Nothing is wrong with it. An oil finish is just not as durable or permanent. My personal cue is oil-finished, and I like the feel of it.

Yeah, if you're making the cue for yourself, it's great! But you won't sell many of them with an oil finish. People want the ultra shiney auto finishes.

just more hot air!

Oh, and the cue I made for Raphael Martinez was oil finished. He ordered it that way.

Would the application process be the same, as in apply heavily then sand at 240 and keep applying and sanding down till i hit aobut 1200 grit?
