j6 cue stories

[j6uk]

It is nice to work with, if the results are a little plain but if you want a lovely all over consistent brown, it produces very nice results; cabinet making. Rosewood is lovely as well. Mahogany plains quite easily.

like it, cheers man. it so happens iv got a rose/blood wood cue coming through so id appreciate your input mid next week

i do everything by hand but im also creating a taper jig. heres a piece of that jigsaw

Did you ever finish that taper jig?

Looks like a real puzzle and would be nice to see it in action.....

Apologies if this has been mentioned already but have you made or have any plans to make cues with a bigger butt?

yes i did get this gig going but struggled to find the right cutting blade for the taper so i desenbled the gig. i then moved the workshop around an carried on doing evrything by hand, then a few orders in an its been in the corner ever since. i will get it going again now i have a longer bench, an put some pics up

Apologies if this has been mentioned already but have you made or have any plans to make cues with a bigger butt?

yeah i do plan on getting some to around 30-30.5. though generaly i am finding people liking butts around 29.
i converted an american pool racker cue last week an took that down from 31.5 to 29mm, an the players are loving it

[j6uk]

and this is the pool cue thats been getting a bit of attention. converted racker, splice exrended, reweighted, hand planed an with a 4mm shallow black break ferrule. for me its got all the shots 58.5/12.25/29/17.5oz/17bp

[GeordieDS]

Good news then as I've decided my next cue is definitely going to have a bigger butt
You've done a good job on that cue as it now looks to good to be wasted on Pool

cheers jono, but iv sold a few fully hand cut cues on this thread for less than one of those drum sanded shafts.
i could see it though if your selling cues for 300+. even then, if your in that position then youd likely be buying them straight from the source x10 for the same price
