[mortuarymike-nv]

I want to learn how to do a stacked leather wraps,
All constructive advise is welcome.
I haven't had a chance to really look at any cues that have a SLW on them in person. but some of the pictures I have seen the cue looked like it had a hard clear finish almost like a wrapless cue.

Anyway need all the good advise as possible and would like to see how other cue makers do there SLW.


Thank you

Tiger does a nice stacked leather wrap. I've seen one in person and played with the cue.

Can you feel a edge or uneven surface when you run your hand from the wrap to the forearm or butt of the cue ?

There are several overlooked advantages to a stack wrap that I love. If you plan on keeping your cue for a long time, they are cost effective. I've had mine for at least 9 years now (done by Tiger in Burbank). I prefer mine with the finish worn off, but they can be resealed to look like new anytime. Bear in mind I was going through leather wraps every few years until I got the stack.

Here are the advantages:

- considerably more durable than any leather or linen wrap - does not wear out, fray or wear down like leather

- playing characteristics of a wrapless, but not sticky after break- in and it will absorb hand moisture.

- may be re-sealed for different feels.

- does not require cleaning.

- provides a firm feel and excellent grip.

The photo is what it looks like after a re-seal by Tiger. Right now the finish is gone, which is the feel I prefer, so the wrap is dull black. I only really like the solid colors like the black. I think the multi colors are too busy looking and visually compete with the cue itself. The wrap should be installed level with the cue's finished surface. In some cases that may mean adjusting the wrap channel. This is critical to these wraps. They are not an easy install.

Thanks for the Info Tate, I would very much like to examine a cue with a SLW cue in person..

I plan on doing a SLW on something else before trying it on a cue.

Are you going to be at the Reno bar box tournament ?

No, I'm not going. I don't know where you're located, but if you're in Southern California feel free to visit Tiger products in Burbank to see their many examples. Ryan Theewen at RAT Cues, (Meuller's) also does superb SLW wraps. Here's his contact info:

I just pulled this pic off of Ryan's facebook page.

Here's another one Ryan posted. Usually I don't like multi color but this "penetration" would look really good on certain cues.

Thank you for the recommendation. I have been wanting to get a nice leather wrap put on and found the guy to do it.

He also charges a good price. Stack leather is definitely worth looking into. As mentioned previously, mine is 9 years old and going strong. I don't really know how long it may last.
