**Post Pictures of your cue!**

I didn't even move the badge from day one, and really no idea how to fix it. It's better to send back to the cue maker and ask him to fix for you by a just a little money return.

That's too expensive on my side just to make the badge straight again. Guess I'll use the hair dryer method and give it a try.

Yes, it is Thuya Burr.

I remember I ordered it on Septmeber 2006 and this cue was ready to pick around January 2007, it was really fast to compare nowadays.

That's like a sprint in waiting times .......now it's like waiting for Haley's Comet

How do you fix a badge back to the original spot? My cue's badge has turned and slanted more to the right. Its the round kind. Using a heat gun to heat up then superglue it back?

Don't worry Mike, I'll remove it from temptation for you. .

Yep as far as I've seen all EJ Riley cues of this period were lacquered originally.
I think Tony Glover still lacquers his snakewood cues to try and prevent cracks/splits and drying out, like trying to hold back the tide though, snakewood does what it wants!

well iv never see or touched the wood before, not even see a snakwood cue before, only in pictures. interesting what you say about it, i didn't know it was so mercurial. iv worked with bloodwood and thats got a life of its own

You sure know how to upset people

well I've deleted it now even though there was no malice in my post intended just repeating what I've heard

[jrc750]

Am I right in believing that chevrons like your mates woods cue means it's a very cheap wood used or something along those lines
