Hi All,
Looking at Tom's post in the lathe section about making a snooker cue led me to thinking about the cost of hand made wooden items'
The snooker cue for the amount of timber used can be very expensive. Top cues cost £500 plus, they are finished by hand planing, take about a year to make and normally come from a piece of ash about 1 1/4 square by roughly 5 ft long and a scrap of ebony.
What other pieces of timber can you think of that come into this bracket?
