machine/hand made?

[filobido]

Hi all. Can anyone help settle a dispute between me and my mate regarding my raper and sons horace lindrum champions cue. I'm adamant it's handmade and he reckons machine made. It's a one piece 16oz.

Any pics ??
Read this to help you, if the splices are pointy it's machine made, if curved it's hand made

I'm having no joy uploading any pictures on my Moby so that doesn't help identify it!! Thanks for the reply though the link was helpful and I'm more convinced than ever it's hand spliced

I had a little smile and thought that both of you could be right - in a fashion
have a look at these two cues
http://www.oldcues.co.uk/index.php?i...&player=horace lindrum

the top cue is machine-spliced ebony onto the shaft with hand-spliced front splices;
the bottom cue is hand-spliced ebony onto the shaft with hand-spiced front splices.

are either like your cue?, these two have the younger picture; there is another version with an older image of his bust (no cue), again you can have both machine- and hand- spliced butt-wood, with hand-spliced front splices.

you need over 10 posts on TSF to use the attachment feature; but you can use photobucket-type sites at anytime and copy/paste the IMG code to display your images in your posts
