Hello ,

I am getting pretty anxious as I sat in my House with this lockdown. I would be happy to just go to a restaurant and sit down for lunch but those days seem behind us for a while. I have read thread's , even posted some myself , about Balabushka replica's and tributes. How about those who are fortunate enough to actually own real Bushka's please show us a nice pic of it so we can appreciate the Man who made them and the work he created. Show off those Bushka's in pride and celebrate one of the finest cues ever made. I wish I had one , but really enjoy seeing others .

I would not say that I am that bored my Friend , I just thought since we had the adams threads about replica's and so fourth it would be neat to see some of George's work and the Cues he produced himself. I know some members here have one or 2 and the stories behind them would be neat. You see in my neck of the woods it would be impossible to see one as nobody has one to see , so pic's is all we have to look at. The Balabushka / Rambo cues have been discussed lately with varying questions and I thought it would be neat to see some actual Cues he produced, My Bad. By the way some of please don't quit your Day Job.

I am very surprised by that last one, because it has a BEM forearm, and Balabushka is known to be against using BEM in his forearms, and preferred to use Straight Grain Maple instead.
