Another jump cue.

Handle is Tasmanian Blackwood (which is not black by the way!)

Rings are maple/ebony with white fibre each side.

Collars on the shaft and butt are black Tomahawk, butt cap is Phenolic.

Pin is Uniloc Quick Release Aluminium to cut down on weight.

Shaft has a one piece phenolic ferrule/tip.

This is a jump cue.

Pin is Uniloc Quick Release.

Core is Tasmanian Oak and the main handle is Merbau.

The ring is maple/ebony sandwiched between white fibre and brass.

Ferrules and joint collar are black Tomahawk.

Weight is 235 g (8.3oz).

I managed to get hold of a really nice piece of Robinia. This is an imported timber with lots of nice grain and character and was used on the forearm.

Handle section is Merbau and the butt cap and joint ferrules are made from Tomahawk.

Rings are Tomahawk, brass, and turquoise reconstituted stone.

Joint pin is Uni-Loc Quick Release.

Shaft is AA+ Canadian Rock Maple, counterbored to reduce deflection, rings to match butt. Ferrule is Tomahawk, and the tip is an Ultraskin medium 12.65mm.

Construction will be similar to #1, but thicker shaft with no hollow forward section, stronger ferrule, and phenolic tip. 

Forearm is Victorian Mountain Ash, and the handle is Merbau, both Australian hardwoods. Core is Canadian Rock Maple.

I will also try and keep the weight down to allow maximum acceleration.

I have always wanted to take a shot at making a cue, and this was my first. It is a break cue.

The timber for the butt core and the shaft were imported, while I used locally sourced timbers for the handle and forearm.

Handle is Mountain ash, and the forearm is Mahogony. These were glued to the core with West System epoxy.

Butt sleeve and joint collars are made of Tomahawk. I added some brass rings to dress it up.

Ferrule is capped Juma.

Pin is Uni-loc quick release.
