restoring 2nd hand pool items

[blackflagsailor]

I've been hitting the local garage sales lately and found quite a collection for pretty cheap this summer.

A corner table / cue rack stand
wall cue rack / ball rack
dartboard cabinet
2 pub style par stools
complete set of Aramith premier balls, heavily pitted though
Plastic standard triangle
2 two piece cue sticks - don't know a brand. both are pretty nice and feature mother of pearl inlay. One is a 20oz
3 Valley house cues. Two 20oz, and a 21oz.
a vintage bridge stick but the tip is damaged.

The corner table and wall rack I'm doing to sand and refinish.

Most of the cue sticks have slight warp just before the tips when you look down the cue. Can this be fixed? Is this really a problem I should worry about?

I think you should post that in Ask the Cuemaker section. AFAIK that could be fixed pretty easily, and sometimes you could even do that yourself. But if that warp stays you'd better ask for a professional help. But the question is if it is worth tring to fix, the price could be well over what the stick costs.

A warp in a finish sized shaft usually can not be fixed. Whether it's enough to matter is up to you. The ball is 2.25" and the pockets are usually 4.5"+ . . .

Double check the vintage and collectibility of any furniture BEFORE you start to refinish. Depending on the piece a refinish may destroy its value.
