I guess I need to go back to wrap school as "B" is the way I was taught and works really well. I tried the overlapping and it does not come out right as you now have too much leather and the seam will bulge. You also cut the ends the same way at an angle. I also cut the wrap about 1/32 to 1/16 short and stretch it into place.
The way to do it is overlap the leather. Spray some glue on the leather. Put it on the cue.
If it overlaps 1/2" the cut should be made about 1/4" from the end. Cut the full length with
a razor knife. You will cut through 2 layers of leather. Discard 1/4" of scrap. Pull the wrap
back and discard the other 1/4" of scrap. The cut, even if not exactly perfect, will match.
Press the leather down on the cue and rub it in with your thumb. You will never have any
overlap bulge. The seam will be almost invisible unless holding the wrap up toward a light.
I've put leather wraps on many cues and will say I never cut to fit before putting on the cue.
No. I'm not a cue maker but have repaired many.
