    Nice to see you're still spending a decent bit of time in the workshop mate.

    It’s a great tool in many ways, and in this case the prep work for fine planing.. but I understand why there not used, as not much is done by hand.
    I always remind myself, ‘I can have it done before any machines or jig has been setup.

    Great work. I have a queation. By how many mil should the cue reduce to make it lighter by an ounce? Just a rough estimate will do.

    I had a client send me this so as to retaper and refinish, to the same taper and feel as to his friends cue who recently started using a cue I made.
    Took roughly 0.5oz of wood out of the center to lower part of the cue, and I finished it by hand, fine planing out any rollsanding bumps and flats.
    Didn’t notice too much of a difference playing with the cue before and after the work as the cue was very stiff but felt better moving through the hands on and around the table..

    Would like to see a video of you using that 61 inch one piece, at six foot four I reckon it will suit you perfectly. BTW, the 3/4, have you finally gotten yourself a lathe for joint work ?

    The badge just looks absolute class as well, it really does give the cues a very high end look. I can see you becoming very sought after turning out quality like this, it will be well deserved business mate as you have worked hard at your craft to get to this standard. All the best.

    Getting out and about, wordofmouth, playing and reputation, whatever one calls it.. I tend to do small bursts of work throughout the year, that way I can focus 110 and produce what that player wants.
