It's not as hard as you think.

Building a channel properly to maintain the playability of the cue is my only goal here. It just takes patience, and some time. tools, Hobby knife, titebond glue, foam applicator, electrical tape, sticky side out of course, and a wet sponge, only wet the top side of the veneer, not the side you are going to glue. If you can do leather, you can do this. I just used a ruler for a straight edge. I hope this helps.

Do you think that's possible be wrapless cue with clear finish on? Just my thought.:smile: that looks really good.

I'm laughing because Tony Z. and I had this conversation already. This cue was sent back to the seller the first time who removed the leather and sanded the handle some more, Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy goody, (.085) then put a couple of strips of masking tape, wrapped it with linen and shipped it out. To answer your question, Yes, it can be done, the pictures are seam up but I have no interest in doing it as the normal side of the equation. The wife seems to disagree, I told her to stay out of my shop.

I have often thought veneering was a good answer for this.


I have also thought it was a possibility for converting a wrapped cue to wrapless. Note I didn't say to make it that way in the first place but rather as a conversion when somebody wants to convert.
