It seems you're getting into a groove with it and getting a nice flow of wood to keep you going so you must be pretty much there with your process.

Good stuff

Looks pretty solid. Are you building a small collection of cues now from the ones you've made or partying with them as you go?

a bit of both shock, i dont want to force it and push cues into peoples hands. just building and showing what im doing, finding my way i guess. at the moment most of what im doing is working out very well so, im in a good place

yes it is with a 2oz lead bullet. its 17.25bp and 17.5oz
i combined the old and the new in terms of its taper. its 29/9.4mm, then 25mm at the top of its 19" splices, and 14mm 12" down from the tip so its a full body, and i think this adds to the vibe of the cue

Is the cue weighted J or using the ebony weight?

just finished this off, now time to take it to the table

im just doing what you see on the thread, the workshop, a few pics, then a vid of the cue in action on the table. if/when i badge them i think i will keep doing the same thing, just trying to make a quality cue every time by hand

Well either way J it must be a joy. I've been hoping you would do an ebony cue for a while and the one you used on the video looked nice.

As long as you can keep enjoying it then it's about what you want out of it, rarely do people find something they can make themselves and be good at it; I made an embarrassing bird box for some blue tits once. Before I knew what I'd done you could have fitted fitted a Labrador in it.

The first mistake was making it without a plan, the second mistake was letting my wife see it, she's dined out on that for a while........

If I ever get round to making a cue it will have a plan and if it doesn't work out i'll tell her I am making sticks for tomatoes.

Keep it up mate

Dibs on J6 001, the cue that is not one of his kids.

I guess badging cues means they're ready to go as a product? Big step and probably not an easy one to make if you enjoy making them and don't want the hassle from paying customers.

Hobby's are great and we can be passionate about them but I guess it the joy can be ruined when someone wants their pound of flesh.
