THE CUE BUILDING
BOOK
From Tree, To Tip, To Trade Show!
By: Chris Hightower
($69.95)

Over 260 pages! BRAND NEW THIRD EDITION!
This is the most extensive book on cue building written to date. As
the title suggests, it takes you through the complete cue building process from
the sawmill, to the finished cue, to marketing your cues. It covers many things
that the videos don’t. However, it is said that a picture is worth a thousand
words. It covers doing work on wood lathes, metal lathes, and of course, cue
lathes. It shows the table saw tapering machine, how to build your own spray
booth, kiln, wood stabilizer dipping tank, collets, linen presses, inlay patterns
and much more. It shows how to put on the finish with and without spraying,
Irish linen and leather wraps, V-groove and butterfly points, inlays and much
more.
There is an "Advice from the Masters" chapter that gives advice to
beginners from some of America’s most well known cue makers who have been
building cues for decades. There is also a brief history on cue building in
the USA. There is a suppliers list showing where to buy almost everything you
need to build cues from shaft wood, to exotic woods and veneers, cue parts,
manual and CNC machinery and small tooling. The book has nearly two hundred
drawings, showing how to do the various operations and how to make the special
jigs.
It is a wealth of information contained in a format that is easy to read and
refer back to. There is a section for your own notes in the back. Every beginner
to intermediate cue maker should have this book and the advanced cue maker might
still pick up some little tricks.
