New Shaft, New Joint, New Cue?

In this video I make a new ash shaft for an Andy Gibbs snooker cue, with the aim of getting as close a grain match as possible to the original. During the job I also uncover an issue with the existing joint, which means a little more work than originally planned before everything can be fitted correctly. A fairly typical example of cue making and repair work — sometimes the job you start with isn’t quite the job you finish with. Handmade in Wales by Lonergan Cues.
