Peanutbutter... Mystery Cue...

[mr3cushion]

good call. it is 'Guffey-like' for sure.

I have the 'Only' 3C (1991) cue John ever built!

What wrap are you having put on? The same or something different to change things up?

Thought I would put a leather wrap on it, not sure of style yet maybe ostrich.

I showed the pics to John and he said it definitely wasn't one of his... The rings forward of the grip were something he said he never did.

Thank you for doing that, I really appreciate it!

Now we're back to square one!

Another collector friend suggested Tice but I don't know his cues either.

I definitely prefer the linen wrap over leather but please update us when you get the cue back. Id love to see the difference after the refinish.

I was in no way "shitting" on someone's cue...wow I was actually complementing the flooring. No wonder people are apprehensive to post

It truly is a well done floor! clean lines, even grout joints, not super wide grout joints, Nice and flat with no high or low tiles. Ya know, The way it should be but usually isn't.

Old school KU bumper.
I like the cue.
I'd do a dark brown linen with reddish/orange specs.

Going with the floor as well. Tastefully restrained and masterfully realized.

Guys, ....this is all about the cue LOL

My vote is for black sting ray wrap

I hate the feel of new (modern) linen, it lacks the tack and compactness of the old school Cortland or even vintage braided dacron.

I know of one maker that has a stash of the really good old stuff but he will only use it on select cues and it's only green spec.

So sadly I naturally head toward leather wrap vs new linen.

My vote for leather would be either smooth black pigskin or lightly textured black leather. I tend to like the simpler wraps, though. The more exotic stuff tends to take away from the rest of the cue in my eyes. Now... If it was a jet black ebony or maple plain jane, that's where the more exotic stuff looks nice. Again, just my opinion.
