    Impressive work J6, clean job and good work on the butt as well. Just aquestion re tip size please, any reason why you're not so keen on 9.5 mm ? and what advantage do you feel you've gained going down to 9mm. Good luck with the cues by the way

    well it was in the ash rack and it looked like ash from what i could see, the rest is yellowish with pink and white. its very straight, close, dry, has an odor to it. yeah it does look good i must say
    i dont see it moving much so i think i'll start working it if its the same this time next month

    Stupid question, but are you sure that is Ash, never seen it that dark before?

    this shaft feels and smells quite special. a rich aroma coming from the surface that if never come across before with very close grain. its quite brown in color and i believe its cut closer to the core of the tree
