Adding a groove/wrap question..?

Really? Cutting grove for Cork wrap with remove weight.
Cork is super light, your negative, how much?
Weight before Cutting, weight after Cutting.
Bingo you know difference.

Short answer...not much.
Measure large and small diameter where wrap will go. You already know the wrap length. Calculate the volume of a truncated cone.
Reduce the diameters by the wrap groove depth x 2. Solve for volume again.
Look up wood density for wood type removed. Calculate weight of before truncated cone.
Difference is (before - after)/before x weight

lost me at 'truncate'.
not a cuemaker. just wondering what weight diff if any.i'd think that the wrap would closely offset the wood loss. can't be a whole lot. i'll try it on a cheap cue first just to see.
Shut up.
Ditto, you zip it. Question was conmen sense.
My reply was on money, but could have flow past you.
You're a clueless peanut gallery who has never turned wood or worked with cork wraps.
Go.play some bingo.
Conmen sense yo azz. Lord.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, if you really want to get a detailed idea (you started the thread after all), i think u can just look up cork density vs the density of the wood type in your butt for any given unit of measure. The difference/ratio will be linear, as the amounts of displaced & replaced materials will roughly occupy the same amount of surface area.

Go ahead tell us how you cut a wrap groove on a finished cue.What is you source of expertise on my wood working skill?
Tell us your best guess.
I BELIEVE HE WAS ASKING CUEMAKERS, AS THIS IS 'ASK THE CUEMAKER' SECTION......NEWS FLASH, YOU ARE NOT A CUEMAKER.....NOT EVEN A REPAIR GUY.....JUST SHUT UP WITH YOUR INCOHERENT BABBLE......
To the original poster, what is the wood of the handle? There could be a slight loss of weight if it's a heavy, dense wood such as ebony, as cork is VERY light, so it's not a tit for tat type of comparision, but if it's dense wood, I would estimate it at less than a quarter of an ounce. When you look at a 25 cent piece....a quarter, it actually weighs .5 ounces.....so removing .025" per side so .050" overall, over a 12-13" distance, of heavy wood compared to maple or any type of less dense/weight wood....PLUS there will be no finish in that same area, so a slight allowance for that also......it can be nothing or something.....the type of wood it is and what the customer expects, and can they feel the difference? These are the factors that will matter in this situation

Sorry. (See the short answer)
If you search "volume of a truncated cone", there is a calculator where you can enter the diameters and length and it will calculate volume for you. By comparing the before and after volume, you will see that a very small percentage is removed. This small loss is partially offset by the weight of the cork wrap.
Well it a simple befor cut, and after cut math problem.
But your not into math I guess.
Good morning
And
Happy Thursday to
EVERYONE!
