Wow lovely job with the wrap....could you post closer pictures so we can see the detail? Is that real lizard or textured leather? And who is Guido Orlandi?

BTW is that a Gilbert? What are the specs and how much did it cost you? PM if you'd prefer....thanks!

Awesome looking wrap 'G' did for ya. If you see or speak to him,
please tell him Brett says hi and to give me a call. The cell no. I have
for him is no longer in service. He usually calls me when he comes through town and we have some nice matches, and compare new stuff.. I havent heard from him this year. Guidos a great guy and makes a nice hitting cue, and now I see he's into installing sweet lizard... good to know. Thanks.

Very nice wrap. How much didi it cost you if you don't mind or you can PM me. I always wonder why the real lizard wrap it 2.5 times more expensive than the print.

In your honest opinion, how much is a reasonable $ for REAL lizard wrap?

Thank you very much.

Well, for one it involves catching a lizard (har har har), but I think it should be more expensive just because you're killing a lizard to wrap a cue, and Monitor lizards are apex predators and in short supply...at least in their native habitat.

Lizard wraps also wear horribly, whereas the print variety feels nice and lasts forever.

Nice wrap job Arm, you should post some pictures of the forearm of your cue that are up close...really pretty veneers it sounds like.
