Bill Webb

Not long ago thanks to help of my friend Alex Altamirano from Hot Springs, Arkansas who was like a family to Bill i got this beautiful Billy Webb Palmwood cue which is one of the last cues Bill built. Palmwood is not an easy wood to work with but Bill was never afraid of hard work and accepting demanding tasks.
There are no many cue makers for whose work i have more appreciation than i have for Bill. And not only that his workmanship is always great but his cues are stone cold players. One of the best playing cues for sure.

Enjoy the photos

About Billy Webb

Well Billy Webb, known on AZ Billiards as Spiderweb has finally received the recognition for his work that he deserves. The July-August edition of inside pool magazine has featured Billy Webb as the Cue maker of the month in their Cue Makers Corner, Written By AZ Member Fred Agnir.

Billy Webb, has worked for many years on perfecting his cue making abilities. Billy was a very humble individual who rarely tut-es his own horn, and this more than anything has prevented him from receiving the recognition he greatly deserves. Billy builds his cues along the lines and using the parabolic taper developed by David Paul Kersenbrock and also used in South West and bender Custom Cues.

Billy mostly built cues that have six points three high and three low with Veneers in most cases. However, over the years Billy has been perfecting Butterfly Spliced cues in addition to his six point cues. The Butterfly Spliced cues that Billy has been perfecting Butterfly Spliced cues in addition to his six point cues. The Butterfly Spliced cues that Billy Builds are very unique and include a combination of standard points in conjunction with Butterfly points. Very few cue makers can make cues that are even similar to these Butterfly cues due to the overlapping veneers form Butterfly Splice to Butterfly splice. As I have stated above Billy is very humble and plainly states that Paul Fanellli and Kyle Van Den Bosch (Mariposa Cue Company) make the best around. Here is a direct quote made by Billy in another post concerning the two previous mentioned cue maker.
