Cue Joint (Aug 2021)

A friend asked if I would convert thier Bar Billiards cue into a 2 piece for easier transport when traveling abroad.

It's always a little nerve racking cutting someone pride an joy in half.

All the joints in my cues and ones I convert are made by myself to my own design. They are also all threaded into the shafts unlike many others that are a push fit and more likely to come lose.

The downside of threading into the shaft is to get the grain to line up when screwed together takes a little more time to achieve.

Before and After

No going back now. Boring out and threading ready for joint

A rough sketch of the joint. These are one off's made to suit the cue in hand.

The grain nicely lining up when screwed together
