    Just a give your cue a wipe with a damp cloth and dry it straight away from time to time......

    A cue with a good finish on it shouldn't need anything doing to it apart from that.

      Agree with you Jimmy .....never put anything on my cues after I read the post from Trevor White saying that it was not necessary .

      Just a good rub on the shaft suffices
      Still trying to pot as many balls as i can !

        Not sure about some cues but yeah, I never put anything on my TW. No need to really. The finish is perfect as it is. To do so is akin to adding legs to the painting of a snake... i.e. pointless and worse still, the work of art is ruined.

        A common wood finishing oil I've read is linseed oil. Thing is to apply sparingly and lots of buffing in between coats, lots.

            I was the same when I bought my first handmade cue, but I've learnt on here it's best to leave it if it was well finished in the first place, my current gbl is a beaut and I don't believe I will touch it with anymore oil again...

              On the Parris website, they list "Cue oil", which they say their cues are finished with...

              On the bottle it says "Raw linseed oil".

              Is this the exact same 'Raw linseed oil', available in Homebase for £6 or so for 500ml?
