My 1st Homemade, Handmade cue

[Jonny]

Just checking up on this again and on the first page its pretty amazing what simple sanding can acheive

[Wimm]

Why aren't you playing with your cue untill 3 weeks after it's finished?

[totlxtc]

Just got to do the ferrule now and all done

[TreeeFitty]

Is this finished now? whats end result if so, how does it play etc?

Can i say by the way it looks amazing, wish i had the talent to do something like that

[crispian jones]

I dont know if anyone has sugested it yet but how about a TSF auction ?????
gotta be a fair few bidders for sure.

[Billy Ards]

Forum auctions dont survive in practice as sellers would rather pay ebay their percentage to get the far bigger audience and the buyers like the ebay/paypal promise of recompense should the sale go tits up.

Raffles work well though.

i think he made it for himself as a personal acheivement... :S

Back again..

Sorry one and all for being so long. Have been unwell and not done much since. Frankie got finished and is now put away as 1st made job. So decided to tackle a old tired cue. Checkside if your reading this you may recognise it

As i had not been doing anything to cues for a while i just took a chance to resplice, recondition and ferrule a old maple machine spliced cue. I have alot of wood now and had one piece of dark cocobolo that i could not use to match up. The cue used to have just a tip on no ferrule, the ebony was very dry and grey and the whole cue felt rough.

So here it is...








I will be taking up cues now as a real serious hobby. BUT! Mike if your reading, you come first.

Dont let keith see this! So when do dans totlxtc cues go on sale Nice job on the cue btw

[KeithinFrance]

Saw it well before it came on here, pal! Dan's right, though, it's very dark cocobolo, just a tad too dark for me. As for totlxtc cues, it's a very good idea as he does good work.

What about showing us finished pictures of Frankie, Dan? Just for closure, like.
