MONEY,LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY!
THEY ARE GEORGOUS CUES!
Congratulations, and thanks for sharing these outstanding examples of Ron Haley's cues. I recognize those veneers as being each outlined with his paper veneers. Very unique and beautiful. I have two of his cues, one being from the same batch as yours, and with these same type of veneers. As perfect as Haley cues fit/finish is and with their overall flawless workmanship, I would like to add that they hit every bit as good as they look.
I'm not sure. He's the only one that I know of. The paper veneers are very thin and used as outline for the others. The paper is highly compressed and is as hard as wood.bruin70 said:
Ron only builds a very limited number of cues each year. He is the owner of a large fabricating company, and truely builds cues only for his passion to do so.

I like to refer to these veneers as "contrast veneers". They are not unique to
Haley, but I'm certain he was instrumental in bringing the concept to fruition. They certainly add a unique dimension to the point construction.
Charlie is correct, Ron is very passionate about his craft and a true gentleman in every sense of the word. He builds around 12-16 cues per year.

Mr. Worminator (if that is your REAL name),
I have no idea what you mean by that.
All kidding aside, I think all of the Haley cues I have seen here on AZ are absolutely gorgeous. I love the traditional / old style type of cues and Ron really seems to be able to capture that essence but with a contemporary touch to it. These two cues are no exception. Jeez, just look at the sharpness of those inlays on the ebony cue...Drool drool drool.
Someday soon, I hope to have one of these beauties.

Worm, while this ivory window cue of yours is absolutely gorgeous and the depiction of sheer elegance and grace in design, I have to admit I'm still a huge fan of Dak21st's window cue on the far right. That cue is gorgeous! You still have that one, don't you Dak?
Jealous as hell,

I think the contrast veneers in the ebony cue are nice. I am sure in person they stand out more than they appear here in the photos.
As for the rosewood cue, the veneers do really jump out at you don't they. I like this one very much. Maybe Worminator would be nice enough to send me this cue so I could examine it up close.
