About Barry & the
Cues
|
|
In my later years of High
School, a pool room opened up in Warner Robins, Ga,
called Father & Son Pool. For some reason I was
drawn to go in. I saw a lot of fathers and a lot of
sons, but not together. :-) Although in high
school, I spent a lot of time in that pool room, to
the point, the owner decided to put me to work. I
was the new rack boy. Back then, games were paid by
the rack and collected by the rack boy. This is
where my pool interests began. I picked up that
first cue and realized I was hooked.
|
Later, in the
early 1990's, I rediscovered pool and
leagues. From there I learned more about
tournaments and began to play every
weekend. Being an above average player, I
was ofter asked for advice about pool cues
and the game's finer points. It was then,
I saw a need for affordable, quality cue
work. I purchased a small repair lathe and
that was the beginning of Cameron Custom
Cues. I spent the next two years repairing
cues, with this experience and a previous
woodworking background, I decided to make
a cue.
With the purchase of a larger lathe, I
spent much of my time experimenting with
different exotic woods and joint styles. I
was looking for the right combination of
joint, woods and shaft taper and
construction that gave the look and feel I
was looking for.
Since, I've purchased several other lathes
and equipment and I produce approximately
10 to 20 cues a year. Learning with every
cue I make. I throughly enjoy what I do
and the customers satisfaction is
extremely rewarding.
Presently, my cues are used by some of the
top players in the North East U.S. I play
and support both Zuglan's Joss NE 9 Ball
Tour and the CT. 9 Ball Tour. My cue
business and the tours allow me to travel
and meet many new and interesting people
and stay close to the game I
love.

My objective is
to produce a consistantly firm hitting
cue. The hit, balance and weight are my
prime concerns. Using different quality
exotic woods in combination to acheive my
objective of a firm & solid hitting
cue with the beauty of the natural
woods.
Some of the "standard features" of my cues
include the following:
Fine linen based melamine ferrules,
"threaded" on the shaft.
Medium Moori tips.
Quality Irish linen wrap, color of your
choice
"AAA" #1 hard rock maple shafts.
Forward weighted
3/8 x 10 special shouldered pin.
Double black phenolic joint collars and
butt cap
Wood to wood joint
Handles are flat laminated for
stability
High quality automotive clear coat
finish
Other style joints, ferrules, tips and
wraps are avaliable. Leather wraps seem
very popular these days.
Wheather you are an experienced player or
biginner, my goal is to build a cue that
will best suit you and your desires. If
you aren't sure what you need, we will be
glad to discuss it with you. Give a call
or email.
