What happened to ringtail wraps?

[deanoc]

Funny but black and white are still among my favorites
I talked to grassly about schon SP30s and he wanted anything but Black and White veneers

actually black and natural

And I said they were my very favorites,not just schon but gus,mottey,scruggs,you name it

even Brunswick 360s and South West ebony into ebony

not boring to me,anyway

I don't like ring tail though

Not boring at all like that, but the veneering is the Artistic blend that seperates it and pulls it all together at the same time. Take away the natural veneer below. BORING.

In my earlier post, i wasn’t implying that it didn’t happen but rather that it wasn’t a big fad with the top
names in cue-making. How many tuxedo versions were made by the top names? And then how many
of those used lizard as a wrap? Obviously it’s a much smaller number than the answer to the 1st question.

There are bound to be some but I still submit my gut is right about it being infrequently used by the really
great names in cue-making and of course, the cue owners that elected to replace the orig. wrap with RTL.
I don’t attend national cue exhibitions so I’ll defer to what other Azers actually know about this subject.

Consider that, at the time, you could probably get a Barry, a Scruggs, and a Tascarella for some of the tuxedos by good but not elite makers.
