cue

[sciarco]

I'm thinking on getting a leather wrap installed on my cue, even though the Irish linen is in really good shape just wondering if it's worth it. Here in Canada it's $120 installed any opinions on who does a good job and price thanks.

Get it in Canada. I just paid $275 to get one put on a cue I'm restoring

Thank you Colonel I think I will .

What cue is it?
Some cues like Tad, South West, Gina, etc.,should be sent to them for the wrap.
It used to be Kenny Koo on high end cues, I don't know if that is still the case.
Many other good cuemakers do a great job on leather wraps, but if the guy in Canada
can do a good job with the wrap you choose, $120 is a good price.

The cue is a Jim Griffin custom (Norwela 2008) he's retired from what I hear.

The Blue Book says that he charges $100 for a leather re-wrap, so I would get him out of retirement

That would be nice I just checked he's been retired for 6yrs he's probably fishing somewhere in Louisiana.

Justin D in Oakville is the main man doing most of the cue work around.
He's the only guy I trust to do my work, and big players like johnny morra
also go to Justin. He goes by '' Xpactan '' on AZ and also bulids one hell
of an LD shaft as well. Theres about 7 big players that have scrapped there
Predator shafts for one of Justins. This is your guy!!!!

Hmmm this thread is of special interest to me because I am seriously considering a Tiger Stacked wrap for my butterfly pointed 80's Adam "Julio Stamboulini" Cue. I think it would look spiffy with a stacked wrap. The linen wrap on it is rotting off. I'm thinking of mailing my cue as a whole to Tiger there in California, I think that's where it is and just letting them do it.

Anyone ever ship anything for work of a wrap nature to Tiger before?
