Yes I only had 1 block of ebony 20” long 40x40mm thick. I cut it into 4 wedges with my jigsaw. The shaft is from a long tail shovel. I finished it with maple and walnut splices then a bit boxwood burr.

My cue.
This is my cue. It’s 57.5 long, 9.7mm tip, 19oz, 32mm but. It’s my first attempt at cue making. I left the butt end and main shaft thicker with a sharper taper towards the tip end. I had planned to play with it every week and sand it down more each week until it felt right. Turns out the first time I used it I loved it. It doesn’t look the best but it suits my game.

Cue4. Ton Praram Series 2. Superb cue. Bang on the specs I asked for. Single splice of Macasser Ebony.
Cue5. Robert Osborne Red Plate. Was lucky enough to purchase this direct from Robert in February. Superb cue as you would expect. Shaft “looks” not as good as Praram or C-Brand. Few blemishes but nothing that effects playability.
After much deliberating have decided that the Osborne will be my playing cue. No more buying cues looking for “The One”.
