I have some pics somewhere of my old Paul Fanelli. I'll hunt 'em down and post them later tonight! It was featured in the Insdie Pool article on Paul. He truly is the master of butterflies. Beautiful, one of a kind cues that play great.
And Paul is one of the nicest guys in the biz.

Paul is a very nice guy and hes a perfectionist. He wont let anything short of perfect out of his shop. His family is very kind as well.

Here is a cue that almost was but, unfortunately for me, never came to be:

It would have been a stunner!

The first dozen or so should be of my old Fanelli.

I'd post them here but the actual jpegs are too big and I can't figure out how to rezise them.

This is one of the nicest Fanelli's I have seen

Tell me about it Zeek. I had the privelage of seeing that one in the works on several occassions when I was having work done on some of my cues. Ricky (Ironchef; that's his cue) is one lucky guy!

Man I wish you still had that cue, I forgot just how gorgeous the satinwood showed up against the coco...and my old dayton's there too, as well as your first custom cue---that purpleheart omen!

Couldn't say enough good things about Paul, he most definitely is a perfectionist and build some of the best cues out there today. His butterflies are truly second to none and his wood combinations are simple awesome!

My honest personal opinion, this one is a stunner:

Gotta get Joe to repost the link or pics to Mark's cue, that one is gem as well!
