Strange even for me....

I just bought a old JW from someone on the AZ gang. It is an old one and he admited that one of the shafts is warped, the other shaft is straight and the butt is straight.

My plan is no problem, I will just send the shaft to a cuemaker and have him make another.

My question, is because it has a Westinghouse Micarta ferrell is there anyway to reuse it? I have no problem robbing the ringwork on the bottom or having the cuemaker make it as it pretty standard JW. It really isnt about the money but I just wanted to save Micarta ferrell.

If not, I will just have a cuemaker use ivory ferrell and either save or reuse bottom ringwork.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ken

There may be one way, however, it also make you keep the shaft the same size. You may be able to spin the cue in a lathe and use a piece of leather or cloth and hold it to the spinning ferrule to losen the glue. It may also destroy the ferrule, this is all I can think of.

I had an ivory ferrell saved. he cut it off, faced it and bored it out. I still have it on the new shaft.

If the shaft is going to be scraped, then just cut it off and hold the ferrule and bore the wood out. If it is threaded you can bore to the thread id and pick out the glue and wood thread, or you could recut the thread with a internal threading tool. If it was a 5/16 thread make it 11/32 or even 3/8. It depends on how much you really want to keep and use the original ferrule.Patience can do wonders .

Hello,

I have the ring work for the maple and black dash rings if that is the ringwork, and will try to save the micarta ferrule, I don't like trying to save the ring work. I would cut the current shaft down to 13inches and add a phenolic tip, and presto, you have a "custom" shorty jump cue, great for long jumps.

if interested pm me for price.
