I just completed replacing the wrap on a cue I made for a buddy about 6-7 years ago, with a Ash burl veneer. It came out pretty sharp looking. He had a leather wrap, but now wanted to go wrapless, so I did this. It's my first try at it and I think it came out ok. The seam was more work than I hoped for, due to the softness/brittleness of the burl. I won't be doing this to any other cues than those I have made.
here's the pics,

I think it looks excellent. On a light colored wood that must have been really tough. On a dark straight grained piece you might not see it at all. WELL DONE!
 
Ya done good David. What you've accomplished, few will attempt. What you've learned is priceless.
 
Very nice work---------:thumbup: I,ved done some but only to build up wrap channel .

Thanks all the kind words. It was an experience. I had some help from a guy at Woodcraft that has a lot of experience working with burl veneers. He turned me on to a product called veneer tamer....worked awesome.
