Help Choose Wrap Color

Sorry about the photography

I second this cream white

All kidding aside Martin at Superior Cue has some very cool embossed leather wraps.

Pink would be unique, and might keep people from stealing,

Well, if it makes you happy. Lmao

I don't know if they make it, but a creme color with orange or peach colored flecks would be nice with the colors in the cue.

Linen may not be the same thickness as the leather. Once it is wrapped there might be a high ridge at the top and bottom where the wrap meets the wood.

Nothing is as classic, nostalgic, handsome, great tactile feel as Cortland Linen.
I’ve just cleaned the CL #9 one of my cues and have been glass burnishing it
so the strands lay flat and smooth. The wrap looks brand new and feels terrific.

Just don’t let your natural hand oil and dirt accumulate where it discolors the CL.
Clean it using a light spray of water followed by circular motion towel drying. Try
to towel rub the wrap in the direction the wrap was spun on the cue. Then glass
burnish using hard presses, very rapid strokes across the entire wrap. Figure at
least 10 minutes of burnishing the wrap and break it into 1 minute increments. If
you do it right using very hard pressure and rapid short strokes, your arm will tire.

That’s all you have to do to maintain your CL cue wraps. My Schon has CL #9 and
it was completed by Bob Runde in 1985. The wrap still looks in excellent condition.

I want to change the wrap from smooth leather to linen. I'm not sure what will look best. Any help is appreciated.

Nice Jensen cue, Sir
Try to find white linen, with the SINGLE Blue specs-
Pretty sure is Blue Mountain Linen.
or Hurlbert Linen-
Rick Howard in Florida will have some
