I must have had a good piece because the wenge I've used was a pleasure to work with. It cut very cleanly with no tear out and sanded to a high shine. Must have just been lucky I guess.

To be honest I wouldnt use Wenge again, looked amazing but was hard to work and too much hasle with goggles etc.
I did talk to MW afterwards and he said there are the 'standard' set of woods that most cue makers use for a reason, that reason being they look the best and the best results can be achieved easily with them.

Makes perfect sense really! Great experience for you though and you certainly got a beautiful result out of the wood and the customer is happy. I think people will often look for something that is different and unusual and as MW pointed out there is a probably a good reason why you don't see it around.

I'm happy with Ebony and a single splice of Birds Eye Maple a la Joe Davis' or could be pushed for a bit of Masur Birch if feeling daring!!

dont get any splinters

Just read up on it a little more and discovered it is an irritant to the eyes, I certainly was lucky as was never goggled up! I remember it 'catching' a few times on the plane, I put it down to my technique Beautiful stuff once finished!

+ always wear a mask & keep the extraction on ( so I've heard ).

Cue plays and looks very nice . .

How did you find working with Wenge Jason? It is one of the few exotics I've had a play with.

dont get any splinters

[Stupree]

Yep Wenge left overs, got enough for 2 more front splices.

Both cues are custom orders, although I am taking orders at the mo, 3 month wait.

Its the 1 klik for mine mate..ill be in touch to order one..Karlos

[JasonOwen]

He hasn't got in touch because he hasn't got access to the internet. He loves the cue and has his Parris ultimate for sale as he prefers yours. Must admit the shaft is pure quality with a lovely grain and great chevrons. Would you be able to supply a 1 klick extension???

Your making me blush!!

I can supply a telescopic, but cue 48 has a screw thread??
Or do you want the 1klik for yours?

[karlos fandango]

Karl, cheers mate for the kind words.
Hadn't heard back from Cue 48 so good to know he is happy with it.
I've gone to a screw thread for the mini joint as I prefer it to the 1klik. No real reason really.
