well it's advertised as English made but I'd imagine they just switched the badge plays well tho very happy with it

I use Chrome, that's not the problem, instead of pasting the whole album, you need to paste each individual IMG code for each picture

That's a nice cue! :snooker:

[QUOTE=Tommykiid;894676]With my budget being very limited I went down the old Chinese route and was pleasantly surprised with what I got to be honest

The pictures look dim and couldn't see the badge.
You got it from China?

I still think that would only teach how to get a cue that looks good.

I'd rather have a rubbish looking cue that played well, than vice versa. . Only my opinion though. each to their own and all that. . .

Nope fair point Bong, I agree with you.

Nice one Tommy, hope it plays well for you.
No reason that it shouldnt if it is made to a reasonable level.

See when you are just learning, why don't you just resplice the same cue over and over with cheap wood ,just to practice, save you ending up with a pile of mistakes.

I'll be honest mate, I didn't throw myself in to it like the others. Was just a project to see if I could do it. I pick up odd hobbies, my last one was lock picking lol

Good effort that lad, it cant be easy and must be frustrating too when starting out.
Bet you could do it if the patience holds out.

Like you said fair play to those who have done it. J6 springs to mind, everyone is happy with the few cues he has sold.

I agree with you about J6, been producing some lovely cues. I wouldn't mind one of his myself.
