Joe Callaluca and I have established a great relationship through Guycrunch. As friends and I have also been lending my enjoyment of graphics arts to help Joe with design work.

The cue he is making for me has a Thuya burl nose. 8 points, 4 ebony and 4 holly. The veneers are white, yellow, orange and black. The rings will be double silver rings with ivory dashes and then accents from the veneer colors. The back end will also be thuya with notched diamonds, dots and then barbells between each. Hoppe style ivory ring and black cap.

I think the cue is turning out incredible so far. I would recommend anyone to Joe. He has great talent and is just a super person. His stuff is getting better and better and better. Don't miss the boat. Let him hook you up.

I absolutely love the cue so far. Take a look!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking real nice!

I'll be anxious to see the final product. Really been admiring his work.

That looks amazing. Why 2 different burls though? Why not have thuya burl in the butt end also?

Thanks, I can't wait for another update from Joe. In the next few days he will be installing the handle. It's fun step by step. :)

This cue looks awesome. Very nice colors and layout.

With all of the nice cues you already have, surely you don't need this one as well. Can I please buy this cue out from underneath you?

Keep posting the progress pictures if you will.

Thanks

My first Callaluca will be going up for sale shortly. I love the cue, but with my next one coming up and all the moves I have made lately it's time. This is a great playing cue and has a real simplistic beauty.

The cue has a gorgeous piece of amboyna, bushka rings in all 5 spots, real black lizard wrap (added after these pics were taken), flat face ivory joint and 3 shafts (2 brand new standard and 1 OB-1 that has been played with, but is in great condition) Really sharp 4 piece joint protector set.

Don't really know what I'm going to ask yet. Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks,
Jimmy
