The great news is the fact you brought the questions to the right place, there are some wonderful people in here who can do the job so well you would never know it was Linen in the first place.
Thanks, It's just a cue that i have been looking at, but have not seriously considered it due to the linen wrap. I guess next question would be an apx cost to have this done. I am not interested in highly textured leather wraps, but like the smooth to finely textured ones. I also like no wrap also. I am looking for a new cue that interests me, and have a few brands in mind, but I was just wondering if it would be possible if I saw a cue that I really liked except for the wrap. I am not an impatient person, and have no problem waiting till I find one that I like, but do not care to wait 2 years or so, to have one made.
Ariel's wrap channel depth is usually cut to near .023 which is generally the thickness range of the standard cue wraps I sell to him and others. The work is no problem at all for the competent cuemakers and repair guys. Smooth leather requires a bit more care with the installation than textured leather wraps. Good luck!

Make sure the leather you choose has the right tack for your grip. I sold my custom ordered 1976 Zamboti a couple years after I got it because the leather was too slick/slippery. That was my fault.
