Beautiful cue, and given the few that John makes, these are very coveted.
It is the Balabushka style, and if there's one thing I would do differently from John, it would be to index the point inlays from the inner veneer, to avoid the secondary inlays being too close, or into, the inner veneer, for concentricity.
Having said that, this is a great cue, and other great cuemakers, such as Steve Klein, do the same thing with point inlays with Bushka style.
Either way, this is one valuable cue. And all this is the truth.
All the best,
WW
