Wanting to wrap this old Mali

This was my fathers first cue and I would love to get in back playing. It has alot of sentimental value to me. Do you know of a place online that would put on a leather wrap? I would also like to get a new shaft, possibly a LD for it. Is it possible to match that collar? I know this seems like alot of money for a cue not worth much, it would just mean alot to get it back on the table. Thanks

Stack leather wrap


And if you're going to be at SBE, you can have the Tiger folks put on a nice stack leather wrap for you, right in their booth. Turn-around time is usually a couple hours -- drop it off, go play a set or three, come back, and it's done!

Many more motifs and colors besides what's shown in the link above, btw. You can get a good sense of the variety available through their online .PDF catalog (see page 8 onward):

Hope this is helpful!

P.S.: I'm bringing down a couple cues to have Tiger install a stack leather wrap on them -- it's my preferred wrap of choice.

Did you view the content in the URLs I posted? Stack leather is in essence a one-piece soft leather "cord" that is tightly wound, flattened, and pressed onto your cue's gripping area (after the previous wrap is first removed and the bare wrap area prepared, of course). When the wrap is installed, it has no seam, is completely smooth (or it can be impressed/embossed with whatever texture you want), and is very decorative as well.

It's hard to explain "the look" of it, because there are many. That's why I recommend taking a peek at those links I shared. Just keep in mind there are several different motifs -- some look like a barber's pole; others look like marble (the stone); others look like mosaic tile; and others are completely one-color-smooth.

In a word, they're beautiful. As for what they feel like, they're between a regular leather wrap, and no wrap at all (i.e. wrapless). Stack leather is probably the closest you'll get for a wrap to "feel" wrapless. And it's got a nice "tack" to it as well -- the human skin grips it quite well.

Hope that helps. Take a peek at those URLs when you get a chance, and it'll give you a better feel for what they look like, as well as the variety available.
