[GeordieDS]

It's going to be a buzz and a half when you see someone playing well with a cue you made yourself

Love the broad grain

yes iv got quite few but im not really looking that far ahead, iv got the odd cue coming through but its the shaft that i will be exclusively focusing on over the summer and finding my own way to kina perfect its preperation. im happy because this is the first i feel i really got down form start to finnish, plus stumbling across some new ways of working

got a few hours in this afternoon an worked into one of the five. i got it down to the the straightest an most accurate octagon i could without distortion




believing that the cue wasnt gonna go anywhere i cut right into it and rounded it off to : 61/31.5/11.5/22bp/13.5oz

5 of the 6 done and the other move a bit so i left it alone. i will cut them down an round them off to over size in a few weeks

3 cuts and resting, this ain't no cheap Thai or Chinese cue, this is an M&S cue!

first one of the six down to the octagon, dims: 61/34/14

[j6uk]

it depends this is the third cut, but i dont think there going anywhere so i'll go straight into the octagon this week.. these are the 6 of 12 i cut from the same log and from the other 6 only a few moved, even then i got them back. those others should be ready for their final shaping within a few weeks
