Danny Tibbitts was inducted into the International Cuemakers Hall Of Fame. Danny started out as a carpenter and then opened his own cabinet shop. Then in 1985 he built his first pool cue. Over the next few years he honed his skills and eventually turned the cabinet shop completely into a high end cue building shop. He mastered V-groove point work with veneers to a quality few had ever seen in the late 80s and early 90s. His miters were very tight and his points longer than most others. His inlay work became some of the tightest out there. Danny used his hand wood crafting skills to do gold vine work in cues by hand. His Grecian cues with ivory vase and ivory columns with gold vine work were nice examples of how good he was at hand work on cues. He put his joint pin in the forearm first and then built the rest of the cue and all point work off that joint center. This made his points very even in length and his joints very concentric. Some of his early work can be seen in the Billiard Encyclopedia. He built cues in Woodstock, Georgia for over three decades then moved to Ellijay, Georgia where he is now semi-retired.
