WOO HOO! I got what I asked for!
So today, the UPS guy brought the cue I had refinished at Proficient!
I am now the proud possessor of a 1st Cat, custom model #10 Palmer with an #11 butt!
Scot really does NICE work, I must say.
I bought the cue off the bay, the end of last month, and it wasn't in the best of conditions-then again, neither is the original owner. :sorry:
The cue was sold by a guy that is trying to recoup funds that have been used for the owner's expenses as he is in hospice care for cancer, and the seller has been helping "Artie" out.
I have had the pleasure of speaking with "Artie", several times, and he told me a couple of pretty neat ( do the kids still use the word neat nowadays?

) stories about himself and the cue.
I pray Artie has a miraculous recovery from his ailment.
( I hope any of you billiard fellas that has a mind to would do the same. )
BEHOLD!... MY BESTEST CUE!:grin:
