cue reconstruction


i took all the lumps and bumps out of this vintage power glide and got it on the table, specs were 58.25/9.7/30.5/15.5bp/16oz.
after a few shots i thought the shaft was decent but the cues response was held back by it being too back heavy.
i believe i can help to make it play much better, so decided to operate and take it under the blade..

But a nice badge would really finish it off.

That would be nice indeed .

Makes no diff to playability of the cue though !!

It's kind of signature from the cue maker !!

I'm waiting to view some Maple wood bcuz that's what snooker is about ( for Maple lovers Community , of cours ) !!

im making two of my stiffest and heaviest shafts that can get to the weight comfortably. the last cue i dont think will be in play as it wont make the weight and flex that i think hes after.
will have the next one spliced later today..

[matthias]

very nice! splice work doesn't get much better than that I think.

are you making several cues for the "mystery pro " so he can pick the one he likes best?

looking forward to the review

[Ramon]

looks great , as usual !! :snooker:

[Shockerz]

Nice splices J, very even and crisp.

Obviously your set up is starting to pay dividends.

cheers stevie

That's a good sign happy to hear you are pleased with the results of your labour. I heard recently that machine splice cues are becoming rare because it's just as easy now to turn out the hand spliced look on the machine! This probably means new craftsman like you will become fewer, that's sad. However, your time is now no one can take that from you. The pictures of the cue look mint! Thanks for sharing!

crafty i feel im getting closer to where i wanna be, in the way i work and the results, with each cue i make. and the quality of the pics is thanks to an old ipad handed down from big sis so, things are felling into place nicely.
