j6 cue stories

[Big Splash!]

I'm always sketchy bout old machine splicers; they're not always well mated and after time, you can see between the butt and shaft. Not all mind, some. Ok, someone is bound to say we can get separation of butt and shaft on a hand made cue over time as well but obviously, fixing this is much easier.

Your cues are really looking cool. Looks like you're cue making is moving on from Great to Awesome.

I like the way the ebony outlines the big splices, sets them off a treat. Second pic down shows it off well.

Yes I said that to myself before I read your comment.
It kinda looks manufactured if you know what I mean but when you realise its not it makes it even more impressive.
( Does that even make sense ? )

New front splice is an improvement, too much purple for me to begin with and it's me fave colour too. Pattern more balanced now.

Interesting arrangement at the end of the cue mate what with the dowel and the butt extension.

yeah im quite excited about those two vintage cues. the purple heart splicing has an od shaft an i took it up from 58.5 to 59, and the other an old machine spliced ebony and maple. taken that from 57 to 58, re-taped, new ferrle,dents and lumps out, should be a looker and a player

You can't beat some ebony with 8 layers of varnish! Boring yet glossy. lol

Nah....classy and glossy!
