Nice cue, as always. If "anything" I would replace the butt sleeve with an equal dark Birdseye as the front and not let original guy buy it.
Thanks for the comments .
I guess the original buyer did not pass on the cue , He would take it if I cut the forarm off and re-place it , easy quick fix , according to him . I passed on cutting the cue in half .
Tom the cue is Beautiful , the way it is . I'm not changing anything . When the finish went on , the forearm got a little darker .
To cut the cue in half would destroy the way the cue is made with a 1 piece laminated core from end to end .
