I just kinda fell into a cue I like this past week, a 5 veneer Spain blank that was turned into a great cue by Mr. Bushka around 40+ years ago the letter said earily 60's. It is the most amazing blank ever. Every veneer lines up the points, and all veneers and their points are razor sharp and all the razor points are the same length-no tall point/short point cue, most other Spain blanks have some imperfections. The colors are crazy. I'm super tired now-why did I say that?


I wish I could post pics I try and fail again and again, some one pls pm me an email address so we can get this cue out there for people to enjoy. Its an amazing cue and should be enjoyed by all. It has very little play on it for its age, the bumper is all there-but rotted badly(most are worn down some), wrap is clean and the smoothest wrap I have ever felt-ever. Nice rings above the wrap, no inlays. A cool cleap acrylic but sleve that looks into a knereled aluminum bands.

Its the least used Bushka I have ever seen, but I havent seen many. No finish just something like linseed oil polished it feels smooth the veneers didnt swell up or shrink, its triple perfectly straight, its not possible to have a straighter cue. It weighhs 21 oz and is 57.5" and hits the balls hard, i played 2 racks of 9B all I could my back was to bad, it breaks the balls amizingly, but I cant use it as a breaker, i'd like to find a break cue that feels like it does. On slow cloth and mud balls this cue would make any player move the rock with east-it's a bit much on 860.

take care guys, just wanted to share.

THAT IS CERTAINLY AN ODD VENEER COMBO FOR A SPAIN BLANK.....RARE FIND INDEED.
 
more pics soon, sorry for the delay, my back is so bad i cant shoot them, sorry.
 
Veneer colors like that in a Bushka is more than likely as rare as the golden bushka (meaning probably a one of a kind piece). Beautiful cue. Thanks for posting for us to see Ken...
