Imagine it's not there, is the easiest fix.:grin:
If it's bowed, it's hosed.

What Joey said, pretend its not there. I have a 314 that does what it feels like. I straighten it and later, it does its own thing. I was playing Sat night
and found that the tip was coming off the table again. Up to that point
it didn't make a difference but all of a sudden it got into my head.
I got around it and was still potting balls. If the tip isn't jumping off the table, don't worry about it.
You can build a jig from scrap that works with surgical tubing. It can have varied results. If you're lucky to get a small warp out, chances are pretty good that it will come back at a later date. Nothing gained, nothing lost.

but thanks again...
Ooops, I hope you were joking there.
Joey is one of the cue makers on here that all things considered, his word is gold.
My post wasn't meant to go over his. Just something that I tried and as I mentioned, had varied results.

Is it from this George Balabushka cue ?
It will still hold it's value.
Wow! Seven posts and you figured Joey out already. It took me a lot longer to learn that.
Years of cocobolo dust have taken their toll.Wood finds its "happy place" and it is usually not the same as yours. You can bend it back, hang it, yell at it, etc, but it will always go back to the place that makes it happy.

At least I can still spell TOO.
Coco dust, sneeze.
The best fix is a Band saw and a fire place, but save the shaft collar because it can be used on another shaft.

Better yet...
Better yet,
Make a Butt Joint Protector...
Put a Top Plate to cover the hole....

They make pretty decent weenie roasters too.
Joey was absolutely correct. You can waste your time trying all kinds of remedies but they don't work. Breaking it in half is the best solution; then buy one that is straight.

Strip all the wax and sealant off, then hang by the tip end. Wet it real good with hot water. It should be dry enough to burn by the time you get
back home with a new shaft.
No kidding. I have yet to be able to straighten a warped shaft. Have tried about everything there is to no avail. Good luck.

The only dumb thing Joey ever did that I saw was to remove that beautiful girl he once had as a avatar and replace it with a bunch of cue ends.
That was a very distracting pic.

Joey is back in my good graces. His new butt looks a lot better
It still has one good use left.
Take it to the garden drive it in the ground.
Then tie your Tomato plant to it.
