About Kevin Deroo

In the early 1970's, following in his fathers footsteps, Kevin started an apprenticship in carpentry. After 19 years in the industry he became efficient in custom millwork, architechtually designed cabinetry, and antique furniture replica work. But he longed to be more artistic ... more creative.

Kevin was introduced to snooker in 1969 and realizing the skill and discipline required to play the game well was very attractive to him. Entering local tournaments and becoming a respected name in the game was soon to follow.

In 1978 Kevin combined his craftsmanship as a woodworker with his passion for the game and started doing cue repair work. It was the beginning of a long journey into learning about woods, machinery, accuracy, and art.

Today his shaft woodwork is world renound for its perfected tapering and stabilizing techniques that knowledgable players demand.
