I'm not a linen guy so i wouldn't touch it. Classic green speck would look the best imo.

I like the idea of black with white speck the white with green speck would look nice also .
I've always been a big fan of white with light green specs. Especially on a cue like this - I think it's a timeless, classic look.
Edit: I have a Hercek with very similar veneer colors with white and double black linen. Here's some pics if you want an idea of how that would look.

My New (to me) Joel Hercek
I'll just the pictures do most of the talking on this one. According to Joel, it was the first time he engraved rings. He completed the cue in September 1997. It is his 58th cue. As one would expect, it plays very well. Ran a few 55 - 56s last night with the cue, with two on video. As with...

With the question in search of an answer you do realize your get a different answer from everyone it boils down to Ford Chevy or Dodge / which girl is the prettiest or which is the best pool cue made, so pop some popcorn and grab your favorite drink this could get interesting ha ha

White with black speck or black with white speck.
You have a problem though. There can be problems going from leather to linen. It depends on how thick the leather is. Honestly, I would not mess with it.
Thanks. The cue on the right is an H4 Schon. I had a leather wrap put on but sorry I did not leave it wrapless. (not a complaint just should have)
Both look good...but black w/white is so common.... Looks great in reverse.
^^^^^^^^
That black with blue would look great. If not that, white with green spec.
There is a cream with lite blue spec that I have on a bunch of cues. It always looks great. IMHO This is my FAVORITE

That is a really sharp cue Bob, right down my alley. Very nice.That black with blue would look great. If not that, white with green spec.

Your right....The leather is thicker and has a deeper cut than for linen....
I am known to be a big fan of Cortland Linen. Having said that, a white with blue speck linen wrap would look terrific.
Cortland made a white/ black speck wrap but I was never to locate any for my cues so I used CL #9 (green speck).
If you could find CL white w/ black speck, that would look the best. Otherwise, I think Hulbert made a blue speck linen
wrap. The size of the linen strands is important because leather wraps are known to vary in thickness. The butt might
need some type of liner if the leather wrap’s thickness and the linen wrap you select to use do not align.
