We'll show you how to properly install a tenon. We'll show you how to properly install a ferrule from threading the tenon to installation. And we'll show you how to properly prepare a tip and install it.

We'll also show you how not to install a tenon, a ferrule and a tip. We'll lay many of the myths to rest and show you many little tricks which you'll never figure out or which will take you years to figure out. We show you how to avoid the glue line between the ferrule and shaft. We show you how to mate the tip and ferrule so that your work lasts for the life of a tip. We'll show you how to properly shape a tip.

We'll show you how to do a quality job with precision and care. Your work will stand out.

This DVD covers two proper techniques of installing veneer work to your points. It will also cover how to cut veneers with and without a mill in detail. We'll show two methods both of which produce accurate and clean veneer work. This is the ultimate in precision veneer technique.

If you are new to cue building, you will need to purchase Proper "V" Point Construction Techniques to fully understand how point work is done. This DVD picks up where the other one leaves off. Doing veneer work is the next level of cue construction.

If you are accustomed to building cues with points and want to learn flawless veneer work or if you just want to see different technique, then perhaps you won't need the previous DVD - Proper "V" Point Construction Techniques. However, if your point work is not up to speed without doing veneers, then this DVD will not produce the desired results. Flawless construction technique will produce the desired results. And, unless you know how everything is accomplished up to doing veneers, this part will not produce the desired results without flawless construction prior to doing veneers.

After viewing this DVD, you'll find that doing veneer work, as labor intensive as it is, will be very easy and rewarding. Our step-by-step procedures makes it easy to follow and understand. It's really a no-brainer!

These slabs are cut from the finest Elephant Ivory Tusk. We sell this in two sizes; small random slabs and large random slabs.

Small random slabs are .125 thick. They vary in width from 1/2 inch up in to perhaps 1 inch in width and usually run 2" to 4" in length. These are random slabs and are priced as random slabs. At this price you cannot specify lengths and/or widths.

Large random slabs are .125 thick. They vary in width from 1 inch up to perhaps 3 or 4 inchs in width and usually run 4" up to 10" in length. These are random slabs and are priced as random slabs.

At the above prices, you cannot specify lengths and/or widths. We are selling this by the ounce. The larger your order, the larger the pieces we can offer you. If you order 2 ounces of random large slabs, we can't provide you with 10" lengths. Remember, the wider and longer pieces require more weight so we recommend ordering at least 4 ounces to get some super large pieces. We will round your order up or down to accommodate what we supply. In-other-words, you may order 4 ounces but we may supply 3.75 ounces or we could supply 4.5 ounces depending on the size of slabs and weight of the slabs we choose to come close to your ordered weight.

We no longer custom cut sizes. We sell only quality, pre-ban and well documented ivory. We make the market and you won't find it for less.

The Short Story: If you wish to purchase ivory, you must be a resident of the State of Florida. If you are not a Florida resident then no legal pre ban ivory may be purchased.

YOU ARE FREE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING ELSE.

By purchasing LEGAL PRE BAN IVORY ONLY from this web site, you attest and confirm that you are a legal resident of the State of Florida and have absolutely no intention of shipping any legal pre ban ivory out of the State of Florida.

We can only ship legal pre ban ivory to Florida residents only. Absolutely NO interstate sales. Florida sales only.

NOTICE: We will vigorously assist law enforcement on any out-of-state customers or alleged “straw man” deals which could violate the law. What is a "straw man" deal? When you ask your friend, relative or whatever who resides in Florida to make the purchase for you with the intentions of having them ship it to you in your state.

Also, we will not ship pre ban ivory to hotels while you are visiting Florida. Florida pre ban ivory sales to Florida residents only! Period!

The Samson S2 is an amazing cue tip for the money. I have tried many tips and I would compare it in playability, with some of the high priced Japanese brands. In fact, when it comes to value of money, I haven't found anything that can match this tip.

You will not be disappointed.  We're here to assist you with your Game calls or knife making hobby or profession.

We can custom cut to any desired thickness, width and length; inquires are welcome.

Micarta And Its Many Myths

What is micarta? The actual word and definition has become diluted through the decades since it's invention in and around 1911 by Westinghouse Electric Corporation.  Micarta was actually produced as an industrial laminate for electrical insulation.  Soon afterwards it was started to be used as a decorative laminate and thus Formica was born.  Both products were marketed under the trade name 'micarta'.  As such, it became used generically.  Micarta today has been used by any laminated composite material including glass epoxy otherwise known as G10.

Westinghouse produced what is called 'antique ivory', better known as a grade FR-2 laminate.  This was comprised of paper sheets which were soaked in epoxy resin and then baked and pressed into huge sheets.  The color was incidental as it was an industrial product.  Color was really never a goal of any industrial laminate.  In fact, the color from run to run varied greatly.  The purpose of the FT-2 was to be an electrical insulator with different characteristics than the much more common paper grades which were manufactured with phenolic resins.

As for the asbestos laminates we hear so much about, there were actually two grades.  We believe neither of these two grades have been produced in the USA since the mid 1960's or so.  They were indeed manufactured in Europe during the 1970's.  This material was for industrial use as an electrical insulator as well.  This material is extremely dangerous as it is asbestos based.  Fortunately, little remains today.

The Westinghouse micarta division was eventually sold to International Paper (IP) in 1995 an was run for several years.  They manufactured these micarta laminates for decorative purposes while based in South Carolina.  Eventually IP sold the facility and it was subsequently sold again.  It was eventually liquidated and sold off around 2004 or thereabouts.
