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

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

The rosewood has come up a treat on that cue J.

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 mate, let me know if any come up. I can buy a job lot no bother.

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

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!

no badge, thats how it came. unusually slim, could be from the 60s or earlier. smelt like it was in a cellar for a few decades

Where's the original badge J? Do you know what cue this used to be? Are there chevrons on the under side? Hmmmm

Can't see from the pics, just wondering how you got the extra 1/2 inch? Did you just add the ebony front splice or have you added more, original cue pics shiny so wasn't sure?

Did you use the threaded steel weight?

cue-rescue

still needs some finishing touches but this is almost ready to get back onto the table as what looks to be many a year.. a few before and after shots

well when i cracked it open i found an off set 3.5oz lead bolt and it was quite close to the back, so when i was splicing i found the best place for the weight a few inches more forwards. and its now 3.5 steel. i also took it from 57.5 to just over 58. nice textured bit of english ash with a nice stiff vibe

That's a neat job Jason.

What did you stick up it's butt (excuse my French)?

Just a dowel or a weight as well?
