Just wondering if u could get any recommendations for anyone who can take a brand new Viking butt that is 1.285 in the rear and taper it down to 1.18. It’s solid black and would have to be painted/stained black again and refinished
 
I don't think you really know how much more involved it is to turn down a finished stained cue.
You are much better off starting from scratch, That's a seriously thin butt btw. 1.18" is less than 30mm

I’ve been playing with one made by jack kampman (RIP) for like 15 years so I’m used to it. That’s how old man jack made a lot of his cues
 
There are lots of folks here that could easily do this work. The taper job is fairly simple, the re-stain and refinish will be where the $$ comes in. I agree with Kim, you are probably better off just starting from scratch.

Did u ask Viking themselves? As said before this isn't super easy job you want done. Just have a skinny butt made.

Viking used to have a skinny butt option. I don't see that option on they website anymore. I think they where 1.220"/31mm. OP wants a cue under 30mm, which is super skinny, that's snooker cue territory almost.
