3 Jim Buss cues!!!

Most of you haven't been aware of this cue maker but still there are lots of you who know pretty well who he is!
In my opinion he is one of the all time greatest and actually he teached Josh Treadway to build cues. Josh was his apprentice and he took over his shop when Jim went in retirement.
Jim Buss has been an electrician engineer and was assigned to work on classifield Air Force Space Systems and did support work for NASA what makes him the only scientist among cuemakers!
Well, pretty great background what certainly gave him a lots of knowledge!
He was introduced by pool cues building ny Bert Scrager!
So, here are a few pics of one of three Jim Buss cues I have in my collection....one of them was publushed in Blue Book of Pool cus

Enjoy😁

Very nice.I like the ring work in the middle one. I read in the blue book. Before he did his day job with NASA, he would work all night, on his cues!!
 
Used to see him around Cue & Cushion (Houston) on occasion. If I recall correctly, I think he must have been in his 30s then. I think he had only been building cues for a few years at the time. Did nice work, though.
