Gday Lathe workers!
Got told to try here instead of general woodworking thread :D
About to start work on a pool cue, specifically a 9-ball cue. Dont know where to start and need some help before I botch my timber :p
I have 2" square blanks of Ebony and Purpleheart that I need to splice together if anyone knows a technique or website/books where I can find the answer.
I have Ivory i need to inlay into the timber above and am unsure as to how I go about that. was thinking it must be done after turning maybe but unsure.
I also know nothing about the fittings joints and whatnot just what I want the end product to look like ha!
Reading through this website I noticed so many skillfull craftsmen and was hoping I might find someone to help me here :)
Thanks in advance for any information I recieve
