Dremel tool, tiny files, sandpaper, and lots of time and patience.

Nice job restoring this Viking cue.
I think you have a future in cue restoration
Are those No. 2 pencils?

Because the maple was thicker in diameter I put the pencils in there to make sure I had good clamping pressure on the points. Clamping pressure on the points was a problem I had not thought of until it was glued and I was putting on the band/clamp. They were handy and an inexpensive solution. Whether they were #2's or not I do not remember.
