I've done both points & inlays like this. I cut all of my wood to a 1/4" thickness. Then planned my pattern on paper. Cut the pieces on my table saw, lightly sanded the edges & glued them together. The white is vaneer, glued inbetween the pieces of wood. When the glue was dry, I ran the glued up boards through a sander, so that I had a nice flat back. Then I cut out the points & inlays just like I would any flat bottomed inlay...JER
CNC for sure on those. There may be 700 pieces there, but if done the way I think it was, someone took about 50 strips, glued them together into one large inlay sheet, then cut points out of it. 6 points in the forearm, 6 in the buttsleeve, plus the points and outlines themselves, you can get that 700 number pretty fast.
By the way that the point come together they look spliced. I would love to see the 4 sides of the cue. It looks to be that there was triangular pieces with veneers glued up then stacked side by side and glued up again. Cut into point stock and spliced. Out of curiosity do the angled pieces match up as you roll the cue? Beautiful cue..
I saw this cue while browsing some web sites a day or 2 ago. Is it a Viking?

I too know I have seen this cue some where before also. Possibly at Valley Forge last year. I'am pretty posotive it's a Samsara.
