You could feel everything, basically 8 sides. But you evaluate, make a decision and hope. You get one shot and the window is small and limited to approximately the size of the finish your going to apply to it or within reason.

Wow. Almost hard to believe that cleaned-up.
Is this where you tell me you got lucky? Nice clean up Mike.
I'm starting to seal it.

More when finished.
Coming along nice Mike! It'll be a gem and better than original when done.
Congrats to the owner
Mike looks great, I'm in the middle of a Palmer restoration myself,crazy stuff he did back in the 60's. wound up having to ditch the handle-forearm was tapered funny and i don't mean ha ha funny, all in all a real piece of work. Thanks for the pics, cue really looks good.........Ray Weeks
This is very cool! Is it going to be wrapless now? Does the weight change much or does the finish cancel out the wood, and grime, that was removed? Thanks for posting things like this Mike!
There's a couple of good guys here that have extensive knowledge of Palmers. Thier input has helped me over the years. Type 79 and Classic cues. Great people.
