Need A Refinish

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, please forgive me if it is not.

I purchased a dufferin conversion from an AZ member. After receiving the cue and playing with it for a few weeks, the finish seems a bit 'rough' or rubbing off. The person who converted this also tapered the butt to 0.840'' at the joint and around 1.21'' +/- towards the tail end. After visual inspection after a few weeks of play, I can actually see the 'sanding' marks from the sandpaper or whatever was used to taper this butt down.

My question is, what reputable cue maker can refinish this cue (BUTT ONLY), for an affordable price with a decent turnaround?

Note: I'm not interested in a 'weekend warrior' cue maker. No offense to anyone, I'm sure there are quite a few good weekend warriors, but in my defense, I bought this cue from a weekend warrior, and just don't want to take a chance.
Also, I offered this cue to my local cue maker and he declined to work on it without seeing it, due to him not knowing who originally worked on it and the chance this was the original finish - which he noted a 'pain' to deal with.

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ask around for Mike Webb, he should be in your neighborhood.
If you want it done right his finish-work is flawless.

I just talked to Mike the other day about refinishing a cue for me but he politely apologize to me that he wasnt taking any work at this time.
 
If Mike says he's not taking work, he's not taking work. That's certainly his right.

KJ, I know Mike Webb very well, he does ALL my cue work.
Unfortunately, he declined due to the possibility of the 'house cue' finish still being on the cue.

Nobody wants to sand that THICK UV finish.:D

Mike Webb sure has a beautiful AND very durable finish.
He paid his dues. It took him a lot of tears to get there.
 
Mike ended up taking a look see and it wasn't the "house cue" finish originally thought to be on there.
He refinished the cue and it is A+ work as always with Mike Webb. Very satisfied.
Thanks to KJ as well.

(KJ; Mike said Thank you Sir!)
