The Last Bushka
Let me start by saying, I have never had the funds for a high end cue before, but a friend of mine has always let me testdrive his cues over the years, just to list a few,
Ginacue, Kersenbrock, Tascarella, 3 Showman, Tucker and a sweet Gus.
So when Deanoc posted on AZBilliards Forum around June 30, 2014,Jerry Rauenzahn would make any style Bushka, I had to take him up on this.
Design specs: Points to be made up of 100% wood veneers no stained wood. Black ebony (Macassar), Gold colored wood (not yellow), African Padauk, natural and black ebony.
Ivory or bone for the ring in the forearm. Ebony butt to DELRIN with Padauk rings with MOP spots and four notch diamonds no name plate.
The MOP diamonds to line up with the points on the forearm of the cue.
Black leather wrap or black linen and white specks.
Weight of cue to be from 19.5 to 20 ounces.
3 shafts with 1 inch ivory ferrules, 2 Shafts to be 12.75 and 1 to be 13.0
Like Deanoc said, Jerry makes one hell of a cue, that I have had it since 6/11/2015. I have enjoyed every night of APA pool with it.
My friends and I would say it compares in everyway to one of the cues listed above, now for the pics.
