Cue Contest

[justf]

Sounds good pottr hope you get a great price for it. Should fly being 1 piece. I bought a second hand jpu while waiting for mine to be made and it cost more than the one i ordered and not as good as tw cue i bought on here. When mine comes may well flog it too. Best of luck with sale mate.

My JPU is completed and ready to be recieved... After nearly a two year wait, I am not entertaining the fact of using a cue other than my TW for the forseeable future...

Does anyone care to make me an offer on my brand new JPU... I have no shame in saying I will be looking to milk as much value from the cue as I can... I will give it a couple of weeks for members to make me an offer before I stick it on ebay and it goes to the Far East......

Lol, I'm sure those words will prove prophetic.

Thuya burl with quilted maple veneer, yummy. Do post some pics...

[DeanH]

ah, I feel sorry for the JPU

[pottr]

9mm

I have to dismiss it... If I start playing with it, I jeapordise losing the bond I have with my current cue.

I really like my TW, a shiny new toy will simply distract me. Better off just selling it

[DeanH]

look forward to seeing the pics
the ferrule size? 9.5mm?

also, don't dismiss the cue until you have had a chance to play with it; as you never know

[pottr]

Cheers bro... when I recieve it, I will take some snaps...

[Chappy5]

Great read this thread.

I wish i had that cash to offer you pottr but i do not. ( Especially when you factor in the Aussie $$ exchange rate and shipping as it would be $1600 Australian minimum )

I would love to see a Pic of it mate when you get it though and it sounds great even though i am not a real Maple lover and more an Ash man!

From start to finish, without letting the wood settle it won't be that long, but a lot will say they taper the shaft then leave it a while then second taper and leave again, so could be months, if you take out the time that woods left to settle then i shouldn't think it would be long at all.

[perpetualboredom]

If you assume you've already prepared a shaft then not as long as most people think would be my answer.
I'm not sure many makers will tell you openly though.. It wouldn't be good for sales for one to say only x if everyone else says y.

[billabong]

I think it's one of those piece of string questions.

How long you leave the shaft to settle between wood removal

probably varies among makers. How many splices, etc etc

[RogiBear]

Does anyone know how long it takes to make a cue from start to finish?

Depends on how you look at it and what you mean by start to finish. Also depends whether you factor in all the time for waiting at various stages or not.

[pottr]

I assume that's all it means JRC

[jrc750]

Like to know what in-progress actually means at Parris.

I guess it means they eventually made a start on the cue
