Cue Engraving
FastnLoose and fellow Readers,
For two days I have been attempting to attach and post a photo of a beautifully engraved Balabushka, however due to my limited computer skills on this board I have been unsuccessfull.
The cue was very tastefully engraved with the owner's name on the retangular mother-of-pearl name plate by the late George Balabushka (same type and location of the M-O-P inlay as FastnLoose's Tascarella cue). This type of personal engraving was very popular in the late 60's and 70's.
If someone can tell me how to post the photo or if you send me your Email address I will happy to forward the photo.
Best Regards,
Hal

The cue above with the engraving is for sale on www.billiardcue.com.

I'm not questioning the cues originality, but I highly doubt George did the engraving on that cue and I doubt (Unless he has training I don't know about) that Pete will engrave on MOP. MOP is tough to engrave on because of chipping. I'm sure it can be outsourced as I'm pretty sure George did, I'm also sure someone can set up their CNC to do the work, but I doubt George's CNC machine had those advanced tecniques.

It could be done in the butt cap. Keith McCready's name is engraved in the butt cap of his new playing cue just built for him. It was done after discussing cues he has owned in the past.

That's a great cue jack, but I'm guessing from seeing the pics your shop is a bit more advanced then George's was :-D And the word I got from my expert was that MOP chips easy and you need to take a few special steps when doing this type of work.

Chris, That's The Cue. Greg Howard Had The Cue At One Point And Took Those Pics, And Sent Them Out.
