Thoughts on reputable makers still using Ivory. I love the hit, and am in the market for another custom.

Another option , if no one will make you an ivory jointed cue is to find a 1920s 30s old Brunswick cue with an existing ivory joint and have that oversized cue butt turned down , custom designed with ringwork and inlays and wrap as your desire and have a joint pin added to the butt to accept your new shafts.
I own a 20s beautiful Rosewood oversized butt cue with an ivory joint that I am considering having this done - or I may sell it to someone with those desires.

Back up with a reduced price of $400 shipped. Brian.

They play somewhere between a GV IV and a Diamond.

Is Brunswick still part of the billiard community? I get that they make tables, but you just don’t hear anything about them anymore. I don’t see them sponsoring any pool events or pool players like they used to. I don’t see any of their tables in any pools rooms other than older ones from decades ago.

Do you like the ivory hit as it concerns the ferrules, the joint, or both? Also, if it is the joint - do you prefer a sleeved ivory joint or a solid ivory joint? If a sleeved ivory joint would you want ivory sleeved over stainless steel or wood?
When you find an ivory using cue maker he will need these questions answered.

A bit forward.

Mine is 19.75"

No idea why.
