If it is the 'Old Yellow' with asbestos, your only bet would be to contact pdcue. He was selling them for around $75 for one ferrule. The ones Percy had were the old paper based Micarta and I bought them for a lower price and personally I think they hit better. There is a great deal of info...

Royce is correct. I use pads with ivory ferrules, but not all the time. The pad gives somewhat of a 'protection factor' for your cue. One thing that wasn't mentioned is the fact that you might have a hard time sticking it on. It's all in the prep. Personally, I like the way the red ones...

Curious, what kind, exactly are you looking for? I got a bunch from Percy last year and lately I have been using it. It has a reeaally sweet hit. I am an ivory nut and I like it as much as ivory if not more.

Center Ball

I have been selected as a candidate for a case study they're doing. It is not available to the public as far as I know. I am sure you will hear of it when it becomes available. I use Blue Diamond, have been using it for a couple years now and absolutely love it. I am also a huge fan of Kamui...

If you play pool with a wood shaft, there is nothing you can do avoid it getting down into the wood fibers. Every time you shoot with a rail bridge, or lay the cue down on the table, it is going to pick up dirt and chalk regardless of what color chalk you're using. Every time you touch...

Coco is not hard to cut, but some cue makers have issues with it due to allergic properties in the wood. If I were you, I would probably stick with East Indian. You can find a piece that you are looking for if you search with a little diligence. By chance would your cue maker happen to be...

Bryan does super clean work. Every time I see one of his cues I am impressed by his immaculacy.

What you have pictured looks a lot like Coco to me, and as someone pointed out earlier, Coco is on the heavy side. East Indian is very nice. You can get on some of the exotic lumber websites and actually pick your piece. You have to ask yourself what is more important to you: the look or the...

Rosewood is light

I personally love ivory. I made myself a cue with an ivory joint and ivory ferrule with no collars just because I love it so much. I break with it, and break hard too. I've played other cues with ivory doing the same thing and have never had one crack on me. To me, ivory is the most...

Just curious, do you know who Bill Stroud is?

I use a Delta Planer and Jointer and get great results. There are ways to get around using one or the other, but you need both to do it right.

Those ones that Joey has look real good. I don't think you would be unsatisfied one bit. If I were gonna buy a full spliced cue, I would get one from Travis Nicklich or Paul Sumrall. They both post on here.

BAM! There you go, right there. A chance to learn from the best. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn the craft >>> properly.

I am in total agreement with these comments. I use a Forrest Woodworker II on my Delta Table saw and it is by far the best blade I have ever used. Nice, crisp cuts. Also, Freud to me is a ball higher than CMT, however they are both considerably better than average brands, and yes, you do...

In my shop, I carry nothing but Kamui Black. They are worth every penny and then some. I am so confident in them that I offer a 100% guarantee. They are the Mercedes Benz of tips.

There are lots of cue makers out there. I would 'get to know' someone and use your gut to determine who you'll go with. Look at some of the past cues or go to their website and see if what they are making appeals to you. Cue makers greatly depend on reputation to survive. As long as you are...
