Out of curiosity, why don’t you just use longer dowels for your blanks if you want the points up higher? I suppose it might be the amount of time if you are doing a long tenon for rings.

PM me how to repair ivory ferrules. I have some with small cracks that I'd love to repair before they get worse, if possible.

Roger Petit made me a shaft with ivory ferrule. It was his first ivory ferrule and an old cracked cueball was the source. The ferrule had a slight crack on delivery and Roger pointed it out with, "if it fails I will replace. I used the Crack (and still do) as A front sight. Keeping the Crack as the side to strike whitey on any off center strikes.
My treatment of the crack in ivory started with acetone to penetrate then super glue. Acetone is solvent for super glue and my theory is it allows the super glue to penetrate as deep as possible in the fissure. So far so good 🤷‍♂️ But it's only been, uh roughly 35 years.

Yes, it's hit is oh so familiar after uh many many years. When the nicked Irish linen wrap came unraveled the name Cole and date was in ink underneath. Seems like it was '87 as my hands oil have worn away the ink now. The slightest difference in the size of the grip suited me so never considered rewrap.
Coles comment a year after the purchase was, "I wouldn't be able to shoot with that cue now. " Well his abilities were far more sensitive than mine. 🤷‍♂️ The ivory ferrule gives a feel unmatched by any other materials I have experienced. The Joss West cues with ivory joints as well are incredible. The ivory joint provides a lively feel while the stainless joint feels solid.
One other thing is a cracked ivory ferrule can be repaired rather than replaced. Acetone followed by super glue works for me.
