Need advice on repairing a vintage shaft with missing tips of ebony points.

Need advice on repairing a vintage shaft with missing tips of ebony points. I have a nice old Double butterfly Brunswick cue with an ebony front. The 4 points of the ebony front have lifted and they all have the tips of the ebony missing. 3 have about 1/4" gone and the 4th is perhaps 1/2". I'm looking to restore this, it's straight and I want to save it.

I have an old ebony front shaft to harvest wood from to make the repair. So how can I best fill these voids?
-I can cut the tips off the extra shaft and glue them in. Then sand them down.
- fill them with mix of ebony dust and glue. Or some other king of material.

Thanks.

Ebony dust and glue should do the trick. See if you can get some glue to run under the actual ebony point since it looks to have lifted, then clamp it with rubber tubing to ensure there are no voids.

I would make some short pieces of really small ebony to fit in the groove and use black epoxy dye and epoxy to fill around it and under the lifted point.
