I need some of this old redish brown ring material that SW used to use. I know some people have have some laying around. Please up me out. image.jpg
 
The colors you have do not match each other. I am sure that someone has something close but not exact.

The first 3 shafts match, the 4th is the same material just new. I am looking for all I can get up to enough for 2 shafts and 7 JPs. Will also commission a cue maker that has it if they want to make the JPs. I'll also take as little for one shaft. Thanks guys!
 
i think i read somwhere that brown phenolic was made popular by them, i think brown phenolic today is just made different, im sure im wrong, but if youncan find a company and place a custom order to this color, yoiu might have more luck.

Really the only place to get this brown is to have old stock. The new stuff is less toxic and ages differently.

Good luck trying that...

It is called "natural" - it was made popular by Harvey Martin - you can't buy it 'new'.

The reddish-brown color only develops after years of aging.

I have some of the material but will not part with it. The material looks like the color in the picture, but once it is cut it will lighten up and then over the years turn back to the color in the picture. I have a process that colors the phenolic to match very close to what you are wanting. Also another route is to find older Southwest shafts and cut off the rings and use them - I have done this several times on my shaft blanks, using their rings.
