Did you do anything to the finish of the woodwork on the table? Is it original? Was it resorted previously? It looks in great shape.

Hey Mark, My Centennial is playing great. When are you coming back to give me a lesson and help me break it in. Mark did my centennial and it is sensational, we just need more play! If I restructure my office at work, I will have you do the same for my Non Paraliel Novelty! I will only let Mark work on my tables and worth every penny!
all my best, Phil

I've had two Anniversarys oversized 8-footers, one Arcade and now have a Kling. See links below.
The Kling was a damaged 10' Snooker table we converted to a 9' drop-pocket 6-legged Kling. We also added up-bolts to tighten the rails and avoid the classic Brunswick stripped edge-bolt problem although we still insert the bolts and tighten them with the Brunswick bolt-head wrench.
I have also acquired a 10' Hudson Carom. I'm not sure if I am going to leave it a Carom table, make it a 10' pocket or a 9' pocket table. Probably leave it a Carom table.

Arthur Ball does some amazing work. I had him restore a few Anniversarys and he just finished up a Centennial for me. I've also seen him fix an especially beat up Rochester table. It looks like he did a great job on your Kling.

Absolutely beautiful wood work and refinishing.......trust me I can't do that kind of work on refinishing or repairing the tables........I do the sub-rail work on the some antiques for playability.......mostly on Anniversary....Centennials......G.C. and commercial tables...Kenny told me those guy's do great work. I'm more than sure I'm not going to steal any work from them......now I know who to send people to when they need their table refinished for sure.

Thanks for sharing and welcome back to your place amongst the living. Have missed your wit for far too long.

I'll add my nice job comment in with the others. One question: is that
the famous Circassian walnut veneer on the table?
For those who may care - there was an option on ball returns, I don't know
if it was available on all models, the only one I ever saw was on one of
George Asby's Klings. The balls collected in a storage area located
near the center of the frame. There was a lever just above the ball box
that released them into the box.
As George explained it - it was aimed at Straight Pool players. Didn't
want them to have to put up with the sound of balls rolling down the return
and popping into the box while they were running the rack.
So you released them all at the end of the rack.
Them was the days.

I truly don't know what kind of walnut is on that table......I know it's a lot of work making the table play good.......That's very interesting knowledge about the ball return systems....I really don't know things like that about tables......Glen may answer those kind of questions.....I just know mostly how to make tables play there very best....from playing the game......well pretty good.....35 years.
I put pic's of that table up to show some work.....but mainly because that table happens to be my all time favorite......some day I'll have one like the one I showed pic's of....(I hope).....for now I'll live with the Brunswick G.C 5 with 4" conner pockets for practice.
Sorry not much help in that department.
