Here's a chance to get a fancy looking full splice cue that can be used both as a player and a showpiece item. I listed this cue about a year back, but the economy wasn't too great at the time. Hoping to see some more interest now.

Cory Barnhart Full splice with 4 veneers (orange, green, black, natural), points line up. We all know how much people love full splice cues for playability. This cue was made from a John Davis blank. I got this cue back in 09, so it is one of Cory's earlier pieces.

Joint is a 1 inch solid ivory flat-face joint.

Hoppe Ring is made of ivory.

All Ringwork is Cory's signature silver dot ringwork.

Pin is G10 Radial for better balance.

Wood is Goncalo Alves spliced into straight grain maple. Great figure on the Goncalo Alves. Has Cory's signature silver dot ringwork at the joint and butt. Cue is in pristine condition, and does not wobble together or apart when rolled.

Has 3 shafts (all Cory's) of which one was test hit with, but unchalked.

Ferrules for the 2 normal shafts are believed to be Aegis and are 3/4".
The old growth shaft's ferrule material is unknown. Also 3/4".

The two standard shafts have layered tips, the 3rd special Old Growth wood shaft has a single layer tip.

Shaft 1 is 3.8 oz. Test hit without being chalked.
Shaft 2 is 3.9 oz. Pristine.
Special Old Growth Shaft is 4.1 oz. Pristine.

Butt is 15.1 oz.

This cue is in near-mint condition. I cannot find any flaws, and am only calling it "near-mint" because I did not receive it directly from Cory.

Asking for $1200 shipped in the 48 states. Paypal preferred. A fair price IMHO, considering the amount of Ivory, the fact that it's a FS conversion from a Davis blank, and the inclusion of an extra old growth shaft.

This one's a pic showing how tight the grain is on the old growth shaft.
