Here is a really, really nice cue by Cory Barnhart. This is a real masterpiece, absolutely loaded with ivory and turquoise. The oval inlays in the butt are connected by perfectly executed mitered arches, giving the entire butt inlays the appearance that they are one piece.
I have been attempting to get pix which would show the quality of the inlay/miter work. It is really difficult to do without specialized equipment, but I included a few new ones.
This cue is in excellent condition. One shaft has had very light play, and one is unchalked/unplayed.
Specifications:
- Butt: 15.7 ounces
- Shaft 1: 4.2 ounces, 12.9mm, Ivory ferrule, Moori
- Shaft 2: 3.9 ounces, 12.3mm, Ivory ferrule, Moori (..if the buyer prefers, I will substitute a new 12.8mm, 4.0 ounce shaft with Aegis ferrule for the thinner shaft.)
- Stainless radial pin, Ivory sleeved wood to wood joint
- Black phenolic joint collars with Cory's signature silver dot inlay ringwork
- Fancy silver dot ringwork at all 5 positions, 220 silver inlays in all
- Very nice birdseye forearm
- Five ebony points with four veneers, white, blue, white, black
- Fancy ebony/ivory speartip on each point
- Perfectly executed black textured leather wrap
- Solid ebony butt sleeve with large ivory and turquoise inlays, inlaid with more silver dot inlays
- Five Tiffany diamonds inside the turquoise rings with silver dots in the center
- Solid ivory butt cap protected by a black phenolic end piece
- Signed "Barnhart" in the butt sleeve
Cory had this cue at the Super Billiards Expo for $2650....
SOLD!!
