Ariel is a very reputable full time CUE maker from Eastvale, California. with a background in fine furniture design, he started making CUES as early as 1991, and now runs the world's messiest workshop (according to himself). Here you easily have to wait 3-5 years for a legendary CARMELI CUE.
There are few people who make the Norwegian CUE maker so eager that he takes in the CUES BEFORE THEY ARE PRODUCED!
