Yes Sir
By far, one of my most challenging restorations to date. I kept everything original, epoxied the broken pieces back together except for the obvious broken butt cap and M. O. P. Rings at the -A- joint. New joint screw and stainless joint. Made a cup holder for each piece in the bottom, bored it and epoxied phenolic rings under them for consistancy in re-fitting them. I look back and smile now but the challenge almost broke me.

Dang

Hot diggity, that looks great! Thanks for the report and pics!!! Love these old cues they have so much character!
 
Amazing! Did you think it would look this good when you started? That was as grungy a cue as I recall ever seeing.
 
Thank you Gentlemen. I start with positive thoughts and hope for the best. In my customers letter, he just asked for me to do what I could.
