No Idea how he did this!

I just come across these pictures of a cue made by a cue maker in Florida. No idea how he did it! Pretty crazy!. It is all done by hand without any CNC.

Love to see a snooker cue made like this.

are you sure thats not a machine splice at the top ??????

cant see it being made completely by hand ....

It is all done by hand, no CNC.

The cue maker's name is Paul Fanelli. He is very well known for his butterfly spliced work.

The owner of this cue wanted about USD$3000 for this cue.

I think the forearm work is very amazing.

if thats the case i stand corrected ......

and Fair play to the cuemaker it looks awsome

The Americans would call those sharp points "half spliced." "Machine spliced" is a term usually reserved for CNC points for pool cues. I dont believe any 9 ball pool cues are built with the UK hand spliced technique (In other words, you will not see a glue line running down the junction between the prongs). If it has round prongs, it is usually butterfly spliced or CNC. But in this case, I am not sure what kind of technique he used, it is puzzling.
