Thanks for the answer rbc. Ive had the cue for about two years. I bought it used from a guy who owns a pool hall in town he said it was originally his and he sold and bought it back several times so I'm not sure how old it is. I really like the cue though. what tlc can be done to it I would assume sealing the wood again could the joints be changed? I would like to get it back in the best shape it can be in. Thanks in advance
