Lisa....I have to ask. What were you thinking? I don't want to hurt your sale but I'll be honest...possibly its the pics...but it doesn't look like quality work. Maybe it looks better than it appears...if so please put up some better pics. For some work its often best to send a cue back to its original maker or at least get a recommendation from the cuemaker as to whom he'd let do the work. If you aren't happy with the looks of the cue now, it might be saved a bit by installing very thin blk phenolic collars on both sides of the jump joint then wrapping it in a solid blk linen wrap. That was a beautiful fullsplice blank...I would of definately tried to talk you out of having it put under the knife like that. Here is a "before" pic of the cue from when Lisa purchased it from me. Good luck with your sale.
