j6 cue stories

i cut a few inches off the back, doweled it then added x4 ebony with x4 veneers of wenge and black oak.the original butt is rose wood.
the weight is one of my machined bullets, no thread

Certainly a transformation; shaft looks great.

Keep forgetting you make you're own bullets!

Design reminds me of a Powerglide from the late 70s/early 80s in which case it would air-dried angel ash. There's a lot of lacquer which is a sort of clue though I don't remember weight stamps. Maybe I'm getting falsely excited here. lol

You luv yer Powerglides Don't cha!!

Our clubs just about to have a clear out of old members cues so I'll keep an eye out for Angel Ash!

yes and with the ebony, wenge and black oak, its all blended in quite nicely. think i may even apply a lacquer mix so as to give it that enhancing protective shell.
and may even do a cue rescue cue review sometime in the week

Like the sound of that.

I take it you mean lacquer for the butt and oil for the shaft....not trying to be smart!

yes, i have a few mixtures but yeah a solid clear satin butt then a invisible transition to a oil burnished shaft. so it will have that glow as well as play and feel real smooth

Are you still cue making mate or on a break?

[j6uk]

Yeah had a few things to sort as you do. But been popping into the workshop over the last week making a couple of tucas and tidying up, I'm itching to get back on it. So there will be a burst of work in the coming weeks, can't wait..

That's good then. I remember you talking about a winter break and wondered if you'd stopped for some reason.

Look forward to the burst of energy.........send me some over if you have any spare!

For energy shock I recommend a couple of weeks off the sauce, and take the legs out to pace some hills.
Works for me every time

Ha Ha. Been off the source pretty much for a few years now but yep, could do with a lot more walking as it does make you feel good and a good time to think.

Taking the legs out is the best all around mind body and soul workout, unless you got a keen young blond knocking down the door looking for oldboy action
