Walker's George Balabuska Cap Set.
I got the honor to make this Cap Set for Walker's historical cue..
Made by a Great Cuemaker and played by a great Pool Player, Jim Mataya.
Here's the link:

White Rings are Ivory...
Couldn't find the Matching Green Marble, but, I'm glad that Walker understands.
He told me "There's very little chance of finding something that was made 42 Years Ago"..
:eek: Man, ain't he calm and cool!!!

Thanks Walker...

Hey Guy, Thanks!! The design had to be thought out..
Walker's Buska Cue has a small .740" Joint Diameter and a deep pilot counterbore (1/4"), so, I could not make the cap in direct proportion with the Butt Sleeve. The Ivory Rings would be too thin and might crack with a climate change. And, the tendon would be so thin, it would not be solid.

I thought my caps looked like pieces of Japanese Candy.. Chocolate, white mint, green mint gel and black licorice.. mmmm....:smile:
Thanks for all the comps...
Walker, I'm glad you like them..
Thanks for being patient..
