Does it matter if you oil cue much or can it dammage the cue? Should you oil every few months in that case? Cheers :-D

I read on here a while back that 'over oiling' a cue can make the shaft look 'patchy'.

My JP has a really old ash look about it and has become naturally dark. I use raw linseed oil twice a year. The butt has rosewood splices, but these can fade in colour depending on how much I play. I use oil on the lower splices 4-5 times a year.

Boiled linseed is used by some people as it dries quicker. I prefer to use raw linseed oil and leave overnight.
