Can this be fixed?

[Mr. Bass Man]

I got two cues that are full splice that have completely delaminated, I do not have the spliced handles, just the forearms and both cues are straight. I'm wondering if they can have a new handle spliced with veneers or if I'm going to have to remove the splice and joint a new handle?

Seriously, not even close to being worth the effort.
You might have a couple of nice old shafts though.

What you have is the "easy" part of a spliced cue - the very easy part, relatively speaking.

I figured that was the case, thought it would be neat to have a signed hoppe cue with a strange butt spliced to it but I guess that'll become a shaft. The other one however has an ivory joint with a very nice wood pin that seats extremely tight, if that one CAN be fixed I'd feel it worth it even if it was difficult, anyone have an idea of who would take on such a project?

I consider the other half to be the easier part of the full splice. That is the hard part he shows in the picture. I need to clarify that I am thinking of a full splice with no veneers. If veneers are involved he showed the easier half.

Well Chris it would be my druthers to have veneer but I would settle for no veneer if that brings the stick back to life

All you need is a good bandsaw and an angle holding jig to run your turning square into it to make the handle. Plus some practice on scrap pieces to get the angle right.

I was hoping someone with the equipment and skills might help but I guess DIY is my best option?

DIY is definitely your cheapest option.
