Wow! Better then expected! Nice.

Looks nice, would be interested in how it holds up after a few months of playing. Will it be affected by sweat, .. etc

 

[Lawnboy77]

Yeah looks great!

That's a lot more subtle than I thought it would be.

Nicely done!

I watered down the paint until it looked a light tan and went from there.
I figured if it was too light i could mix a little darker batch and add to it.
And I probably got a little lucky.

I used sandals as my lathe.
Stuck each end in the toe end of a sandal and rotated the cue with my non painting hand,worked great.
It was this pair.

No I used a 1/2 inch craft brush to apply the stain while spinning the butt on my home made lath, then soaked up the excess with a wash cloth.

It's pretty cheap to get a linen wrap done.

Cost was about $8 to dye it.

I would feel that i could mess up the finish or the wood under the wrap.
