How do you build a pool cue shaft?

Answer 1

The simplest pool cue shafts are simply turned on a lathe following a template to produce the 13 mm or 14 mm tip, followed by the taper, and then to the mating surface to the butt. The proper mating insert is selected and the shaft is drilled and it is inserted. The tip is applied, the tip properly turned and shaped, and the shaft is complete. In most cases, the shaft is finished with the butt however.
