j6 cue stories

[j6uk]

iv done a few re-splices, and ts not fun. id rather make another cue from scratch that go over other peoples work.time wasted cutting out lumps bumps that others aint bothered with, could almost cut a knew shaft in the same time

I always wondered the same type of thing, is it possible if you have a one piece cue say in full spliced rosewood, can you get that respliced to full ebony, or is that not possible?

Just plane the splices off and replace with ebony.

I guess the main risk here would be to tear the wood down as everything is glued together, right?

yeah from what you describe its just easier to resplice, then your bypassing creating another problem

i have prized off a front splice and replaced it, but a bit risky trying to do it on a full-splice. all depends on the cue and its issue

[Erwan_BZH]

No, not at all, was more of a general question. Was curious of how you proceed, technically, when replacing a splice. I though you were removing it completly.

[j6uk]

generally i would just re-splice. you got a pic of a problem?

[Erwan_BZH]

Hey Jason, I have always wondered how you manage to "unsplice" a cue, eg when you need to replace it because it is to short or because splices are worn out? How dod you do not to damage the cue? Could you film that operation one day?
Cheers!

And keep up the good work, the quality of your cues is really impressive !

havent worked much with maple but the last few iv come across have been stiff.

[itsnoteasy]

Do you find the maple shafts end up generally stiffer than the average ash shaft J?

[j6uk]

it has 21 inch splices

its weighted with pure wood

Great job bud. That cue is going to have a lovely woody feel to it. My Purist is the same BP, though 0.3 ounce lighter. How much ebony did you have to put on to get that weight up; does it go half way up the cue?!

[j6uk]

[Big Splash!]

yes there is interest in this cue, and at the moment its 58.5/9.75/29.25/18.5bp/17.3oz, and stiff

Nice BP. Are you bearthing the weight higher up under the longer splices?
