**Post Pictures of your cue!**

Some people want the badge facing up and the grain to the side see bud, or the buyer wanted the badge to the side and arrows on top,etc etc... Not everyone wants to sight down the arrows or have the badge up bud, Nothing odd there man

The cue that Jason Owen is making for me is like that. I have asked him to make it so when the adage is facing up, the arrows will be at 9 o'clock, as I like to have the badge side facing into my palm.

That parris traditional on the last page looks a bit odd, seems to have the grain down the side of the cue instead of aligned with the badge?

Snooker's available as a CCA nowadays? Goodness, how things have changed. Snooker had a not too wholesome reputation during my school days. I still remember playing truant just to while away at a smoky snooker "club" with rather shady characters.

You need to apply thin coats and let it dry before buffing. Also, make sure the cue is clean first using a damp cloth as mentioned above. Then dry with a towel before applying the Linseed.

Thanks for the tip. Just applied a thin coating of the linseed oil. Will leave it overnight to dry up and wipe it the next day.

Don't sand the cue or you'll strip the finish off the wood. Bare wood deteriorates and you're going to ruin your cue. No doubt the cue will feel smoother immediately after sanding but it will roughen up in no time. Then sand again? You're going to end up with a matchstick for a shaft... Lol.

If you have a particularly sticky or dirty shaft, apply a thin coat of cue oil, wipe off the grit with paper napkin then buff dry with a soft cloth. Otherwise just wipe it down with an almost dry towel then quickly buff dry with a soft cloth. If it's in that bad a shape, invest in a new one... Mastercues and Omins are readily available here and they are as good as any. Good value for money and will serve you well for many years to come if you maintain it properly.

I don't have cue oil but I did purchase this raw linseed oil. I already applied it but I believe I applied too much from the start and it became squeeky instead of smooth. I then use alcohol wipes to clear it off and now I'm back to square one again. Basically the previous owner mentioned that this cue has been in his case for more than 5 years without maintenance. I'm getting a little confused here. Some people say apply raw linseed oil and leave it over the night to dry for 1 night. Others say just buff it.

I want to have those smooth finish but I have no idea where to start. I don't want to spend so much first because I'm still a noob and starting slow that's why I bought this 2nd handed cue.
