Tascarellas

You suck!! Probably picked them up at an estate sale for $25 each, huh! I like the Bushka looking cue. I'll trade you a really nice Meucci for it??

Will look nice among all of your other inventory. Great cues.

Awesome cues, just a few more to add to your already amazing collection. If only I could own one.....

 

[FAST_N_LOOSE]

Thanks Guys For All The Nice Words About The Cues.i'm gonna Take A New Group Photo This Week, I'll Post That When I Get It Done.

Jeff,
The Collector I Got Them From, Asked To Remain Unknown. Sorry, I Have To Honor His Request. Anyway, You Have Way More Connections Than I Do. You Always Seem To Come Up With The Most Amazing Cues.

P.s. I Wish The Pics Were Clearer, The Abalone Has Amazing Depth And Color Toit. It Almost Looks Like It's Underwater, It's That Deep.

 

[FAST_N_LOOSE]

yeah right!
i got connections and you get all the cues!

how many are you up to now?

I'VE SEEN YOUR PICTURES, I THINK YOU ARE THE ONE WITH ALL THE CUES.

I HAVE 13 RIGHT NOW. I CAN THINK OF 4 OTHERS I'D REALLY LIKE TO OWN, BUT SOMEBODY WITH NO CONNECTIONS HAS THEM.

Man you are loaded! You encouraged me to keep my eyes open before but gave no tips on where to look! LOL. Stunning cues man!

if i may, fast,,,,,,,,,,,,what's goin' on the that bottom diamond inlay on the left. it looks really lopsided(i'm not refering to the notches, i mean the shape of the diamong itself)

 

[monski]

I looked again and I'm not sure what diamond is being referred to. If you have photoshop, maybe you can mark it with a circle, arrow or something...

Let me see if I got what bru meant. If this is the one, i think its the abalone inlay combined with the lighting effect... Better pics will answer that.

 

[monski]

If its this diamond, then it looks curved inward which is fine too. Looks like a (pantograph) ivory on ebony inlay.

 

[bruin70]

put your glasses back on bru!
i dont see any lopsided inlays

now,,,,lest you think it's the angle of the photograph(which i took into consideration), look at the diamond above and the two corresponding tiny diamonds in the rings, all of which are good. if the camera distorted, then it distorted ONLY that diamond

the camera is close to level with the bottom part of the butt,,,you can tell this by the curve of the rings, which near the bottom, are almost flat. therefore the bottom diamond should be almost symmetrical as it is flush with the camera. the cue is also turned so that the diamonds are centered. this means that there should be almost no foreshortening(distortion as the surface curves away from the viewer) . yet the bottom diamond is certainly the most lopsided of ALL the diamonds.

i see VERY well, jeff

 

[bruin70]

marcus will prove how bad your eyesite is and how good mine is when he posts a clearer pic

well,,,see now YOUR pic is quite different from fast's.

and you mean,,,he'll prove how bad the first pic is.

btw, fast,,,you KNOW i love your cues.

 

[bruin70]

that is marcus's pic! just cropped, highlighted and cue rotated to vertical

just admit you're blind as a bat!

OH REALLY!!!!!

 

[bogey54311]

ive seen the cue........actually all of marcus' in person.
tascarella must be in the top 3 with the execution of his inlays.
flawless......believe me. thats why his cues command such prices.
perfection comes at a cost.


my 2 cents....

chris

 

[zeeder]

OH REALLY!!!!!

When I look close on my monitor I can see the really dark part of the inlay. Iconcue is right in that the shaded portion is just really hard to see due to the pic and color of the inlay.

 

[FAST_N_LOOSE]

I LEAVE FOR ONE NIGHT AND EVERYBODY'S ARGUING. THE INLAY IS VERY DEEP AND VERY DARK IN THAT CORNER/SIDE. HERE ARE BETTER IMAGES, I HOPE THEY EXPLAIN IT. YOU GUYS HAD ME WORRIED THAT THERE WAS AN IMPERFECTION IN THE CUE THAT I HAD NOT NOTICED. THERE IS NO FLAW, I JUST SUCK AT TAKING PICTURES. I WISH SOMEBODY COULD TELL ME WHAT THE LITTLE FLOWER EMBLEM ON MY CAMERA MEANT, AND WHAT IT DID.

The little "flower" feature on your digital camera is called macro. Macro allows to go up really close to the subject you are taking without losing focus. A reminder....you should not be using zoom while in this mode.

You can try and play around without macro, you will notice that you can not go too close.

Hope this helps...now give me a Tascarella so I can catch up to you! I'm way behind, I only have 2...

" I'm way behind, I only have 2... " LOL

Better than some of us that don't have one at all Woody, hehehe

THANKS FOR THE HELP. I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU IF I COULD GET ONE OF YOUR CUES. TRUST ME, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GET ONE.
