j6 cue stories

[Erwan_BZH]

Hey Jason, I have always wondered how you manage to "unsplice" a cue, eg when you need to replace it because it is to short or because splices are worn out? How dod you do not to damage the cue? Could you film that operation one day?
Cheers!

And keep up the good work, the quality of your cues is really impressive !

[j6uk]

generally i would just re-splice. you got a pic of a problem?

[Erwan_BZH]

No, not at all, was more of a general question. Was curious of how you proceed, technically, when replacing a splice. I though you were removing it completly.

[j6uk]

i have prized off a front splice and replaced it, but a bit risky trying to do it on a full-splice. all depends on the cue and its issue

[Erwan_BZH]

I guess the main risk here would be to tear the wood down as everything is glued together, right?

yeah from what you describe its just easier to resplice, then your bypassing creating another problem

I always wondered the same type of thing, is it possible if you have a one piece cue say in full spliced rosewood, can you get that respliced to full ebony, or is that not possible?

Just plane the splices off and replace with ebony.

iv done a few re-splices, and ts not fun. id rather make another cue from scratch that go over other peoples work.time wasted cutting out lumps bumps that others aint bothered with, could almost cut a knew shaft in the same time

should have this ebony maple on the table in a couple of days

Not a fan of maple but it looks a nice solid hitter

Is that difficult to make a round butt cue compare to other chamfer butt

The reason I'm ask is because one of the uk cue maker ask for 25gbp more for a round butt cue. I'm not asking for less but 25gbp for a round butt cue is just feel unfair and **** me off.

Great looking shafts. Keep up the good work mate.

no, they all start off round

Great looking shafts. Keep up the good work mate.
