Palmer rebuild

....and the butt sleeve.

Total in-house time was just over two months, which is longer than usual but its an older cue and I took plenty of time since I remade the handle. Also note that two new shafts were made during the same time. Total cost of this rebuild, including the shafts was $650.
 
Great job all the way around...

This is one of the best and most innovative posts that I have seen here.
And even more so as an owner of a Palmer that I have been carrying around for the past 33 years. It does my heart good to see what you have done with this cue.
Great job and a great post.
Kudos.

Ryan,

If you ever need replacement for the clear window material, I have it and I would be glad to send some in any length. The one on this cue looks like the original stuff which was plexiglas. After a few years, Palmer changed over to acrylic because the plexiglas could not hold the pressure from the weight bolt and would deform and get check marks over the years. The newer acrylic tube is very durable.
