    What would you guys do as far as refinishing the ball return troughs - if anything. I am replacing the rubber runners and felt, but would you do anything tp the wood. I would like to leave it alone but eas thinking some kind of oil to preserve the wood a bit!

    Table is complete. All leather pockets are in ine piece but hard and somewhat brittle. How can I recondition them. Traditional leather conditioner has no effect. Soak in an oil? Leave hard?

    Question. Restoring this table for myself - much sentimental value. Stripping and sanding and repairing. First piece done shown. It is three coats of Tung Oil after stripping and 320 sand. i do not plan on any topcoat on the sides, however the top rails are rosewood (different wood) and i...
