I want to have a lacquer finish

French Polish?

runscott is always bringing old, one piece Brunswicks back to life, you may want to give him a shout-out.

I believe he starts the process with wiping the cue down with Danish Oil, letting that sit to dry a couple of days, then he will hand rub in a French Polish finish. French Polish actually has micro flecks of lacquer in it, so that has the finish heats up under the friction of the hand-rubbing, it becomes a harder, more protective finish. However, you will not get a glossy finish....but more of a dull, satin-like finish on your cue.

Just a thought.

To Dink, sorry I made a post in your thread that was of no help to you. I hope you gathered enough information from those who know way more about the subject than myself. Good luck. :)

Kelly, no problem. This thread isnt owned by me. Feel free to share your point of view. I have to say (even though I should probably stay out of it) that some of the comments here certainly did cross the invisible line. Its a shame we cant all just learn and share from one another.

Lisa, Thanks for letting me know about runscott. I have sent him a PM. I like the French polish idea. It seems to be the simplest for me for now given I dont own a lathe and have zero experience. It would be a good way of testing a first attempt at the art of cuemaking.

Thanks everyone and Happy Father's day! I will post my summary list over the weekend for you to review.
