Clint

That is beautiful!
Josh

Thank you Josh!

That is a gorgeous case Rusty!

I've become a huge fan over the years.



Thanks for sharing,
Chris

Thank you Chris, I know what I do isn't everyone's cue of tea, sometimes it has to grow on a person. Either that or they really grow to hate it.

That was a great idea of combining the talents of two of the best, and an excellent piece to hang onto. I also could not help but notice that beautiful German Shepard in the background.Great photos.Thanks for posting them.

Thank you, I think it was Guycrunch who first mentioned the two of us doing a few cases together to Ron. I was just very happy to have been able to do it, how often is it that a new guy has the chance to work on something with someone who has been in the industry for a long time.
The German Shepard is my shop helper Sandy, she's worked on a lot of cases with me.

I usually am not into tooled leather....but that is an amazing case.....beautiful.

Thank you Sir!

Gorgeous!! Do some more!!

Thanks Rich!

Beautiful tooling Rusty! Kind of looks like my King case. Ron's a great guy and I look forward to see more Rusty-Thomas cases!!

Thanks! Al makes some sweet cases with some killer tooling.

Rusty and Ron

I called Ron today and got the idea that its time to buy
I did
I ordered a genuine Ostrich 1x2
a Hair on cow just arrived and

and

one of these Rusty Ron partnership cases
almost or exactly like this one

the best of two worlds

in answer to your question"how did a cheapskate like me get a cue like this"

I sucked it up and paid through the nose

Just because I can't have the best of everything doesn't mean that I can't have the best of anything

I also bought the collie I have been wanting so long

Rusty and Ron are the greatest

I am grateful

Thank you Dean, you are the best. I was getting ready to call you and Ron called and told me you had went on a buying spree. When you want something you go and get it, NOW! I'm still calling you anyway though, just to shoot the breeze.

Great Collaboration! Two great gentlemen as well!

Thank you Troy, you're too kind!

Fantastic...........as always!!

JimmyK

Thanks Jimmy, I really appreciate it!

Rusty and Ron are the greatest

That's definitely a keeper Rusty. Beautiful work sir.

 

[jimmycue]

Wow!

I own cases by both of these gentleman and to see there work come together like this is just like i said in the title WOW! The combination of my two favorite cue case artist's is just unbelievable. Thanks for sharing Rusty.
