Leather Wrap for this Schon?

[taozhong]

Hi fellow Azers..

I recently bought a Schon Ltd 1130. I do not have picturs of it, but i browsed through the forum and found a picture that somebody else took.. The cue looks this:

I am thinking of installing a leather wrap on the cue. Would like to seek some advise on what leather wrap would go well with it? I was thinking of getting a brown teju lizard or something along those lines to get a bit more contrast than the standard black color.. But any advise would be greatly appreciated!!

I would think about a nice *stacked leather wrap*. Saw several Schon Cues near to your desigh with a nice stacked-leather. Just my opinion

Black lizard print or genuine hide. Send a pm to Jim Lee (J&D CUSTOMS) or to KOINNKID. They have a wide variety of wraps to choose from

Do you think a brown teju lizard, or something reddish would work??

I buy all my wraps from Jim (J&D Customs). He is the man when it comes to both installation and fine wraps. He could help you decide and probably has the selection you need to accomplish what you want.

I don't think so. I would match a cognac (reddish) wrap to a cue with an ebony forearm and buttsleve, or a brown wrap to maple forearm with rosewood points and sleve. For your cue, black is the way to go imho.

I have a bunch of wraps with different colors and textures that I keep so I can simply put them over an existing wrap, to see what the cue will look like with different combos.

. This way, I get to try several options before a wrap is permanently installed

Honestly i would have a real ring tail lizard wrap(Black) put on.

the real skins hold there shine alot longer, and they have a better fell as well.

Good Luck
