It would be very beneficial to you and your SW cue to send it to Laurie @ SW and have her do a LOA for it if you plan on selling it. That will support any further questions about the cue and give any buyer peace of mind.

If he doesn't have the capabilities he's SOL.

The minor diameter would need to bored and the threads cut live. This would be one way to achieve them.

Unfortunately it will most likely depend on who manufactured the pin. You can have different minors on the same style 3/8-10 and/or 3/8-11 pin from different places.

https://www.thunderbirdsupply.com/ I've purchased some copper sheet from here with no problems. .060 would equate to roughly 16 guage sheet. Didn't look to see if it's available. I left that homework up to anyone looking.

I've personally measured cues from .780 (very old cues) to .870. I also agree with Sheldon that I believe the majority of the more modern cue builds fall in the .840 to .850 range. However, like a lot of cue construction, there are no standards.

Just common woods for that time. Nothing special. Generally used whatever they could buy a truck load for cheap back then.

Ever get in touch with? He's advertising on the main forum again.

Gotta love this picture! No eye protection. No respiratory projection. No OSHA ! LOL I think he needs to be about 12 inches closer to that cutter. :ROFLMAO:

Type of wood ( my guess...walnut or oak or pine or alder) Is it veneered or solid wood? Thickness of wood Length of thick pieces Solidity of the wood Probably had a finish on it. Snow shouldn't matter. The longer it sits outside the worst it'll get. You haven't made it disappear yet?

Fill it with a piece of ebony and glue.

"Why would anyone use porous material for ferrules??" Not all ferrule material is created equal. Most with linen in it is needed to be sealed immediately after the final cut. And possibly a few times through its life span. As pointed out... Definitely not ivory. When you mentioned it...

Hard to say without actually seeing/holding the cue. As others have mentioned, this can probably be done. There are a lot of different factors to determine the cost of the repair or if it can even be done. An example would be a warped forearm which makes it a tough nut to crack. Not much you...

Are you 100% sure? I'll be the first to admit I haven't seen it all. A closeup sharp picture may help.

SOLD This is Ceylon ebony. I purchased it over 20 years ago. It is dry and ready to build cues with. As you can see it has some brown figure that runs through it which is typical with this ebony. I've built many cues with this stock and each one is unique with its own striping of brownish...
