I acquired this Paul Morey cue in a trade and I really like it. I wasn't happy with the look or feel of the linen wrap, however, so started exploring other options. I was originally going to go with a nice black Spanish Bull or similar, but after looking at the many examples of Ryan's work on his FB page, I decided to try my very first Stacked Leather wrap. I sent Ryan a photo of the cue and asked for suggestions on what would look good. He chose this and I think it was the right choice!

Nice. It looks like it's sealed with clear coat, is it?

what does a stacked leather wrap feel like?
is it smooth or like an over wrap on a tennis racket where you can feel the overlap some

I don't really know what to tell you beyond what the title suggests - "Ryan Theewen of RAT Cue Repair". RAT being his initials, I assume.

Oh, he is also a custom cuemaker - Theewen Custom Cues. I don't know how active he is with that as his wrap jobs and repair work seem to keep him pretty busy.

It's definitely smooth, almost like a wrapless feel. If you just reach out and grab it, it does feel wrapless, but if you grab the forearm of the cue first and then slide your down to the wrap, you can then tell a slight difference. Just a hair more texture, but no overlap.

Wasn't looking at the title, just reading the postings.
