Very nice... You need to tap your featherstrips down a bit, but great job. I'm sure it was hard work. What kind of cushions cloth etc... ?

Thanks Pool School... The feather strips are flush with the rail. It just looks funny in the picture. I'll double check them when I get back in town... some day...

The cushions are Champion Tour Edition K55 profile, the cloth is Simonis #760. The pockets were bought on line at Clasic Billiards. Not to impressed with them. They came on a cast aluminum iron, were hot glued on the corners and with the leather riveted together. I took them off those irons and hand sewed them to the original irons like they should have been. I only bought them because I wanted the Brunswick logo on the shield. The shield is nice but is bigger than the original and they don't have the soft red leather on the slate side of the pocket... Oh well.... Might send the out some time to Rc Designs. Found them to late to do that but they look like they do a really nice job... Any one ever use them to restore pockets???

I use RC Designs, I feel the quality is better than Hood. When you call ask for GT. They might even have brunswick logos. It will be cheaper to get a new set of pockets than have your old one rebuilt. The Red inner shield is kind of cool, they used them in the old days as a target because the lighting was bad, the red would show up better. Why did you go with 760 over 860?
 
Yeah, I've had this set of Centennials for years. Nicely yellowed and look great on the table.

I went with 760 because I had it on my other table and really liked it.

As far as new pockets go, I'll be waiting on that. Need to finish the basement first!!!
