Bob Dzuricky is a great guy to work with! Top notch communication and craftsmanship. He completed this Davis blank ahead of schedule and was very faithful to my original design. The inlays at 'c' and 'd' represent a particular pair of drums I play called Tablas, and came out better than I had hoped for. The ferrules and joint are cueball, and Bob's stash shaftwood is very nice! The cue plays strong.
