So far as I know that Tony Ions who making Cue's since 1969.
Is anybody know who making cue before Tony Ions?And she/he still making cues?

Nah, theres bound to be a scouser at Peradons about to retire having worked on a lathe bunging out the basic all ash cue every 5 minuites for the last 50 years.

Your probaby right though when it comes to quality cues, he will be missed when he finally hangs up his plane.

I just interesting in who is the most experienced at making cues in United Kingdom.

By 'experience', I assume you mean most knowledge also?

If this is what you are implying, I would not really say that experience equals knowledge or quality, because some of the best cues you will see are not necessarily made by those who are the longest serving cue makers.

Can I just ask....?

What is the definition of experience to you, cueinhand?
