Lonergan Cues - Making a new shaft for broken pool cue

This cue came in for repair with a nasty break towards the tip end of the cue.
It was badly splintered and couldn't be saved. The customer decided to have a joint put into the cue and a new shaft made for it.
The grain is a good match to the original and is a top quality piece of ash.
Hope you enjoy the video!

Hello, good and creative work, but I did not understand what you mean by sand and grains.

Liked and watched with great interest despite the irritating "music".
How is the tapered workpiece held in the chuck?

[@DiaryOfACuemaker]

It's held using a tapered sleeve I made

Didn’t coring out the lead change how the cue felt. Not a criticism just interested 😊

[@DiaryOfACuemaker]

@lukepbriggs6225 With this repair there were massive changes to the cue, for a start it was 1 piece and had to be made into a jointed cue and also the shaft is brand new and not the original. Those things would have made a much bigger difference to how the cue felt than drilling through the lead.

@@DiaryOfACuemaker makes sense. I suppose adding the joint would put some heft back there too

sad to see such workmanship on a crispian jones. (the lead i mean.)
