This is a wonderful item to add to any large floor type lathe. It insures complete accuracy and holds work pieces accurately centered in the lathe. This is an item that no serious cue builder should be without. In fact, we use this very chuck on most of our large lathes. It insures total accuracy and is great as it steadies and holds long work pieces perfectly centered. It has a large 1 3/8" bore which is more than adequate enough for working on most any cue. The chuck comes machined with inside threads (1 9/16-32) but you will have to machine a coupler which is simple enough to make for those of you who own large lathes.

At Cue Components, we hand-select woods that make a statement before the cue ever hits the table. Our Cocobolo & Birdseye Maple 4-Prong Full Spliced Butt Blank is built for makers who want bold color, natural figure, and uncompromising performance.

Cocobolo is one of the most sought-after rosewoods in cue building — known for its fiery mix of deep reds, burnt orange, dark brown, and black streaking. Each piece carries dramatic contrast and natural movement, making every blank truly one of a kind. Dense, heavy, and naturally oily, Cocobolo offers exceptional durability and long-term stability in full splice construction, contributing to a solid, powerful feel.

Paired with premium Birdseye Maple, the contrast becomes even more striking. The bright maple base, filled with tight grain and signature eye figuring, adds depth and dimension under finish. Birdseye Maple remains a staple in high-end cue building for its strength, consistency, and clean playing characteristics.

The traditional 4-prong full splice design not only reinforces structural integrity from end to end but also highlights the bold Cocobolo points against the lively Birdseye Maple — a classic combination with unmistakable presence.

This blank isn’t just material — it’s the beginning of a cue that demands attention.

Made of Birdseye Maple with 4 points of Cocobolo. They are oversized (approximately .900/950 at the joint -- 1.350 -1.400 at the butt). The points are uniform within close tolerances. You will not be disappointed.

Some woods just feel different the moment you put them on the lathe — and East Indian Rosewood is one of them.

This East Indian Rosewood & Maple 4-Prong Full Spliced Butt Blank combines rare, beautifully aged rosewood with premium hard rock maple in a full splice. Known for its deep chocolate tones, subtle purple undertones, and tight, elegant grain, East Indian Rosewood has become increasingly difficult to source in high quality — making blanks like this harder to find and more valuable with time.

Beyond the beauty, this wood brings density, stability, and a naturally solid hit that serious cue builders appreciate. The full splice construction runs the prongs deep into the maple core, creating superior structural strength, balance, and that classic, responsive feel that only a true splice can deliver.

What makes this blank special:

• Rare, hard-to-source East Indian Rosewood

• Rich natural color with unique grain character
  

• Premium maple core for stability and consistency

If you’re building cues that are meant to last and stand apart, this is the kind of wood that elevates the entire project. Rare material. Traditional construction. Built for makers who understand the difference.
