My new Barnhart player....

Well, after almost 1 1/2 years in the making, I picked up my new Cory Barnhart player today. It is an awesome cue. Nothing was compromised in the build of this cue. The full-splice blank was a premium John Davis 4 point museum grade cocobolo into very nice birdseye with 4 flame veneers. Both of the shafts are old-growth...1 is curly maple, the other is birdseye maple. The ferrules are Westinghouse yellow micarta.

Cory did all the inlay work by hand, and it consists of silver and ivory
-80 silver dot inlays
-36 silver dash inlays
-40 ivory dot inlays
-8 notched ivory diamonds
-Radial G-10 inned stainless over phenolic joint
-white delrin butt cap
-Old growth shafts--1 birdseye, 1 curly male
-Westinghouse yellow micarta ferrules

Beautiful cue, congrats! Apart from the figured Cocobolo, I particularly like how the butt, thanks to the inlays, looks sectionalized (e.g. the "wrap section"), when in reality, it isn't.

Greetings from Switzerland, David.

O.K., so now I see why you don't play with that awesome

Bob Runde Cue

My main player is a Bob Runde ebony on ebony cue. I own 5 cues and this one feels the best to me and that's why I play with it most of the time.

1993 Dan Dishaw that I bought from the second owner. I know both previous owners. Bought by me in '94 or '95 and pretty much played with ever since. Top two shafts are the originals and bottom two made for me by Dan shortly after purchase. Leather wrap replaced with blue spec Irish Linen, done by Dan also.

Where are you from, if I may ask? Could be wrong but isn't he a cuemaker in/around Iowa?

I was born and raised in Michigan, but currently living in Wisconsin.

Jim Buss builds his cues in Overland, Missouri. Here's a link to his website: http://www.jimbuss.com/

Wow! those are really nice cues ya'll got. Here is a Jacoby I custom ordered about a year ago. It's been my daily player ever since. I prefer the old school look.
