James Butters cue

if he did a badged, red glue model (with air dried ash, for Master B) it'd easily fetch a grand

I thought I see blaster make an appearance the other day on here.

Not sure why a badged one should get double the price unless of course the badged one makes potting easier

I'm fairly sure an unbadged JP Ultimate wouldn't be worth more than £200

There have been a few 3/4 Butters with hidden joints from James, on ebay, recently.

Yeah saw the last one. In the Makers box it was listed as a reject, his others usually say butters in the box. Wonder how many spotted that.

I have noticed that my cue doesn't have any oil finish on the cue, what kind of work did you do yours to improve them?

I have some raw linseed oil that I could apply.

So out of interest, what was the total cost after having the work done?

I see quite a few cues that I fancy but which need a bit of work to alter them to what I would like them to be. Unfortunately The only local guy we have is a bit pricey and postage costs back and forth mean its a non starter to buy them.

dave charged me £50 needed tapering down as it was chunky and full refinish which i think daves is the best can't fault his work the 50 included new ferrule tip tapering and full refinish i no there's cheaper cue makers who do good work like andy Travis but for me it as to be a dave coutts finish

[Maverick54]

Sounds fair enough. Hope the cue plays well for you.
