j6 cue stories

[j6uk]

but at some point you do use a scraper sand paper, though i try to limit that

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you get them round? If you use a plane will it not always be slightly ridgy even if just taking slivers off?

well thats the art of cue making in a nutshell.. with time, practice, and knowing your tools

In the first pic J, are any tapered as I can't see from the pic (eyesight!).

yes they are tapered, then the last two pics is an hr later with them down to 1mm over

as J6 has said they all start round anyway, so why extra to request one - answer is that they have to do a special email to their Thai supplier to NOT chamfer one of the cues from the batch they are waiting to ship out; £25 for the admin not actually for the work on the cue :biggrin: :wink:

Am arrow straight to the heart...........bullseye!

Great to see Jason showing pics of shaft preparation. No Thai badgers infesting his workshop.

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

no, they all start off round

Great looking shafts. Keep up the good work mate.

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.

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