A lot do.
Cnc lose track of Z axis , it will carve the cue.
Taper bar slip, nice carve is the result.
Kidding aside, most makers in the Philippines hand cut their inlays.

Sampaio carved all of his cues by hand as well.
I have a customer who is really good at checkering. I built him a plain jane cue so he could checker it. Then the bug bit him to build a cue so he built his first cue as a full splice he did himself. He even made the points sharp at bottom and top. To do it by hand like he does cost a few hundred dollars.
Out Law cues. I have seen a few in person. Not exactly my cup of tea that I would want as a player
but still pretty unique looking.

The look is utterly innovative and sure to draw enormous amounts of jealousy in poolrooms across the globe.

Wow, went and built a full splice? On his own? Cool.
As for the checkering, that's wht I am talking about. Any chance you have pics of his work?
Obviously not for everybody but definitely interesting!

Checkering gun stocks. Many vids and looks like they all use a special tool when done by hand.
