I do not want to offend anyone. Is it so hard to help what you Love?

hang-the-9 are you saying you do not want to contribute or do not have the skills?

What is the proper way to treat an old cue when you receive it? I just purchased an older 1967/68 cue and oiled the wood down when I received it. I pulled it out a couple of days later and notice a couple of cracks in the wood I did not see before. They may have been there before since I was so...
