Does anyone have a pre 2004 cue they would care to share a picture of? I would like to see how his cues looked when he was doing all the inlays by hand.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What do you guys think of Paul Dayton cues?
- Thread starter justinb386
- Start date
everything is done by a machine, whether it be manual like a phantograph or manual lathe or cnc
This is what his site said in circa 2003,
" Paul is especially proud of his completely hand-inlaid work: No machines is his motto; he is a dedicated perfectionist. When he says his cues are hand-inlaid, he means it! He has no pantograph or CNC mill, in fact, he has never seen one in use. He makes every inlay he uses from raw materials. Every inlay fits precisely into a hole cut in the cue using only an X-Acto knife and a hand-held Dremel tool. Each inlay goes into its own hole and is so precisely fitted that when testing to see if the inlay fits, he must lever out with a chisel. The rounded points that are seen in some other cues are absent in a Dayton Cue. In fact, his points are so sharp that he must guard against cutting himself."
After 2004 his site reflects he uses CNC, obviously I know little about Dayton cues which is why I searched out this thread, and a dremel is definitely a machine, but I just wondered what his cues pre 2003 look compared to his more recent offerings.
