There's been a lot of talk here about who makes the best Bushka tribute cue... Well hands down, no competition, none close in my opinion...it's...........TASCARELLA!
Everything is perfect on this Willie Mosconi Balabushka Tribute Cue...Even made with original materials... Thanks Bobby!

No doubt about it ...that's a hands down winner.....but only for the next ten months.

March 2015....that cue gets dethroned......but talk is cheap and so "Hail to the King."

Watch "Game of Thrones" much? Beware "The Ides of March."...a new King will take the crown.

Work has already started......but the new King is yet still a infant and manhood arrives March 2015.

How's that saying go?........Oh yeah, "The King is dead. Long live the King."...Countdown begins now.

p.s. Just pulling on your leg & joking.......Your cue is a beautiful Tascarella.....and truthfully, the heir apparent is really underway.

You have one in the making? I am trying to get him to build one for me.
 
As long as it's a Tascarella then I got no problem passing the crown ;)
Congrats on the future King :smile:

outstanding cue

Skins, you have a great cue, I waited too long. I think it it spectacular. As Ric Flair says, " To be the man, you gotta beat the man!". With this cue, you are the man.

The envious posts, unless they are friends needling you, need to sit in the peanut gallery until they have something to show.

It is a shame when people try and one up a great cue that a member displays.
 
If I had mine before this was to sell from Bobby, this Master Piece would be mine. First time I played with a Tasc :eek: and what I can say, pure Power:thumbup:
If you ever let them go, give me a call Buddy.

Ha....a prince in the wings.......let me give you some advice.

Do not put those two cues in the same case unsupervised.....you're asking for trouble.

One of those cues is definitely going to kill the other because there can only be one King at a time.

And the prince is too darn handsome to just wanna take a back seat & just like in the Vikings, Game of Thrones, The White Queen, DaVinci, etc.,
......two brothers fighting for the crown, well, only one can survive.

I was heard someone refer to cues having personalities. If so, that means jealousy is bound to develop between your two cues. Do yourself a favor
and just make sure you keep the two cues in separate cases.....sort of like Japanese Fighting Fish.

p.s. I also submit that Richard Black makes the most authentic looking George Balabushka design cue of any cue-maker.
It's surely not the best looking Bushka Tribute but it's an absolute dead ringer for a original George Balabushka cue.

Or they will mate to give birth to a Prince Charming or Snow White :grin-square:
 
I met Bobby at the SBE this year. Had a short chat and he showed me this cue. I looked at it and indeed it was a special cue, Congrats!

the bushka tribute by tascarella is very beautiful for sure

Verl Horn made me many of these with red rings,Tim Scruggs and Mike Cochran made me
a tribute of this cue that I wish I still owned,Bob Owen also made me one with the rings and
the mother of pearl

I love this cue design and have to admit that Tascarella did well,but I can not tell which one is the best

When i shut this down I am going to order a Jerry R of this model for myself

I think a little good natured contest for bragging rights might be fun
 
I loved the Mosconi tributes Jerry Rauenzahn pulled off (especially the wrapless version)...the colors in the veneers looked better to me. But you have to give Tascarella the nod in terms of accuracy in the specs and general authenticity. In terms of who's Bushka tributes were the best, Verl Horn made a few that passed for years as authentic among some serious collectors. Steve Klein pulls off nice tributes, too.
 
A Draw Dropper

Your second cue is a draw dropper. Simply knockout! Congratulations! It would be a very tough choice, but a good one either way. Spectacular.
