Looking for Wrap Pics

I am thinking about getting the linen re-wrapped on two of my cues. Having a little trouble picturing some of the color schemes. I am looking at Red/White or Black/Blue specs for one, and Green/White specs for the other. The words are too generic to do a proper search. Do you guys have some cues with with linen in those colors that you wouldn't mind sharing so I can get an idea? Thanks in advance.

I have several cues with Cortland Linen #9 (white w/ green speck) but don't know if
you have a source for getting it which is really scarce & likely costs quite a bit as well.

Pics of my cues are in the Cue Gallery and I could post some here but like I earlier
wrote, finding some isn;t as easy as it was a few years ago. Your best shot might be
Hulbert linen wraps.if you find Cortland Linen #9 isn't available.

Atlas Billiard Supplies carries Hulbert Irish Linen but the color options you wanted aren't
listed but they also offer their own linen wrap (assume so since there wasn't any brand
name). If you buy a 50 yd roll of their linen wrap, the color selections are limited but they
had a black with white speck which tends to be kinda dark. However, if you buy a 1 lb. roll.
the color options are much greater and you have a lot more to choose from.

To keep it in financial perspective, a 50 yard roll of Cortland will likely run you $150 to $200
while a 1 lb roll of Atlas linen (good for 25+ cues) will cost $47-48. Obviously, there is going
to be a difference between Cortland & today's linen wraps but there really aren't many choices.

Go to some of the online billiard stores and look at entry level Pechauer, McDermott, Meucci, Viking cues etc. They typically have cues with a bunch of different stain colors, wrap colors etc. Might find what you need there. :thumbup:
 
key in "linen wrap for cue" in Google, then look at the images... you'll see a bunch...

I know but, most are the standard black, white/green, black/white, white/black. And the linen swatch sample images are good, but doesn't exactly come across as to what it will look like on a cue. Just thought maybe some guys here might have some cues with the linen I was looking at.
 
I dunno if this helps but here's a close-up photo of one of my cue's propellor sleeve & wrap (Cort. Ln #9).
I think it is the nicest white green speak pattern of all the various linen wraps and it also feels the best too.

I dunno if this helps but here's some pics of my cues' wraps & Cortland is my #1.
There's a close-up photo of one of my cue's propellor sleeve & wrap (Cort. Ln #9).

I included a group pic of wraps that are Cortland Linen and two are Elephant Leather.
There's a photo of my Jerry R. cues and as you can see, Cortland really looks great.

The 6 point propellor cue Bob Owen made also uses Cortland Linen #9 and if I were
to order another custom cue, I'd either specify Cortland Lin.#9 or else Kangaroo since
elephant leather is illegal to buy or sell in California (see below).


California Penal Code section 6530 makes it illegal “to possess with intent to sell, or
to sell within the state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of any polar bear,
leopard, ocelot, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, sable antelope, wolf (Canis lupus),zebra, whale,
cobra, python, sea turtle, colobus monkey, kangaroo, vicuna, sea otter, free-roamin feral
horse, dolphin or porpoise (Delphinidae), Spanish lynx, or elephant.”
