would love to see what you are working on.I am trying to use an old cue which I chopped up and used the part where both wood blend together as the blank. I can take pics. of the blank if you are interested in seeing it.
I have made quite a few,i posted them in the past but now it says i have no photos,i liked the el grande ones the best,xl are also good,im making some more soon,ill post pics,when you look at a pool cue with full splice,bar cue,look at the points,if some are higher than others then they dont look as nice when finished,old dufferin cues make the best,you also have to get the hole centered rightI am trying to find a kit that allows you to turn a pen that looks like a cue stick.

What is the brand name on hese old pool cues,some are worth some money to be restored thansHere is one from some time back. The kit is a basic 7mm and the pool cue was very old. I've always thought that it is a little too thick in the middle. Some of the newer low end pool ques are just stained two colors, but this was two separate types of wood. The light wood was maple and the dark was wenge. Out of the entire pool que there was only this one spot where the two types of wood came together. It looks like the maple is way underturned at the nib, I don't remember it looking quite that bad. The old wenge made wenge on the butt end made some nice pens. I've got a couple more of these cues and I'd like to find something better to do with them.

I just asked because some old titlests are worth a lot of money,so are some other old cuesBrand name? Are you sersious? It is old, old old. The pool cue that I made a pen from was a house cue from a Moose Lodge in Indiana that was in existance since before 1900. I don't know if the pool table was there that long, but in the late 1940s the lodge updated their bar room and table, pool balls, rack and some other equipment were sold. My family has bought the old equipment and have owned them since then. The cue I made into a pen was broken when the equipment was purchased in the 1940s. I do have another original cue and I think it would be better restored than cut into pen blanks. The current owners of the table are very happy to have pens from the cue that was purchased broken in about 1948. There is a remant of a brand label on the cue I still have, about 75% of it is scratched off.
