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.

Honest cues!

Any pics of planing the splices j6uk? I've tried to make a couple of cues from ash blanks and struggle lining up the splice points. Yours all look really great, you seem to have got it down to a fine art!

here you go, a few rough pics of the next few coming through

Ah oui jsix, I feel your subtle moves. An Autumn child of the 70s? Browns, reds, a little bright here and there but not a lot? A time you yearn, when Rosewood is very popular?

Problem - now is a time of contrast again, ze pink mirrors and roof on ze car wiv ze black mini body. If not contrast, then just unitary colour allover. Nothing in between.

This translates into the love of black on cues, or simple marbled ebony, or a ton of snake against ash, or black with many bright or luminous veneers ala Parris cue maker. It is the taste of today, contrast, less complimentary palette; look at me, look at me! You know, this i generation.

So you fly in the face of gaudy (I don't mean plain black). C'est la vie.

But black (or strong brown) is classic. It says utility and simple, timeless taste.

Do you like mahogany?
