You guys are right I'm gonna keep it all original
lots of cumakers do that. just take a pic of it and put on the wrap. that name isn't going to increase value.Ok guys the story of this cue has taken a interesting twist... So I had a different lien wrap installed and when we took off the old linen wrap there was a name and date wrote in pencil. We think the name says " Engrave Farrington" and the date says 2-12-82...I talked to bill about it and he said he think it may be a collectors name because he had the same name on a old Scruggs years ago. could it be possible that this was wrote by Tim Scruggs himself so he knew who's cue it was because he was making so many cuesif it was write by Scruggs should I showcase it and just leave the linen off the cue and finish it without a wrap so you can see the writing? I think that would look pretty cool in my opinion.. I attached pics
Don't sweat the collector angle. Play with it and enjoy it.Here is what the cue looks like now...1982 Scruggs big pin 3/8 x 10 ivory joint and Ferrule.
East Indian rosewood with dark chocolate leather wrap
Every cue I’ve had made had my name penciled on the wood by the cue maker the moment he pulled stock.lots of cumakers do that. just take a pic of it and put on the wrap. that name isn't going to increase value.
I'm a big fan of white with green spec wraps - I love old school style.Great looking cue. Im also not crazy about the light color wraps. But its sharp looking nonetheless. Also, have seen some of his cues up there in price, so Id say its pretty close to a fair deal
I disagree, not if you maintain the wraps. The youngest Cortland linen wrap in the photos is six years oldI'm a big fan of white with green spec wraps - I love old school style.
The problem is that if you play with it, it doesn't stay white with green spec. It gets to be a gross gold color.
To the OP - the cue looks great, and I hope you enjoy playing with it.
How do you keep em so pristine? What's the routine?I disagree, not if you maintain the wraps. The youngest Cortland linen wrap in the photos is six years old
and the oldest Cortland wrap is almost 37 years old. The wraps should last a lifetime if properly cared for.
My experience has been really good but I’m also very meticulous about the maintenance of my pool cues.
