Damaged cue

Is this how you received the cue? New or Used ? if used, sure looks like a classic bar table knocker, whether walking around a table or the drop on the edge of a table, great area when a cue is knocked over and strikes a chair ?? right through the clear coat. I don't see the signs of cold or a flaking going on, to me, just a darn good bang. But, someone here may have a better opinion than me.

I was wondering if that section was called veneer. Not a cue expert. Still learning terminology. What's the difference between veneer and inlays? Would the damaged section be wood or another material? Maybe I should have placed this in another section. Wasn't trying trying to make it a cue maker thing.
 
Custom or Production?

I assume you are asking about the chipped finish near the rings at the handle area.I am looking on my phone so it's difficult to tell anything.

If it's a < $100 production, it's probably a print. Finish chipped and took the print with it.

If custom, it could be spliced or v groove. You should be able to see the nice burl where the finish is chipped. Although it would still not look quite as nice as with the finish.

Veneers are at the outside edge of the points.

Respect, Courage, and Commitment!

Veneers... This cue has 2 veneers. One natural, outside of the burl. One black, on outside of the natural. From our view, we see the cross section of the veneers. So, if this is a v groove, a piece of burl is cut with two thin veneer pieces glued to size. That part is glued into a v groove on the forearm.

Respect, Courage, and Commitment!
 
just by looking at the picture its an Ariel Carmeli cue.. has ambonyna burl points.. .. the mark on the point is a chip in the finish.. only way to fix it is, to refinish the cue.. or atleast the forearm.. its an easy fix..

thats the bare wood at the bottom of it.. without the finish its a slightly different color..

and you got it for a great price.. well worth it to get it fixed...

Super figured Amboyna burl that is nearly impossible to get like that now! That grade of Amboyna is 5x the price it was 5 years ago if you can find it! If you want to fix the chip in the finish yourself in this used cue simply clean the area of the chip and float a little bit of superglue in the void with a toothpick a little at a time. This will protect the cue until you're ready for the refinish. If it were mine, I'd have Ariel refinish it for sure. Martin
