when i sanded up and down with the grain, my sandpaper snagged the veneer and chipped a small piece off. didn't look quite so bad until i clearcoated.
what to do now?

The only solution I see would be to thin the cue down to get rid of the chip. Not a real good option. You could sand it down just in that area and keep building the finish up and sanding the finish until the cue has no dip there. Don't like the option, but I can't think of much else.

thanks chris

i was afraid that would be my only option

...it's got "character". Consider it a "birthmark". The finish looks to be fine, so I don't think it will stand out that much. Plus, it's a great distinguishing mark in case of theft.

Tell the owner that for FREE, you have carefully designed a permanent iidentification mark on his cue in case of theft.
 
Butterfly veneers

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of glue did you use for the butterflies? Sorry to go off topic.

i like that idea. haha! that will save me from stripping back to bare wood. thanks
 
I don't know how It would look, probably be out of place, but could put some kind of inlay in that spot. A dot may be enough to cover it, and maybe able to do it without an inlay machine, but who knows how it will look.

Could also cut It down, and make a jump butt from It :eek: or maybe move the forearm forward depending on how much more you need to be able to trim, but that might bring up balance issues in both mechanics as well as the looks department.

Building the clear up might be a option, but I have done that along time ago when someone flat spotted a forearm :rolleyes: , and you can usually still tell through the clear. Now that being so small, possible you might get away with it, but might not be the ideal way to handle it, as already mentioned.

fix

mix up some maple dust from turning and epoxy mix, apply to the area and after it sets up you can sand and refinish
