I am helping someone sell a used Cue Smith cuemaking set up that is all on one rolling bench with storage drawers. One side of the bench has a five year old Deluxe Cue Smith Package 2 lathe with leadscrew Power feed, Router, taper bar for butt, taper bar for points, removable shaft taper bar...

Superior in some ways maybe. But the hit of Ivory has never been duplicated. Nor has the hit of the 70s Westing House Micarta. I am not a fan of the hit of either and the Modern Yellow Linen Base Micarta I carry hits better than both in my opinion. But those who like a certain feel or hit want...

That looks more like the 90s Atlas Fiber stuff not the older stuff.

Joe is so overwhelmed with business that he said he rarely answers emails unless they are from one of his few regular customers.

I have the bottom cue in the picture for $1500

The 80's and early 90's Micarta was the paper based stuff. It smelled horrible when turning. I suspect asbestos being used and that being why they quietly went away along with fiber ferrules. But that is just a guess.

Usually with a spray gun. But many also use a gloved finger, playing card, paint brush, foam brush or a lint free cloth.

That is a very nice cue.

Ask for a real shiny, glossy, lustrous finish and see if they think they can do it. Super glue, Epoxy, UV and Auto clears can all do it if done correctly.
