John did send me a nice 2x4 case a few years ago when my buddy Chad "Big Nasty" Pollman passed away. Raised $700 for his 13 year old daughters college fund. John actually emailed me and offered to do this. Nuff said except thank you again!

Sounds like I am getting strong opinions on the value of this cue. I appreciate that. I am sure if Palmer was still in business it would be the place to have it repaired and refinished. George Balabushka was basically a production style maker and as I understand he farmed out his forearms to...

The cue was originally purchased by a Palmer dealer in about 1980. The cue was a custom order, so it is one of a kind. In 1982 the joint was broken off with a clean break that did not get into the body of the forearm. It has been commented that it is a szamboti Bicentennial forearm. The cue...

will do. Value anyone? PM me thanks

I would talk to Jim at Samsara.

I build LD shafts with a 1/2 inch capped ferule. I have given the thought of no ferule but my biggest concern is chalking damage to the wood right behind the tip. Most LD shafts have a bore hole in the end of them and chalk is a pretty good abrasive against wood. No ferule, not for me.
