CUE MAKERS BIO

Ron Nelson supplies pool cues through Nelson Custom Cues.

I retired from a major Canadian corporation in 2000. Much of the newly available free time was spent playing  3 or 4 nights a week in local 8 Ball leagues. My involvement in the billiard business started from there.

I bought a mini lathe and started replacing tips and reconditioning shafts on my own cues. This led to doing the same work for some of my friends and teammates.

Then a  high end cue lathe was purchased providing capability to offer a complete range of repairs plus construction of basic cues.

Experience in cue building was gained by converting a number of 1 piece house cues to 2 piece cues. From there I graduated to building basic cues from scratch. Next a CNC Milling Machine was acquired providing the capability to do high quality inlays.

After experiencing the precision and flexibility offered by the CNC Mill, a CNC Professional Cue Building System was purchased. This machine cuts precision shaft and butt tapers as well as flat bottom inlay pockets, V-Groove points and Butterfly points. It provides the capability to build custom cues to our clients specifications with very few technological limitations.

My business philosophy is simple. I strive to provide the highest levels of quality and service at prices equal to or less than other retailers or cue builders in Southern Ontario.
