And it came out not too bad. I dont have a lathe and have never done any thing to a cue except for 2 tip changes, Any ways I changed the tip from the factory le pro to an elk master and shortened the ferrule a bit. I also took off the irish linen wrap and put on a black leather wrap. All in all it came out better than I hoped lol. Sorry for the crappy pics but all I have is my cell to take pics with. Input would be great.........unless you have bad things to say
