Question about leather wraps

No, generally not. Cue makers can use epoxy or whatever method they may have before changing the wrap to make it flush with the rest of the cue.

The answer is no they arent thicker in your hand if thats what you are asking.

Generally the thickness of the leather is more than the linen! Usually the handle is cut or sanded down to accommodate for the difference in the thickness of the leather so it still sits flush with the rest of the cue if you are going from linen to leather.

Are they the same thickness as linen wraps?

Can you replace a linen wrap with a leather wrap and vice-versa without effecting the overall thickness of the grip?

it depends on the piece of leather. it's organic it's not all going to be the same size. elephant ear for example is thicker than linnen and stack leather.

what aer you thinking of putting on your cue?

It will depend on how deep the handle channel is cut. When whomever you commission to change the wrap removes the linen, they will be able to see if the leather wrap will work without changing the channel in the handle. I have a Tascarella that had an irish linen wrap and I had Kenny Koo replace it with a very thin, smooth european calf wrap, and no alterations were necessary. As Sam said, the thickness of the leather will make a difference as well. The thinner leather provides a better feel in my opinion, almost like a wrapless cue
