I have a cue that the maker used cocobolo w/ nickel ring for a shaft collar. It wasnt my daily player but after taking it out for a couple of racks i notice the finish lifted. I had the shaft refinished once but the finish cracked again. I have been told that because of the oils in the cocobolo that the finish wont adhere properly and that I'll always run into this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix? Maybe use a different type of wood that almost matches cocobolo? Maybe use dark brown phenolic? Your opinons are valued.
Thank you.
