Some of the nicest cuemakers i have dealt with.

Here's some from the west coast that are very talented and good people.

Kent Davis
Aerial Carmeli
Ned Morris
 
Super Dave from B&D Cues is a heckuva nice feller. Andy Gilbert and his wife are nice folks (Andy is crazy as hell, but a nice guy. :grin: )
 
I agree with many of the already mentioned. I would add Chris Byrne to the list.
 
Jeff Olney
Tommy - hangemhigh
Jess June
Dennis Searing
Tony Zinzola
Lee Pepper
Ryan Theewen
Steve Lomax
Doug Patrick
OB Cues - Royce Bunnell
All have been very good to me.

I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with makers who have delivered, maybe a month late (mostly due to SBE), but delivered none-the-less. Each and every one went above and beyond in their own way:

Keith and Sherri Josey
Murray Tucker III
Paul Allers
Skip Weston

While I never have gotten to place an order to date, I found these guys to be very communicative, and gave off the right vibe:

Tony Zinzola
Scott Gracio

Lisa
 
Some I've done well with

Tim Scruggs (retired I hear)
Bob Dzuricky
Mason Houghland (no longer making cues I believe)
Joey Bautista (have recieved two cues from him, and have another on order..all very very nice cues)
Eric Crisp (slow as snails, but damn they play good and I just like the guy)
Chad Carter
Evan Clarke
Manwon

Others that I would have no hesitation with are Mike Webb, Jeff Olney, Ryan aka ratcues, and of course Murray Tucker. Of course getting a cue from Murray may be the most difficult thing on this planet, but I keep my hopes up!!!!

Mike and Ryan have reputations for delivery above expectations.
 
I have had great experience with Troy Downey, so I'd add him to the list. Great cues at great prices.
 
For the cue makers that I have ordered cues from

Dickie Neighbors
James White
Paul Mottey
Jerry R
The Tascarellas
Tim Scruggs

Are all golden in my book...

I've dealt with some good people and some that I wish i'd never got involved with in the cue making business.

I could make a list of good people, but i'd like to name one man who i'll never forget who went out of his way to help me with my cue repairs and modifications and that man was MIKE COCHRAN. Mike was a friend and a great cue maker........

Mike was one of the kindest men i have ever known. He was a top cuemaker and made everyone feel like they were special. I will miss Mike and with the holidays ahead will pray for Connie and their children.

There is no coincidence that Timmy and Mike top most people's list. Two of the best for sure, bar none.

I can't see me dealing with anyone but Mike Lambros. He's a perfectionist and a total pro. Highly recommended.

I have owned many cues in my day and the finest cuemakers I have EVER dealt with personally would have to be KEITH & SHERRI JOSEY and BOB OWEN!

I have had good experiences with alot more, but these two cuemakers will always have my respect and graditude. As far as a person, Keith and Sherri are in a class of their own. They have spoke with me many times, always treating me as their BEST customer in the world, and probably knew that I was not purchasing a cue at the time. That made me feel as important as the multi-million dollar collector. And I will never forget that!

Thanks Keith Josey...

cuemakers

I see that Mike Capone is'nt own anybodys list of great cuemakers,but
he should be. I guess he ain'nt funny enough,or talks too much,but if
you want a cue you will always be happy with get a CAPONE CUE.
 
Well to date i have only talked to one and thats Arnot Wadsworth...
he was very helpful. his work is amazing.. and it plays as good as it looks
thats my 2 cents
