Done in the Balabushka style with 5A birdseye maple forearm with veneer colors (blk, teal, mahog, nat) taken from a Gus Szamboti blank Balabushka owned by Howard K. of Palo Alto, CA. Smooth black leather wrap similar to what is seen on Vintage Balabushka cues. My favorite MOP inlay scheme. Martin

Perfect tribute representation (except the pin style, of course). Very nice!

Great looking cue.. simple, and classic. No doubt a monster player from the other coast. :)

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I'll relay the comments to Ariel. The forearm is cored and the underwrap handle is bocote. Will be posted for sale by next week.

thats MOP scheme is elegant and subtle, i cant stand cues with tons of MOP on it!!
