I shoot with a Leonard Bludworth. Last time I spoke with him he told me Donald (his son) was doing all the refinishing work for him. That was about six months ago. Some of the silver ringwork on my looks like it expanded slightly lifting and making the clear look a little cloudy nothing serious. I spoke to Donald and he told me he usually replaces the wrap when he refinishes the cue, and to send it to him. Just contact Leonard by phone and get Donald's contact info I misplaced it as I decided to wait on the refinish, or I'm sure he's is here on AZ somewhere. Hope this helps
