yeah those two are from scratch neil.

Really like the look of the blanks , fantastic that you are self taught as well .

well the girls like it when your 'in deep', you need to give her the burglar outfit with ski mask, works every time.. and your not to let that get in the way of your true passion bro. its all about the wood

I started doing this a couple of years ago in a notebook but I was told by my good lady that I was going a bit too far, she has to keep some of my behaviours in check, so I stopped.

She should really be stopping me now but she is out and I am in too deep already

I really like the look of those one pieces.
I'm warming to the idea of having a one piece, it reminds of playing pool with my dad back in the day

Nice Jas very impressed and on your own cue as well . How did you learn to do this ? Self taught ?

The other 2 you are working on ,are these from scratch . I.e blanks or donor cues ?

Which club are you playing at the moment ?

okay so iv put some cues through there paces
we'll go from left to right as we do:
the first cue is my playing cue and, it feel like its more responsive with a delay to rotations, this i think could be something to do with the nice piece of bubinga i used on the back. i felt the density of the wood gave a bit more ping to my club cue
the next two are my first cues that are yet to be spliced. so the next cue along is the second cue from page two on this thread with the wide grain, this cue for me is really nice because of the stiffness with some give towards the end of the shaft, the power and the 10mm deep ferrule felt like it added to the hit. cue three is very stiff and with the shudder of a vibe i'm sure its gonna be a player, liked it among the reds but its not my cup of tea, though i didn't miss much wit it. last cue it a converted ontario pool cue with a 8.5mm, great little cue 56.5" with a lot of power for a 16.5oz
