When I said "no", he responded with "thank you".
I believe my post also provided a comment from Laurie Franklin, who I called soon after buying a South West cue in 1991. I asked about care of the shafts. She told me that if she ever heard of me taking sand paper to the cue, she would take it away from me. Several years later, on an occasion when I sent the cue back for retipping, she asked me what finish I used on my shafts because they had a great feel to them. I told her that was my hand oil. Nothing else.
