j6 cue stories

still some fine work to be done otherwise these two are pretty much ready for the table..
top cue is a two tone babinga purple heart with white ash, bottom is wenge and vintage olive colored ash.

Olive and Wenge looking very nice, hopefully plays as good as it looks.

The older ash looks much nicer in terms of color. Is that down to it being oiled over the years and if so what type of oil is used Jason?

The wenge looks nice, it's one of the nicest non ebony based cues I've seen.

this is one of a small bunch of shafts that i got from a closed club. all the cues were one piece ash with heavy lacquer so they were well preserved. then after retapering and sanding this cue i used clear linseed and this was the result, a nice olive color
yes nice straight grain wenge looks and feels excellent

[Shockerz]

I love the butt at this stage prior to oiling and then it just comes to life.

It's gonna look great I think!

spliced my first one of three english pool cues, wenge, double olive and one wenge veneers, on a vintage shaft

[Despearce]

this was taken from an an old boys shed, he said it'd been laying there ever since and that it was russia. 'you can have it if you want it' he said, couldnt get the planks under my arm fast enough.

Yep I can imagine how it went in your head "Ok, pick the planks up and find the door before he changes his mind" well that's how it would have been in my head
