Fix A-joint?

Maybe, but the glue's held for 13yrs.
Don't forget, the cue was built in Florida.
Maybe where the OP is at now is a much drier climate.
Wood has been known to shrink.

I'm intrigued by Ryan's post.
The only thing that comes to mind is a water or alcohol injection(or fresh glue). But then you gotta wonder, is it in the handle or is it in the forearm?

Good point. So, maybe, if i moved to Florida the problem would fix itself. Ill consider that in my options. :smile:

Do you mean take the joint pin out and run a cut off tool in from there to another screw? Is there a metal screw in the A-joint? More than likely, the problem was not enough glue during assembly, am i right?

I am talking about the screw in the middle of the butt where the wrap and forearm meet. That is the most likely place to be causing the problem. Yes Chris Byrne posts on here. You can find his full contact information on www.internationalcuemakers.com members page.
