very nice cues you have JRC, especially the Glover and ghe Coutts cue. First time seen the sinbin Wooldridge cue, the badge is different from the normal Wooldridge.

Don't really want to get off topic with this thread...some cues of particular historic significance would be kept in original condition as historic artefact in themselves and very collectable..others would benefit from restoration..all down to discretion of collector really.

The ethics of this is quite subjective and we will all have our opinions, as does Chris.

Back to the Andy Travis cue - one piece Maple with African Blackwood and Thuya Burr Butt...really smooth and great playability...well pleased !

Didn't mean to hijack thread, that Travis cue is stunning btw

I disagree that old cues should be left as they are ( although I appreciate you're entitled to your own thoughts on the matter ).
I bought 2 x old EJR snakewood cues which had been found in an old house, that had stood empty for 20+years. The cues came to auction covered in dust, and the pink type skimming plaster, but were then
subject to a sympathetic restoration.
I don't know any collectors that would have them on display covered in plaster & dust, so what would you do if thay came into your ownership ?

My personal opinion is having an old cue turn up in plaster is completely different to restoring a cue that looks old through the years and completely destroying the old factor.
Ive checked a couple of websites including old cues and cue collectors websites and it seems these have left their cues in original condition. Don't get me wrong I'm not disrespecting vintage billiards in anyway i just don't get it to the point it seems like it's defeating the whole appeal & object

I'm sure he's very knowledgable and sure he's a decent guy, im just saying I thought the whole point of vintage cues was to keep them in vintage condition with age, which surely restoring them to new looking is taking away the whole vintage theme.

People who collect vintage cars don't usually leave them as rust buckets they lovingly restore them to their former glory - as long as it is done with respect to original values not really an issue...depends if you collect to play and enjoy as a playing cue or just retain as a historical artefact ...room for both approaches really.

What I can say is that Chris is very knowledgeable and helpful - I have bought two cues from him now and his customer service is excellent.
