Sorry, but I don't use the rhino head unless I scrimshawed it(2 cues) on the butt cap. My cues are signed in a 2 line signature: Rhino by Wilhite This is done on the forearm.

I now live near Junction, Texas and my cues are always signed in a 2 line signature: Rhino by Wilhite. I built 2 cues that had a Rhino head scrimshawed on the buttcap but the piece was ivory in both cases. The other Rhino cues with picture logos are all Asian imports. Jim Buss, as a joke...

He is, in my opinion, one of the top 2 or 3 cue designers, ever. His design work seems to cover every facet of life, even cigar bands! The man has a fertile design mind and his cues are beautiful and valuable.

Maybe that is what he can afford at this point. What have you donated?

Sorry, but I like it here and your posts are not sending me away. I will swing away like the rest of you.

See MahnaMahna's post and there is the religion connection. Perhaps you could use a drink. It might help you to read better.

This interests me because some are complaining about one guy trying to help another and, in the process, some are griping about it.

The guy had an accident, for Heaven's sakes. His friend posts more than once and some of you act like it is a capital offense. If you are irritated by the multiple posts, don't open them or complain. Move on to something that interests you. Personally, this post was the first one I had seen...

Use a caliper ad find the depth of the channel. Contact your leather supplier and ask for something 2-3 thousandsth thinner. That should work out for you considering the glue if you use contact.

Amboyna Burl and Ebony A cue I made for David Kurjan in Houston. Amboyna burl I the main wood with Gabon ebony for the points. Ivory for all the white inlays and joint. Black leather wrap.

Turning down the butt to get rid of the low spot would be a bad idea as it would be much smaller than the current taper. I suggest replacing the butt sleeve, save the rings and butt cap, refinish and rewrap. Yes, it is no longer original but it will look nice and make a great playing cue.

It appears to be ivory to me, also. Pictures could be better but the grain is there as is the nerve channel.

I sent a paypal payment a few minutes ago.

I will take one, Bob.

Thank you so much for the info. I was about to give up.

Someone on AZB sold the Willie Hoppe Decals for replacing an original. Does anyone know who that might be and a contact name or number for him? Thanks for your help.

Any competent repair person can do a linen wrap. If this is a cue by a well known maker, you might want to consider having him do the re-wrap. Just my 2 cents.

nice, very nice!

That is a real truth. At 72, I can think of many friends, girlfriends and family members who are no longer here. Vietnam took a number of my friends from our area high schools, car accidents, and health issues got a lot of the rest. A few suicides, too. It's strange but when I recall them in...

I am glad that you shared the story. I admit to wondering why Larry's name was on your case but now I know. AND, it is a great story. The case is a really great one. Anyone would be proud to own it for its beauty or the history behind the case. Congrats.
