Segmented rings (split) can be added fairly easily. A channel is cut in the cue and the half rings are inserted and glued. Cutting the ring flush and refinishing needs to be done afterwards. A solid ring could not be added in that manner unless you are ok with seeing a glue line. Alan

It is the lack of available parts that hurts the Porper now.

I understand, but pricing can vary widely from maker to maker. Asking what a certain cue would be worth is fine though. I think you have a great looking cue that would be well worth a refinish. Alan

To the original poster: Forum rules say not to discuss pricing here. If you like the cue then most any cuemaker would give your cue a refinish and put it back to new condition. Hope that helps Alan

Ash has been used before. You may be able to find that locally.

Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should...

If there is enough 'meat' in the cue, it can be re-tapered and refinished. Alan

Happened to me on a piece of EIR too.

A picture is still worth a thousand words. After seeing the pictures you posted, it's apparent that the install was poorly done. Putting a new carbon fiber pad back on the ferrule is not a big deal though, any decent cue mechanic can get you back up to speed. Alan

You said that 'We' decided to remove the piece that you now know was a boilerplate. Sorry sir, but it sounds like you granted permission at that point. Granted the cue tech should have been more knowledgeable, but you told him to proceed with the removal and repair.

It's not juma., too old for that. Probably abs.

I sent you a PM

Cue Mill is 1.24 and Cue Lathe is 1.23 on my system. I think that was the last update.

If you are going to make cored cues, there is no good substitute for a good gun drill. I have several sizes depending on what I'm looking to accomplish with the core.
