Kinda funny thread....
Anyway, to answer the question, once its been cut and jointed that is as good (or bad) as it will ever look. From now on all you can do it try and keep from banging it around when apart (damaging the wood around the joint) and always store its parts together, ideally even keeping it assembled, so as the wood ages or gets effected by light and such the woods will 'change' together and on the same sides.
But I guess I'm with the others, it's not a sneaky if it is in fact actually.....just a house cue.
There's literally nothing to hide. Lots of local players have a favorite house cue, they just don't take it home with them.
Well most don't.
Whether or not the joint is 'visiable' is really a strange concern to have IMO. In fact many house cues have the joints exposed even tho they don't even come apart anymore.
Either way, enjoy it if it works for you.
