in the fs thread there is a sugartree that was donated to TAR that appears to have brown canvas phenolic joint and butt rings. .625-1 and .750-1.350. Does anyone know a source for these sizes. Not atlas or prather as far as I can tell unless I completely missed it. Eric has been MIA
 
Dave wants to buy joint & butt size tubes of material that looks lke this ferrule.....

Brent which grade do you order the CE , LE, or XX please.--Leonard
i can't locate the invoice, but i am about 99.99% sure , based on the current pricing listed, it was the CE

and that ce looks just like that tip/ferrule combo?
DO YOU HAVE AN EXAMPLE?

I have a pic from BHQ showing he has at some point had the correct material.

Here is another pic of a friends Tascarella showing the same stuff. Not the best pic....I've seen better close ups of a couple Tascarella's showing joint & buttcap material EXACTLY like my ferrule pic.

And of course here is Eric's material which looks much closer to my canvas ferrule.

that's the material kev
i had the rod in 1.375" , for butts & joints
for ferrules , i bought the one foot pieces that prathers sells
$9 a foot i think
 
I have material that seems an exact match to Erics

But I cut it out of sheets, and then turn round to whatever size I want. I have some old stock that I purchased from a machine shop that went under. It is canvas phenolic and has beautiful grain and color. I think the sheets were .5, .75, and 1 inch thick. They do look identical to what you posted in both color, and grain. But i would have no way of finding out which supplier sells it. You may have luck looking at sheets instead of rod/tube. Yes you waste more but I never saw the same clear weave and patterns in any rod stock. Even the ferrule you showed as an example does not have the same clear weave as the cue had, but the sheet stock does look exactly that way when finished.

there was a guy selling it in sheets/blocks on ebay
jim lee (jd cues) and i bought a bunch of it together
you can cut that in two different directions for a different look in the weave
i always cut it one way, jimmy cut the opposite way
maybe you can check some of his cue pics to see the difference


this is the guy, but i dont see any of the brown stuff on his listings at the moment
