Ev said when he first saw the Jerry Louis telethon, he cried and donated think she said $500.

Let me tell ya, six weeks after he died, I spent 1.5 days with Evelyn in Dowell IL, what a gal !!!! She's heard more one liners that Johnny Carson ever said. They had a GOOD 40 yrs of marriage.

I owned 7 GC I's and some II"s. Cornblasted em (not too deep) light hand sanding, took 15 minutes to do that. Wiped em clean five minutes, chose a stain, then 3 coats of clear. Came out perfect, got the wood to match the room lighting.

Fats dad was a Merchant Marine working the docks/east coast. Fats had a pool room in his early yrs. When he was a kid hangin out with dad at the docs probably 8 yrs old, when the lunch bell rang Rudolph was usually the first in line.

Op.... slow play.

Yeah, but you'll never see a poker table w/o GREEN felt. But wouldn't bet on that :). Green/cash/dealer. Green felt 8 ball. Hard wired mankind experiences. Gray blackjack tables, might/and NOT. :) Cash is good and cash is Green. Not grey.

Yep, and Rempe.

I miss typed in thread #10, I was told they were poplar.... Kinda makes sense, the wood was so light, had my choice of how dark to go to match the room, I did get it tho too light. :).

This light-frame.... is it stained with a clear coat just like your wood aprons? I know my GCI apron (pic) layered wood was gorgeous. Likely not poplar. With a fine grit, all aprons and underframe took 45 minutes to completely strip, a 200 or 180 grit then stain/clear coat.

I don't think this was mentioned. On a 40x80 full size 7' bar table, I Never need a rake.

thx zar, gonna show up/pay/play @ Shooters next week.

I'd say no, we've been together Allot over the yrs he even stayed here for awhile. 6' 4'' be my guess. Judd Trumps 5'11'' he appears taller.

Got with Dave Isaac/Ft Collins, he recommended I look at the Penguin Brand.
