Glad you guys got it all figured out and I'll have to work on my "common" I guess. If you read my post I didn't say anything about a refinish, I said a restore. My cue has a wobble and the quote was to replace the handle, refinish, re-wrap, fix some chipped veneers, and I was going to get another shaft made too. Like a lot of old cues it's 57", so wanted to get one standard length shaft for it. I know what Ryan and Proficient charge for a refinish but that's "common" right? You're right, amazing AZ posters....
Yep, you got us. I think the best thing for you is to spend the $450 with Viking.
