    I have some, but to be honest i don't like the finish it produces if you go by their instructions. Too glossy and sticky imo.

    If you buff it while it is isn't quite dried it produces a satin finish which isn't bad

    Someone once mentioned some gun-stock stuff which is longer lasting than linseed oil, but I can't find it on ebay at the mo.

    Any idea what I can use to bring the shine back on the butt. Too dull for my liking?

    but someone who uses a computer and does not know how to attach photos to an email? dodgy?

    Hi guys below is some pics of my purchase. John Parris Exclusive 3/4

    SOLD I am now the proud owner of a John Parris Exclusive, picked it up last night I will post photos later today. No extensions but I found the extensions for my cheaply Woods cue fit and also my Yiang Yang but both extensions are the short style 27" anyone know where I can get a mini extension and normal extension or should I just order them from Parris website? Also the butt is very dull, what does everyone use to make it shine?

    That is my favourite style of butt! Four secondary splices straight to the ebony is very classy. Let us know how it plays once you get it cueman...
