The Ring Joey did above is unique, it I am sure to get everything matched up perfectly take a lot of time.

Machine work with wood is tougher than steel. Wood can be tough because constantly changing density.

Steel, Aluminum, and metal are the headaches natural materials are.

You could, for example, machine slots on the ID of your ring billet and use those to align your ring sections on the cue.

By no special machinery, I mean nothing that wouldn't typically be in a cue maker's shop. Of course, machining a groove on the ID wouldn't be a typical operation, so you would have to come up with a setup to do that.
 
Dont mind my tribute to none other than, Mr Ed Prewitt.

But it not simple when you are working with tiny pieces of wood.

Dave’s Rings are very unique, can not say other have not done similar.

But his Ring Work is very unique.

BridgePort type Mill?

Of course that's true. There's a big difference between being able to do something and doing something well, not to mention the design element. It's just that precise work doesn't mean fancy machinery, and often times machinery is a hindrance to precision.
 
A design I did for a recent Treadway cue. Not great pics it was super sunny colors are much righer. The banding is actually how the camera caufht the chatoyance.
