Welcome. Within these pages
you will find the work of custom cue maker Ron Kilby. Since 1987 he
has created cues for players of every level. In 1995 he began to focus
on carom cues, with their traditional wood-thread joint and characteristics
distinct from pool cues. His designs span a wide range, from
traditional butterfly points to avant-garde cues including precious stones,
scrimshaw ivory, exotic inlays, and segmented shafts.

While some customers order one of my “stock”
patterns, the majority like to have custom touches added to their
cue, combining design elements from two or more of the cues shown in
the galleries. Some come to me with original designs which I do not
duplicate in cues built for others. The general limitation on a
custom design is that it be one I can build without CNC equipment,
and that I think will result in a physically sound design; for
example, I will not build a cue in which veneers cut through the
centerline of the forearm as that makes the cue dependent on a glue
joint, not a mechanically sound practice. Most custom designs are
the result of numerous email exchanges with the customer until a
final design is agreed.
Feel free to select elements from the galleries
and let’s begin a conversation.
