Yes, linen. I have never been a big proponent of linen wraps, but some people just have to have them so I do them. Same with stainless joints. A gentleman down in Texas insisted that he had to have a cue built to the same specs as his Gus and talked me into doing a stainless joint cue for him. I have always liked the look of this style of cue but sometimes stainless can really depress the feel of a cue to me.
Thank you, I guess I am a little anal when it comes to the small details. If it does not look right, smell right or sound right, it gets **** canned and I start over. That cue that went to Germany that you speak of....I actually made 3 forearms for it, third time was a charm! .....Thank goodness
I will see what I can do about posting some pictures up here. I am actually working on a new computer and I dont have any of my pictures loaded on this computer so I will have to work at it.
