Joe thanks for sharing, I love Paul's work and I also understand how few people making cues today can make cues in this fashion. Not only the intricate Point splices and Butterfly spliced designs, but also the flawless execution without computer guided milling machines (CNC). This is the kind of work that puts Paul in a category all his own for Butterfly Spliced Cues, and in the top 5% for all other Cue Building skills.
This is the difference between those who make cues and carry the Title Cue Maker, and those who have moved up to the Title Master Cue Maker. In my opinion those who carry the Title Master Cue Maker are on the verge of extinction. Even with all the Cue Makers we have in this country today, so few have the ability to produce works of Art by traditional means, and these numbers grow smaller ever year.
