Wood

We are offering the finest and most populate size dyed sycamore available in 1.350" X 11.5" X .6mm thick. These veneers strips are high quality and very consistent. You can purchase veneers strips for less but compare quality with price. Our dyed sycamore is about twice the cost of lower grade dyed poplar veneers. The colors are vibrant, consistent and have withstood the test of time. We offer 11 different colors: black, burgundy, dark blue, green, light blue, natural, orange, purple, red and yellow.

For your edification, the .6mm are .75 each. The .6mm are great for any application especially when doing 4, 5, 6, or 8 points and if you want 3, 4 or even 5 veneer colors.

We no longer carry the .9mm veneers as they are no longer popular since most cue makers and buyers are trending towards finer and more detailed craftsmanship.

Our inventory is deep, where you'll always get well aged shafts that were turned months ago. You'll never get shafts from us that were turned last week. Our inventory is extremely deep and aged so we can immediately supply shafts in virtually any quantity. Our shaft wood is your shaft wood. We turn them incrementally with a minimum of 45 days between passes. We can do it that way because of the depth of our shaft wood inventory.

There is no one in this business that can provide the quality, quantity and aged wood as we do. Some may say that they are selling aged wood but look at their inventories and that will tell you the tale. We have thousands and thousands hanging around and are more than happy to show you pictures of them. We can draw from that inventory.

And most importantly.... All Shaft wood is available for immediate delivery. We have sufficient back-stock to fill all orders in any quantity range. There is never a 2, 3 or 4 week delay; ever! If there is a delay, you're getting freshly turned shafts.

We supply shafts in 30" lengths which is sufficient to make any shaft for 99.999% of pool players. Most want a standard shaft at 29" and very few want longer shafts on their cues. You'll get an occasional order for a 29.5" and seldom a 30" but these are sufficient to cover any needs. Working with longer shafts will throw off your taper or you'll have to adjust the taper when you cut off the additional length. Working as close to final is always easier and less complicated. We like uncomplicated.

Whether you order 1, 100 or 500 we can ship today!

Straight grain! If you want to see the definition of straight grain, please click on the above picture. These boards which were just jointed, will allow you to see the straight grain pattern. It doesn't get any better than these boards!

We bring in the finest hard maple available, directly from Northern Michigan. Only years of strong relationships can afford us the opportunity to offer out such quality. We bring these pieces in by the pallets several times a year and pass the savings but most importantly - the quality on to you.

Grading is subjective and varies with each persons definitions. We endeavour to grade conservatively and accurately.

Grading Scale

Grade Pro-Growth

These are the best of the best. These are all high growth ring concentration, white and perfectly straight-grained. Just take a close look at the two photo's.This is genuine old-growth maple that rarely come up for sale these days. We've latched on to a supplier and that's all we're getting. Don't bother looking for these from anyone else as they are virtually nonexistent except through us.

We will guarantee 18+ rings to the inch and they are being sold as 1" X 30" rounds. They are all straight and tight-grained. These will weigh in at well over 4oz when tapered down to a final shaft. These are dense and produce a very distinctive 'hit'. You cannot purchase better shaft wood

Grade AAA Superb: These are absolutely Superb shafts with an incredible number of growth rings. These will average 12 - 18+ rings per inch with many in the 18+ rings per inch. These are seldomly seen this nice. In fact, these are like having naturally laminated shafts.

Grade AAA: These are straight, white, may contain a slight amount of sugar but these are usually clear, no grain run-off and a beautiful straight spine. These average about 6 -12 or more growth rings per inch. These are strictly for high end cues or low end cues with great shafts.

Grade AA: These are straight, white and a tiny amount of sugar may show (very slight), may have slight grain run-off. These average 6 -12 or more growth rings per inch. Excellent for middle range cues -- excellent value

Grade A: These are straight, white and/or may be slightly off white, small amounts of sugar may show, slight grain run off and may show a slight wiggle in the grain. These average 6-12 or more growth rings per inch. Great for lower end cues and sneaky petes. These are really nice dowels and will make very nice shafts.

18″ Round Maple Handles 1.375″ Diameter

These are great for under wraps.

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.

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.
