Linseed Oil Or Varnish ?

[Mellow Yellow]

thnks checkside - glad your dad likes the cue - for information purposes this was made as a 1 piece ash shaft with 4 ebony splices, 4 tulipwood splices and matching small tulipwood extension - cut at 3/4 point above the splices - grain matched and jointed and finished with our new finishing process that has been mentioned in this thread

This cue sounds beautiful! how much would this cost to have made?

do you have any pictures?

Hi Keith: What is best an available to the common person to protect the butt if it is beginning to wear. I want to protect the multi-splices.
Thanks

What do you mean by "beginning to wear"?

I guess the only way I can describe it is that the cue has been used alot and whatever it might have been sealed with may be gone or worn off.

Hi Everyone, i have recently got a new cue and had to have some work done on the shaft, it came back with no protection on the shaft, so what is the best, a few layers of linseed oil, or a few light coats of varnish, or perhaps a combination of both. ?

Linseed Oil. Apply lightly and leave to dry overnight. Then wipe clean with damped cloth. Every few months if playing/transporting in cold weather times. My experience
