After seeing the two butt repairs I did on my cues, I had a couple people ask me to do something similar to their cues.
The first was an Adam cue that had a cracked butt and an odd pine extension added on.

The original rings were cracked and unsalvageable. After turning down the butt to a tenon I saw that the crack made it all the way though. I filled in the crack with Gorilla glue. I wanted the design to be simple like the original. I decided to have similar thick rings, but I would use the phenolic material for the ring and have one on each end to hopefully help support and contain the crack from widening. The back ring also had a flange to support the original butt plate. The butt sleeve is Yucatán Rosewood and I finished it off with some accent rings.

The cue has sentimental value so he is very happy it has new extended life.

I’ll make another post for the other cue.
