Thanks very much, that looks gorgeous better than i hoped and its not finished yet.

I could not be happier

Thanks again Jason

heres a few pics of where im at with the shaft. it would be interesting to hear what others think, but i really like it as it is with no blackening of the grain just sealed an a smooth finish.
anyway will see how tom feels. this should be ready to go tomorrow..

Last update, cue is ordered and spec confirmed. It will be for english pool so it will have a 8.5mm tip and 57" length.
Jason will be posting a video of the cue once the adjustments have been made. Great service, one very happy customer.

P. S Im sure either Jason or me will post some pics when the cue is done!

Hi Guys
Im really pleased to say i have ordered a cue from Jason, iv been really impressed with his work from this thread as im sure loads of us have! It is a converted old cue, the one at the top of page 44, gorgeous colouring to the shaft and its a little different with the longer splicings. Iv sent Jason my specs and i could not be happier with the service. Thanks again
Tom

for left to right is the next butterfly cue an im gonna try an get it to 58.25/10/29/17bp/17.5oz. the next is my pool clue convertion. then theres four shafts being prepared with two being pool cues commissions

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

These might be of interest...

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

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

Did you ever finish that taper jig?

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

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
