Hi all,

I know that this is a very long shot but I'm starting to run out of options. I have an early 90s Schon that I've played with for 30+ years that still has it's original micarta ferrules on both shafts, unfortunately, the unthinkable happened recently and one of the ferrules chipped somehow. I've been hunting for a replacement and, as expected, they are super rare so I thought I'd reach out to all of the folks here to see if anyone may have a lead on a single ferrule that I may be able to buy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
Todd
 

2 Micarta ferrules

SOLD I've had these sitting around for a while but could never find the right cue to use them on. 1" length .58 diameter Both - $100 OBO Venmo preferred but PayPal G&S works. (edit, I'll cover the PP fees) EDIT: Updated pictures with the wrap off. I'm very confident they are both...

Sadly, I was just a touch to slow in responding for the ones that were posted. Still in search of one of these if anyone has any idea where to find one.

I know it's a very long shot but I'm putting it out there. I may build a small shrine to whoever finds me one and worship it regularly.
 
Why is this ferrule material so desirable? Too many modern ferrule materials out there, are'nt there any that is compatible?

If you buy from them you are as likely to get anything on earth EXCEPT what you actually ordered. Trust me I know! And then' Old Joe' will call you all sorts of nasty things when he denies you a refund. I heard they are going out of business? That would be nice!

i dont really buy anything from him/site. someone asked where they could find it and i just pointed a finger in a direction for them. they sold off to someone else. not sure who but i think the email i got a few days ago said they are under new owners now.
 
"Ole Joe" does not sell the Micarta that is the same as what is on your Schon. I have a couple Shafts from that era.
What is the ringwork? Usually a single silver ring or stitched ring. Shaft with Micarta would be $300

Those are linen, not paper, wrong material

Paper phenolic. It's the closest to the old stuff. It doesn't turn orange though

In terms of today and deflection. I didn't like them. The one's without asbestos played better to me.
I seem to remember Schon had a run of them where they were cut with the grain going sideways.
They split sideways.

For me, it's about trying to keep my cue playing as close to what I know as possible. I've played with this cue(with 2 original ferrules) for over 30 years and don't want to change the hit too much when replacing my damaged ferrule. I still have one good one left and will use it as carefully as possible but I'd really like a matching backup too.
