I converted this old 4 point 4 veneer cue with Titlist veneers. It wasn't a Brunswick though. It was suggested it's a Katz from the 40s or 50s.

What do you think? Modeled it after a Tony Sauer conversion I saw with a long buttsleeve at 5.5 inches, 18.2 ounces, 58.5 inches, 12.6mm tip, just the specs I like. It plays real nice. First super glue finish I have done. I was real happy with the finish.

Best I can tell from pictures, the cue looks pretty good. If you send the cue to me for a couple of weeks, I could provide a much more informed opinion. :thumbup:

Nice work. I am sure you must be proud to show it off. Go make another cue.

Cue building is like hanging wallpaper. ..you see your mistakes that others will never notice !
 
I like it. The only thing I'd change is the thick joint collars, did you have to use them to preserve the length?
 
Joint collars are 5/8" the white joint 7/8". I pushed the points forward and the forearm is 11.25 " from joint fave to top of wrap. Wrap is 12.25". The buttsleeve 5.25 with buttcap 5/8". I wanted it to have an extended buttsleeve , I like the look plus I'm shooting mostly without holding the wrap.
