You could feel everything, basically 8 sides. But you evaluate, make a decision and hope. You get one shot and the window is small and limited to approximately the size of the finish your going to apply to it or within reason.

It's a window cue. I pulled all the pieces, made a cup holder for each piece, bored it true and made phenolic shims for each piece. My customer is the original owner.
More pics to come.
Is this where you tell me you got lucky?Nice clean up Mike.
Well yes Sir.
It is. :thumbup:
I'm starting to seal it.
More when finished.

Coming along nice Mike! It'll be a gem and better than original when done.
Congrats to the owner

Hi Mr. Weeks
I keep a pretty good photo library of the one's I've restored. I've seen a couple of different construction methods. True fact, restorations are usually more demanding than building a cue. Following behind someone else's work is very challenging and having the right state of mind and time can be a task by itself. I try to imagine what it will be instead of what it is. There's a couple of good guys here that have extensive knowledge of Palmers. Thier input has helped me over the years. Type 79 and Classic cues. Great people.

It will have a wrap again. The weight will be the same as it was. It's his player. Fun stuff.
