Is that Apple Green Simonis? Looks damn good in the light sir.
Extra top for Gold Crown 4?

Those rails are nothing short of magnificent. Your table will be gorgeous, I would like to see pics with the new rails installed too please.

Yes! Exactly it is Apple Green, I really like the color. I think it’s going to look great on the 10 foot table. I saw Apple Green on 1 thread on here and I wanted to give it a try. Also, I’m just tired of tournament blue, it’s everywhere and shows dirt like crazy. It’s going to be a while before I’m set up, but I’ll get more pictures once set up.
Finished rails are in route as well as a cut of 860HR. I'll get some pictures up once everything arrives. Probably be a little while before install though, the current cloth isn't worn out yet.
Those rails sure are beautiful!!!!! Looks like the type of finish that you would see in one of those $10,000,000 yachts. I would make everyone who wants to play on your table wear cotton gloves.

Yeah exactly, definitely rare if I let anyone else play on it. I put several hours a day into practicing, the table plays amazing! Rail work is worth the investment.

That thing is beautiful. Its not a pool table, its art.

Mark Gregory did all the rail work, 10' table, the corners are 4.5" and the side pockets are 4.75" as good as it looks, it plays even better! Can't recommend Mark highly enough, he does amazing work.

Amazing. I have a 5x10 all original Centennial in storage that I hope to make look like yours one day. Gorgeous table
Definitely sounds like a keeper, that a one of a kind table.
Mark does great work! I have a custom set he did for my 9ft. Anniversary with the same specs as yours and it plays great. When the cloth gets a bit old those corner pockets play plenty tight when hitting anything down the rail.

Let me know if you need any help step by step in getting it restored or reach out to me if you ever decide to sell it. Here’s a few more pics of mine.

Even more gorgeous pics! Making me horny. Thanks for your offer to help. Main problem is no room for a 5x10 anywhere at the moment. Yuba City is far, but not crazy far from me. Maybe I need to visit you & sample that table…

Cotton gloves, you must wear cotton gloves the entire time playing on that beautiful table. I need to look after my own best interests here, @Timkrieger may adopt me in which case his gorgeous table would become the table I play daily on and I just want to make sure it stays in pristine condition.
Sometimes stuff like that happens, I have seen it happen before.

I think he needs pool buddys & should adopt both of us. I’ve never worn a glove before, but if white gloves are required, I’ll cave in on this one.Cotton gloves, you must wear cotton gloves the entire time playing on that beautiful table.

Seriously, I’ve never even heard of Rosewood rails, let alone seen any with that type of figuring & highlights. My old favorite table was a piano gloss black fully restored Centennial, but this one is definitely my new favorite.
Long time coming but got the new cloth installed and rails done two days ago. Once you pull staples your committed, lol. High anxiety putting the Simonis on, however it turned out great. Kept the DVD on went to town.
Tuned all the trouble spots and the finished product plays great. We'll see how she does after the slick cloth is broken in.
My electronic angle finder says 140 on the corners. So far you can pound them and if you hit them clean, they go. Brush the rail with pace and no dice, lol.

It's a good feeling when a job like that comes together. Enjoy.
Looks good, nice job!!!
Cept the rolls returned, lol. It rolled perfect for a few days and now kicks out just past the side pocket toward the first diamond at slow roll speed.
Double checked with the Starrett and it's back to 3 graduations off right in front of the side pocket. The day we covered it we had it down to 1 graduation. I can push down on the side pocket casting and get it to read back at 1 but no clue how to keep it there now that it's covered.
Not sure what on earth could change in a week but it has. Got me confused to say the least.
Move the ball out about 4 inches and tracks straight as an arrow towards the hole.
