Other than the lack of resting time, does the change in the wood affect how easy/hard it is to work?

[@CuemakersGuild]

Thank you for your question, Yes, after a proper Torrefication process the wood becomes much harder and is a little more difficult to work with, but not that bad.

Love your content a lot! It would help us better understanding you, if you record your voice with an headphone microphone. Best Sebastian

Thank you very much for all the information! It's important that someone with knowledge shares information because there are a lot of opinions out there being sold as truth. Now my question: shaft length... how does it affect playability, stability, balance, deflection and production? Would you recommend a longer shaft or a small extension? Greetings from Germany Pascal

[@CuemakersGuild]

Thank you for your comment and question. The overall length of a shaft does not directly affect its playability due to the progressing taper profiles. It is the same profile overall simply magnified by length. I would recommend a longer shaft over an extension when possible.

[@charlesaston9892]

I've been making torfied shafts since Jeff Prather started his KIELWOOD. which is his product. Which I highly recomend.

Love my Hsunami 2.0 kielwood shaft. Plays great and looks awesome.

[@CuemakersGuild]

Glad to hear it!

[@MikeWilson-fb6qv-mesa]

Thanks for the info Chris. What is a difference between a $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 cue besides inlays, stains wrap and engravings?

[@rodricjohnson5950]

Nothing

[@CuemakersGuild]

That is a broad question, but to provide the short answer, as you stated, you have to factor in the overall material costs. You also have to include the time that it takes to produce said cue, how sharp the inlays are, the popularity of the brand and or maker, and take into consideration that custom cues are produced one at a time not in a production environment. There are many reason that a specific cue could cost upwards of 5,000 to even 100,000 dollars.

How do you feel that it compares to a laminated maple shaft. ie predator 314 shaft or similar.

[@CuemakersGuild]

Thank you for your question, I feel that a keilwood shaft is better for the reasons mentioned in the live stream,although, A laminated shaft will produce better radial consistency.

[@charlesaston9892]

IF you know what you're DOING and PROPERLY build a KIELWOOD SHAFT it can be as radical consistent as these laminated shafts now on the market BUT you have to start with a very good piece of KIELWOOD and Prather sells it

[@andyschlosser6715]

I assume the shaft color varies based on the temp time it baked? What I mean is I seen some light one and some dark one.

[@CuemakersGuild]

This is correct, it will become darker and more "rich" in color the longer it is in the torrification process.

[@andyschlosser6715]

@@CuemakersGuild Any advantages or disadvantage of longer torrification process?

[@CuemakersGuild]

@andyschlosser6715 one the torrification process is conpleteted, the only difference is how dark it becomes

[@revlucjl]

what would be the pro's or cons of having a keilwood butt, handle and forearm?

[@CuemakersGuild]

Cored or not cored?

Thank you very much!

[@VICTORHERNANDEZist]

Hello, if a Keilwood shaft gets slightly dented, can it be fixed?

[@CuemakersGuild]

Possibly with moisture

[@MikeWilson-fb6qv-mesa]

Do cue makers label their cues that are Terrified Roasted Maple? I just see them say hard rock maple shafts.

[@CuemakersGuild]

I think you mean Torrefied, but yes, typically a cuemaker with state that the shaft is torrefied.

[@odenwalt]

Thanks!

[@CuemakersGuild]

Thank you for the donation!

[@VICTORHERNANDEZist]

Hello, what would be the price difference between each type of wood shaft. Thank you.

[@CuemakersGuild]

I could not begin to answer this one as prices can be very different between manufacturers.

[@VICTORHERNANDEZist]

Thank you.

[@MrAndydavis78]

Do you have a website with your company details and ordering information? The more I watch the more I'm interested and would absolutely consider a custom cue.

[@JohnBowl14690]

Custom is the way to go. The exact weight, shaft diameter, taper, etc that you want.

[@CuemakersGuild]

Hi, I have no need for a dedicated website due to the fact that I no longer take custom orders however, You can follow my work on my Facebook page here: facebook.com/christopher.walker.54584982

[@JohnBowl14690]

@@CuemakersGuild - Thanks for the link. Good stuff on there. I love the post about the Predator broken cue being overpriced junk. Although I don't own one, I've played with a couple. They're ok in my opinion, but certainly not the best constructed cue on the market. They probably just pay Josh Filler the most money and people swallow it up, since he happens to be the best player on the planet.

[@randallgibson8619]

I’ve tried several of the better kielwood shafts and just couldn’t stand the feedback they give. It almost feels like hitting the cue with a piece of metal. It feels super stiff to me .

[@CuemakersGuild]

Yes, they are stiffer than normal maple and some may not like that.

[@JohnBowl14690]

Kiel is about the only thing I haven't tried yet. However, I seriously doubt that there will be anything that will revolutionize cue making other than cheating (laser or intelligent feedback) aiming.

[@CuemakersGuild]

@@JohnBowl14690 Agreed
