Thanks much jrc. Now i know a little bit more about cues....

A long time ago i had a rattling weight in one of my cues, Dan Shelton managed to get the old ugly weight out and do a nice repair job on it, he said the cue (which was a typical 57 1/2" one piece cue) only weighed 15 1/2 oz i think it was, so a fair bit of weight needed to be added

did he drill it out or cut the cue?

He just took out the old butt joint, (which i didn't want replacing) somehow got the old weight out and possibly drilled further into the butt, he didn't cut the cue no

cue specs were:
58
9.5
29
15.5
17.5bp



this cue looked great but it came up very light with the odd defect as i worked into the splicings to get them even.
im sure someone out there would have liked the cue but for me and my estimations i wasn't prepared to take it back to the jig and rework it, so there was only one thing for it so i could move on

completed this one yesterday
