I am starting a new listing for this cue because I made a mistake in the original posting.

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. It was originally designed and built for WPBA star, Sarah Rousey, but she and Cory decided to go with another cue, instead. There were no corners cut on the construction of this cue.

Cory had this cue listed for $2650 at the Super Billiards Expo. It is in excellent condition. One shaft has had very light play, and one is unchalked/unplayed. I am selling this cue for a friend who really hates to see it go, but tough financial times make it necessary. He is primarily looking for a cash sale, but will entertain trade (up to half of the sale value) and cash offers.

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
- 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

SOLD!!

The statement "It was originally designed and built for WPBA star, Sarah Rousey, but she and Cory decided to go with another cue, instead." explains the slim butt IMHO. Most of Cory's cues that i have asked so far are over 1.25 in the butt. The guy knows what he is doing for sure. He is very serious cuemaker. Costas

Great observation, Costas. It feels great in my hands, but then I don't care for the fat butt cues.
