I am not a fan of Tasc inlay work.

That a fabulous cue. Vibrant and alive, he draws your eyes all over it!
That negative fella is just a little negative is all.
You guys that can spot a Tasc wrap a mile away could you please share what it is you are seeing? It seems its like the Gina railroad tracks, yet poor me, I don't see it (I know Ken I'm not the expert you say I think I am).
Thanks
Kevin
Tascarella cues often use smooth leather executed perfectly. Ginacues, as you are surely aware, tend to have index lines at the top and bottom of the wrap as a function of Ernie's method of installation. I didn't notice such lines on this cue which said Tasc to me. I've seen this old school style in Balabushka and Szamboti cues but most leather wraps today have texture. Tascarella, in maintaining a traditional appearance, uses the smooth classic leather, installed without railroad tracks at top and bottom, more often than most.
I find threads much more interesting when people post their honest opinions verses just a "badwagonning" thread.
.....I too have never found myself impressed with Tascarella inlay work...
The cues are quite often deliberately traditional and austere in aesthetics. To me, they are not much to look at...
