Having owened the card cue/gambler, since sept. 09, none of the rings or inlays have popped and the finish is still deep and reflective.

Here are photos of the OB 3 piece jump cue, 48" in length
Shaft 30" 14mm, handle 11.5", butt 7.5"
Radial pins in both joints, phenolic insert in shaft and joints.
Straight
one of 7 made, and only one in maple
If you are going to tournaments to do cue repair, then a portable repair lathe is what you need, but if all repairs come home, then go ahead and get a full size cue lathe.
Good luck and have fun :smile:
