Danny has been a personal friend for sometime now, so Danny sent me a cue for my assesment and refinish early last week. The cue is a Mid-1980's model that was later known as a model 95-17. The cue in my opinion is one of the nicest designs that Meucci made, and I tried to get Danny to sell me the cue:D, but he wanted it for a personal player:(:). Well here you go Danny, I hope you enjoy the cue below are the photo's that you requested that I post upon completion of the cues refinish.

Thanks for the kind words Lisa, Danny hasn't seen the cue yet but I think he will be happy with the results.

Take care

I'm already happy with the results of this OL-1, and look forward
to the tube arriving at my door.

Imagine, this is one of those "craigslist" finds that I picked up in
Austin, Texas for twenty dollars :p

Received the cue yesterday, and took it out to hit some balls.

The re-finish is as good as it gets, and a big thanks to Craig for
the awesome turn around time (less than 2 weeks including shipping).

The photo's are not nearly representative of the before and after
conditions of this cue. This 25+ year old cue today looks like it
is fresh out of the wrapper 25 years ago.

There is something special about playing with a classy low dollar
cue that was snagged off craigslist for next to nothing that just
can't be beat :thumbup:

That finish looks better than any Meucci I got brand new.....:rolleyes:

It looks like he didnt cover the wrap, which is my preference as well.

wrap is not covered. It was Craigs' suggestion to leave it uncovered,
and to install the white w/green speck replacing the white w/black
speck covered wrap that was on it.

It was the right choice.
 
Refinish

Craig, that cue looks beautiful. I wish I could have seen it before it went out. I guess I better get my ass over to see you more often.

Nice work Craig. Bringing this old cue back to life. I just wish I had the know how of all you cue guys doing this kind of work. To me it takes alot of patience & alot of knowledge to do work like this & to also do it the right way as well. Again great job on the refinish Craig & congrats to Danny on getting a great looking cue.

Many thanks to all who have posted, I enjoy doing this kinda work and I am glad that Danny choose to have the wrap unsealed. I have always thought it was a waste to cover a cues wrap with finish, because to me wraps should be replaced over time as part of maintenance of the cue.

Again thanks to everyone for their comments.
 
I decided to compliment the re-finish with some joint protectors
from Jim Baxters' shop. His wife Christy is finishing this set now
with a final shaving of the top and bevel to match the cue's
