Does anybody have or know where I can acquire some joint material similar to what is on my Pool Cue (pictured). Please advise

Looks like paper phenolic...at least I can’t see any weave in picture

That photo is not really clear enough to tell, but i think i perceive a bit of weave on the "end grain".
My guess would be common linen phenolic (not canvas, e.g.)
It comes more or less the color you show, but varies with mfg'r and a little with age. Also, some finishes will darken it a bit, say if it had any oil finish on it.
The stuff comes from a light red/orange, through a deep cordovan color, and again, much of the final color depends on finish.
How big L x diameter do you need?
Does it need to be cored rod, or can you work with a chunck from a rectangular block?

PS - I have received emails that i did not pay attention to that Cue Components is trying to go out of business.
I have had good experiences and less than satisfactory experiences with them over a 10 yr period; including a phenolic rod that took a while to get shipped (forget what color, probably white).
Point being, this is an example of one possible source. It is not a blanket recommendation, and i do not know what current availability of any specific product, if any, is.

I believe you have helped me locate exactly what I am looking for. I have included a better picture of my joints and a picture of my newly purchased Joint material. Thank you for your time and information~!!!

I have some pieces of the brown phenolic pictured that was purchased in early 2016 from cue components and never use it and probably never will. I will be happy to make you a good deal on it and I do ship fast. If interested let me know and I will post pictures and exact dimensions of what I have on hand.
I may be interested as I have a couple of projects where I may use it. PM me
Cheers,

I have some brown and some black that I bought from cue components and it's not good. Not even a little bit.

ok, I received the material and it was NOT what I wanted. Still looking for this joint material. I was informed that I was going to have a difficult time finding it. I just need (1) shaft collar! Just one!

Wrong color?
Wrong weave?
Or was the material defective?
I might have steered you wrong by saying linen not canvas.
Looking at a joint on one of mine, and it is similar, maybe slightly redder to your photo, but does not show the weave much under finish.
But the original photo, the weave just does not look as coarse as canvas.
Can't think off hand where to get canvas in tubes. I have some in blocks; but that will not show the circular weave.
Apologies for your inconvenience.

Not a bother at all. I may very well use the material on other projects, but not the intended one. The cue in question deserves to have duplicate material. They discontinued making the material I'm looking for, 30 years ago.
