Is your room too small for your table?
Here's one solution using shop leftovers.
--------------------------------------------------
A customer had an antique ivory cueball that had a few dings in it.
He couldn't play pool with it & the missing chunk made for a less than
stellar knick-knack. What was he to do? He decided to use it
for the handle on a cane!
He asked if I could make a body for his cane, giving him a total height
of 35". I eagerly accepted the job, forgetting that my machines
couldn't handle that length. That meant a 2 piece cane (plus the
handle). One thing led to another and I ended up making a playable
pool cue from a less than stellar full splice blank. The addition
of a short extension solved the length problem & gave me a an
opportunity to add some bling. You can see the results below:
These are the components used in the cane.
This shows how the phenolic threads engage the ivory cue ball.
It's hard to see the details but the diamond inlays in the points of the
cue are exactly the same size as the diamonds on the engraved pattern.
Once the cue ball is securely mounted, the extension can be screwed onto
the butt just like a shaft.
The butt itself can be used with any 3/8-10 shaft, though it is a bit on
the light side.
The machining of the pattern on the extension can be seen
HERE.

I'm also making these carbon fiber extensions. They can be any
length you want and they can be make "stackable". The light weight
is an added bonus! These will fit the majority of my cues by
simply swapping the weight bolt out for the aluminum extension bumper.
If you have a fairly heavy weight bolt, you might have to compensate for
the lighter, aluminum bumper bolt.
