For the cuemakers out there, im starting out, and by starting out I mean starting with small conversion stuff, and was wondering, what place/site do you all use for raw materials. Raw materials being things such as: joint collars (shaft and butt side made of juma, black, white, tan phoenelic, ivorine 4, buckhorn) and where to buy stainless radial pins. Im in the process of buying the machinery, raw wood, necessary lathe tools cutting, parting, boring etc. I know schmelke has some, atlas has some but was looking for the canvas-ish phoenelic look. Just wondering if anyone has good lines on raw materials! Much appreciated for the help!

Also, I also was wondering if anyone has good suggestions on types and or brands places to buy good epoxy/glue for pins/collars/woods.

You’ll want to buy some West Systems epoxy. I usually buy it on Amazon.
I use Titebond when I want yellow glue.

You mention elsewhere being a machinist.
It's probably not letting the cat out of the bag to say most of my (small) shelf of phenolic up to 1-1/2" thick has come from machinists and machine shop auctions.
