Silver Weston cue

Here is one that came in for restoration after it helped Derek Daya to a 3rd place finish in the Open at Super Billiards Expo. This cue is one of the Ebony and Silver series that Weston did back in the day. This one suffered a broken cap that we were able to preserve part of to maintain the logo. Complete refinish, new lizard, and all prettied up. We hear its already back winning matches. In the last picture it shows how the last time this cue was refinished it wasn’t sanded properly and the silver looking flat wasn’t polished and has scratches. It makes all the difference when it is done properly. Now the silver shines and jumps right out at you. This cue is a monster and so is the player using it.
