CORY BARNHART
FOUR POINT
COCOBOLO AND BIRDSEYE MAPLE
|
Cory Barnhart makes cues in all price ranges, and although he occasionally builds a whopper, is generally known for his player level merry widows, and four and six pointers in a very reasonable price range. Here's a four pointer that will make somebody an exceptional playing cue.
|
He builds this one from some pretty cocobolo and birdseye maple. Nothing super fancy - a great playing cue in a classic design.
|
The veneers in this stick really set it off. It's a nice combination of complementary colors that really frame the pretty cocobolo points perfectly.
|
He builds it with a Hoppe-style white ring just above the butt cap, with a ring of silver dots above and below.
|
He also adds a fairly wide black phenolic ring above the below the wrap.
|
This cue has a really classic, traditional look to it. It looks like it's made to be a work-horse. He adds a nice black "Scotch" leather wrap that looks very nice, and feels especially good in the hand.
|
The white elforyn joint is a nice touch, complementing the white Hoppe ring in the butt sleeve.
|
|
The veneers really pop on this cue, with a nice combination of white, blue, red and black.
|
A very tasteful cue, bright but not gawdy, and everything comes together nicely.
| |
|
As with all Cory's cues, the work is tight, and the points are even, sharp and ...
|
He builds it with a radial pin in a flat-faced joint, with his silver dot ring pattern at the joint and on the ring collars of the shafts. This cue hits great!
|
This cue is 58 incheslong and comes with two of Cory's very nice 13mm shafts. It weighs 19.2 ounces with either shaft (Butt-15.5,shafts both 3.7.) It will make someone a very nice playing cue for many years.
