Art Cantando Just Awesome!! 2 of the last cues

Hello Azer's

I was ask by the Cantando Family and The Szamboti Family to post pics of 2 of the last cues Art was making, These Cues are in the private colloection of Robert Feldman and he also wanted them to be shared with the world.

Art was the finest man and just and Awesome cue maker and a good friend. He will always be missed.

Art Cantando made both butts Real Gold ,Sivler and Ivory and then Barry Szamboti finished the cues with doing the wrap,finish, shafts and JP's.

SORRY FOR THE TITLE THERE BUT I WAS TOLD BY BARRY THERE IS MORE THEN FOUR BUT NOT SURE HOW MANY BUT JUST A FEW UNFINISHED CUES,,

Enjoy the Pics,

Super elegant cues. I feel like I should have a top hat on just looking at the pics.

Thanks for the post

These are some sweet cues. Those inlays will always be associated with Art Cantando. He did them so well and balanced both cues from top to end with just the right amount of pazzaz. He will be missed at SBE.

those are so awesome!!!!

I'm so lucky to have talked to Art on the phone a few times, I wish I would have been able to meet him. He had a passion for life that reminds me of my mom, coincendently today is her B-day, if she was alive she would be 83 I think. :frown::frown:

I know finishing these up was a labor love for Barry. Thanks for allowing us to be a small part of that. Wonderful stuff.

Thank you for sharing Art's work, I will miss seeing his new work. I was
always looking forward to seeing bigger and bigger cues being commissioned. Mostly, I will miss speaking with Art and hearing his voice and jokes. I really appreciate this thread!
