Wow, this cue is going to be amazing! I love those inlays in the points, might be the best point inlays I've ever seen. Has a lovely balance that echoes the butt sleeve inlays.
 
Thoughts..............Jealousy.........Envy.........Lust..........Admiration.........Astonishment...........want some more you dirty rotten show-off.

How many of the outstanding Jerry R. masterpieces do you have counting this one.....at least 3, maybe 4......and every one is a great cue.

Time for you to come up with another new theme design for a 2016 cue........that Color of Money cue John Marshall ordered is so cool.

Jerry told me he'll complete my Bushka II Project (Deanoc) cue by May well before enactment of the new CA ivory ban effective 7/1/16.

Looks like you will be playing with your gorgeous Dove cue before Thanksgiving arrives. Congrats on a design that's as good as anyone else's version.

Your Cue Is Spectacular

Anyone living in California desiring a great Bushka design cue with ivory adornment or cue joint will be missing out on a great opportunity to get one from Jerry..........look at the Mosconi design cue you have, and this one........I adore the one he made for me and so with the ban, it is my last opportunity to order another cue from Jerry before than ban takes effect.

I updated Brandon Wong about the ivory ban when I made his acquaintance a few weeks ago. He intends to order a new custom so it can be completed before the ivory ban takes effect. If we hadn't discussed ordering a custom cue with ivory, he would have missed out because of the lead time to get a fancy player made to his specs instead of just settling for someone's cue at the last minute before 7/1/16. Personally, if I wasn't already on board and also owned several ivory joint cues, rest assured I'd be calling Dean to get on board with the Bushka Project II ordering a fancy ivory joint cue at a incredible price. When my cue is completed, I expect there'll be some Azers in CA that will come to regret missing out on this opportunity.

Back to this Dove cue, I know yours will be a strong contender for Cue of The Year 2015.......you had a contender in last year's contest......this is becoming an annual event for you........keep up the great work......it becomes expensive but your collection is being really well assembled.......Cudos.

FYI.....Mr. Campbell posted a new thread on the FS Section about this Bushka II Project...........

Mike & I are on board with Bushka II.......8 more buyers needed for a cue drawing....... special price for a Bushka.

This Dove cue of Mike's isn't a Bushka......it was a one of a kind cue built for Miz but hardly can be viewed as a Bushka design.

Finished pictures. All I can say, is that it turned out way better than I thought possible.

WOW, all I can say. This is my third cue from Jerry. Got rid of all my other cues. He needs to be in the Cuemakers Hall of Fame!
