Rosewood on rosewood, 9 veneers, Ivory Hoppe ring with 9 veneers stacked on both sides, with wood joint caps...
These cues are super players and are the nicest all natural cues there are. No fillers, no inlays, just the cleanest butterfly work you'll find. These are all dead nuts even, and the craftmanship that Fanelli is known for...

Technically these cues are 8 points, 4 up and 4 down. They are completely spliced, as good as any. The weight distribution is achieved through proper wood selection. With the amount of veneering and splicing these cues are almost equal to a laminate, just a hell of a lot prettier. As close to one piece as any other cue can claim, maybe even more so...

I Dont Understand Why You Would Need A Cnc To Build This Cue
It Can All Be Done On A Mill Theres No Inlays Just Wondering About Your Title

It reflects the amount of cue that you get for the money as opposed to a heavily inlaid cnc cue..
Do I question you on why when you sell your OWN stuff why you would need to use Mottey's logo to justify your own name?

JV,
i think it's obvious that you consider cues that use the CNC technology as inferior, in your own way, to those that don't. that being said i think what he's saying is that this technique only requires traditional machines and methods and that the mention of CNC in any way in a negative light, what you get for the money or not, isn't warranted at all. Paul makes great cues in the form he makes them. some may say one of the best at it. that alone need stand on it's own merit. i'm sure Paul would rather it that way. theres no need to bring any other techniques into the picture................very nice cues by the way.....
skins --------------- thinks Paul's work needs no 'comparisons'.........
Love that Rose
Beautiful cues Joe. Thank you so much for sharing Paul's work with us. I love to see cues with this kind of craftsmanship. The rosewood colors are not too strong in contrast, so with a very busy design, they provide a perfect aesthetic balance for me. That one is a winner. Love it!

What I mean is compared to "inlays" in general... cnc or otherwise. It's why he doesn't inlay the cues with any decoration.

You're welcome. Yes, he can achieve a lot just using the colors of the wood and veneers.

Last one...
My overall butt picture was fuzzy, so here are the two segmented photos. This cue is flamewood, with red/yellow dyed wildwood. The veneers are a flame color scheme with a curly handle.

The other point is wrapless cues doesn't have to be a piece of solidwood. These are wrapless and carry the design through out the entire length of the butt.

I believe the saw fence PF uses is cnc'd.
Just kidding Joe.
PF has taken butterflies/fullsplice to another level.
The man is a wood scientist.

I really-really like this statement. /My favourite is the rosewood-on-rosewood one/
They are all sweet. Especially the Rosewood.

Here's what I take from the title of this thread....
It is nOT a hit on CNC cuemakers or anything like that. It is NOT a shot at CNC cues or heavily inlayed cues.
It is a way of illustrating that Paul's cues are remarkably intricate and ornate. And the title is a way of saying that this level of intricacy can and has been achieved without inlays. Just simply wood on wood.
In other words, designs CAN be p both outside the box AND beautiful!!! Not to mention extremely well crafted. And it doesn't have to be 4 points with lots of inlays.
Not that there is anything WRONG with that! I love that stuff!!! And Keith Josey makes a hell of an inlaid cue with really unique designs. I think Joe was just trying to show that Paul Fanelli is a perfect example that cue design can be stretched and expanded in ways that most cuemakers don't think of or attempt and it doesn't solely mean in the inlay department.
