6 point BURTON SPAIN

Very nice. I do not think that is too plain at all. In fact any more may detract from its beauty.
I got the chance to play with a buton spain cue many years ago. I did not have a true appreciation of it at that time, but I still thought it played great even then.
Awesome cue. I love the points, and how they overlap.

Perfection achieved through simplicity. A complex simplicity, I might add.

Steve,
Now that's cool!
That's the first six pointer that I have seen.

Nice piece of cuemaking history Tikkler. I have a friend who bought a cue in 1980 from a guy who made cues in his basement here in Chicago. It is a plain jane birdseye with green, yellow and white rings. At the same time, I purchased my McDermot C-3. Had I known that the guy would become one of the most respected cuemakers of the time, I would have got one too. Of course, it was Burton Spain. My friend was actually in his basement to pick up the cue. It has the same joint as your cue, except for different colored rings. I think he paid $50 for it barely used. Today it is probably worth $1000.
That is a show-off.
A show-off from Burton Spain himself!
Showing his incredible talents and knowledge regarding building forearms (and cues as well!!!).
To me, this is the most valuable piece of your collection.

You are probably right paulybatz that's probably what it would take to pry it from his hands, as he would never sell it (I tried).
Hey pooh if you take a look at tikkler's (don't mean to steal his thunder) 11 cue post, you will see another nice Spain that he has.

Thank you for letting me know, I did see that Moon design cue he has! It looks stellar as well
Those 'Moon' inlays flow round the butt sleeve.I like the joint rings on this 6 pointer, as the white joint meets the same white on the shaft's collar.
Christmas being a time when everything flashes and sings, all places are busy and full and you can't really look at anything without seeing at least one of the above...
I found this cue, on which I can give my eyes and mind a rest.
I thought I should give it a bump so others can see it again, maybe it's like an oasis these times.
P.S.: I like Christmas but it gets too much sometimes

A plain Spain is better than a fancy Jane.
Very nice and I bet it plays like a dream.
