Handmade by James Bedford Alexander

All of our cues are handmade by James Bedford Alexander - owner, founder, and proud to be the only registered cue maker in Canberra. JBA Cues are made from the highest quality ash and maple shaft timbers, sourced from reputable suppliers and hand selected for use by James. Each shaft is then crafted into the perfect cue for each player's unique needs and desires including a selection of exotic and native hardwood design timbers, specific weight, length and tip size, as well as a wide range of natural and dyed veneers.
