j6 cues

[j6uk]

Do you mean stiff?

not really, its not overly stiff but its the toughest tree in the jungle that iv ever come across

[travisbickle]

he didnt say and i didnt ask. i had a few shots with his cue and checked the resonance. then as i was measuring it and taking notes he was saying what he liked/ didnt like, as well as the kind of cue he feels he needs.
but i know what snooker payers are like so im under no illusions that this will be his future playing cue, though im quietly confident in the cue itself cus i know from wrestling with it that this ash is king kongs choice.

anyway time will tell..

Top 4 look to be happy with their cues I would say.
Is it Hawkins

Or perhaps it's a pool player maybe

Lol miss read it.
Top tour player and not a top four player :biggrin-new::biggrin-new::biggrin-new:

[j6uk]

not sure about the badge yet, but if it ticks all the boxes i will reveal the player on the cue review.

pro cue prep work


finished off the final details of my first made to measure cue for a top tour player, will start splicing tomorrow.

[j6uk]

heres an example of the fine work done after leaving the taper jig, the one on the right has gone down from 2mm oversize like the shaft on the left to just under 0.5mm oversized. this is now ready for splicing.

very close combination shock



prepping a couple of maple shafts next week. black ebony white maple will be the first on the menu.

Great , Cheers for info .
I'll keep an eye on this thread as usual !!

[j6uk]

Are you selling any one piece cues yet, J?..

should start splicing the next one piece within the next two weeks.

[j6uk]

That's an interesting mix of materials J.

Ply for the sides, aluminium runners, plastic to stop the sawdust and biscuits to save you going back in doors!

It's always great enjoy to follow this thread .

hopefully I ( as an maple lover ) also get the chance to view more maple wood in future . :snooker:

Do these all become cues, or can they still hit the bin from now?

there are two from the above pic that still might not make splicing, but generally most shafts should make it at this stage.

[jonny66]

thanks lads, and not long till the next revew..

until then heres a few shafts i cut out from my new jg. at this stage i got them flat free from the jig which makes finishing far less stressful. theyre all 2mm over sized, and soon ready for fine planing and sanding before splicing.

I don't generally bother posting "nice cue" on here, you can take it as read from now on, I haven't seen a bad one from you yet.
