Quality

Quality pool tables for 170 years

Creating tables with beautiful design & durability

Made the Right Way

It's true: you get what you pay for. Import brands skimp on the construction, finish, lumber and are massed produced. Trust our tables will stand the test of time from generation to generation.

Lumber

Using only the highest grades of wood that are flat, clear and split free. We work standard in maple, oak and tulip wood but if you want an exotic wood we got you covered.

Lumber

Cabinet Construction

We use either a unibody or dowel pin type construction> Dowel pin allows for a perfect frame alignment every time! not to mention we have been using this technique since the early 1900s- so you can be guaranteed old world quality. All frame have little to no shake and are milled flat within 1/64`` corner to corner.

Sights

No plastic for us. All sight material is natural mother of pearl or wood inlay. Sights are sanded before finishing so that you get a silky uniform feel.

Spade Sight

Wood Finishing

Finish

No painted finish here! We brush and then hand wipe our stain to allow the natural grain pattern to shine through. Next we apply four coats of sealer/finish and hand rub with 400 grit between all coats.

Rails

Tough sturdier rails are the name of the fame. We use 3/8`` threaded inserts which gives better resistance to over tightening. All rails are lined with hardwood on the bottom to add maximum strength and resist warping.

Slate

All our tables use a 3-piece 1`` slate from Brazil. Each piece of the configuration is diamond honed on both sides for maximum flatness.

Cushions

No shortcuts on our cushions. We use a wood a yellow glue and not a fast acting contact adhesive. Our way allows cushions to be straighter and more accurate, all pocket angles are cut on a compound jig- same every time!

No Mass Production

We typically can build 3 tables a day, each table moves through our factory as a unit, so we can assure perfect fit every time. You can be rest assured your table is getting the TLC it deserves.
