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...

I use a #00 all the way up to a #6. Depends on what I'm drilling the center for. I've cut 1.5 squares to round between centers with a #00 on both ends with minimal pressure and have never had problem. I suspect you may have forgotten to snug something up.

I believe a lot of people don't understand this concept. I've purchased a lot of things throughout my life that I probably have over paid for just because I wanted it. ;)

There's a name you don't hear much unless you lived around the northwest Ohio. Never got to meet Joe. He was at the end of his career and I was greener than a greenhorn. Had what I thought was an appt to look at what he had for a shop and possibly buy it when I found out it got sold to another...

Find someone different that knows what they're doing. A lot of hacks with a lathe out there now. Just because one can afford a lathe doesn't mean they know what they're doing.

Now you've went and done it! :ROFLMAO:LOL:ROFLMAO:

Many different theories on ways to assemble cues. If your belief lays in one of many and it's working for you don't change a thing. In the beginning I was shown a certain way to assemble cues and felt there were some better ways to accomplish those ideas. I tried a few different ways in my very...
