Cue Crazy said:I think I was thinking of this thread with the double wrap, different then what's mentioned here, but I think it looks pretty nice. http://www.azbilliards.com/vbulletin/upload/showthread.php?t=12634&page=2&pp=15&highlight=linen+wrap
I have seen the style mentioned in this thread in older cues & some old imports, probably copies of The Paradise design. Not sure who does that Kind of thing now, but sure someone has or does. Getting a good, clean seam that's strong between colors seems to be the key to me, but then I have never tried It.

linen.
I meant using a 1 color linen coming in say 6-8 inches,
then using a different color for the middle, and the last
6-8 inches with the first color.
like golden brown dark brown golden brown
each being a solid color.
Michael Webb said:The way I usually do it on the older cues is 2 1/4 inches each side of white / green and solid black in the middle. Can't find any pictures at the moment.
