  • Cue Referb

    Hi people

    I have a Peradon custom made cue which I’ve been using for about 6 years now, absolutely love it and really do not want to change... However it could do with a refurb

    The butt is very worn and want the remaining lacquer on it taken off, couple of dings in the shaft, needs a new Ferrell, etc etc so it needs a bit of a refurb/tidy up and a good treatment of beeswax or something, yes I could probably do all this myself however I don’t want to wreck it!

    any places that can do this? I have found a place called TW cues which offer this service but they are away on holiday now and I need it done asap

    cheers

    TW is for Tony Wilshaw? I think he has retired.

      Well I rung the number on their website and they are still trading, perhaps not with Tony Wilshaw though...

        still in business.

        I think you'll find everyone is busy at the mo and will need your cue for a week or two.

        Search on the forum, theres loads of places capable of doing this for you.

                            you're right, it IS better than when it was new.

                            it's had the special wooldridge magic treatment...

                              lol...

                              i may not be the cheapest, but i'll leave bargain prices to the wannabes. there's plenty of 'repairers' out there who seem to think they've done a good job when they stick a ferrule back 'on the p*ss'.

                              mind you, there's also some 'reputable' cue makers who i wouldn't let within a hundred miles of touching a cue judging by the bodge jobs i've seen.

                              me, i'll do it well first time, charge accordingly, then sit back and light my cohiba with another fifty pound note....
