I agree with Desi about the cloth...when someone plays safe on you...
..do you feel marooned?:rolleyes:

Check out green, blue or even camel colored cloth...my eyes would cross
on that red stuff.

However, I like the dog...he's probably barking at the cloth.:duck:

+`1 I was thinking the same thing. I used to have that cloth and my lab would bark; got tournament blue simonis 860 now and the dog is mellllllow !!! lol !
 
The red cloth isn't too bad. But that red chalk is a killer. The red will not come clean once imbedded into your shafts. There's a place out here with red cloth on their tables with little cubes of red chalk on the rails to use. The owner has given a cue maker all his house cues to retip and clean a couple of times. The shafts (they are 2 piece cues) will NOT come clean. So use blue chalk, it will be easier to clean your table than the cues.

Welcome to the site and enjoy.

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you and your husband are off to a good start, except for the cloth!

Where are you located? The rails look a little familiar to a table series that is distributed around here. Send us some more pictures, along with the legs as Mark suggested so we can get a better look at it. Also, if you have any while the table was being repaired, that would also help.

If you show a couple of pictures of the table - someone very possibly will be able to ID the table.

Show pictures of the sides and end (with legs).

Also what part of the country you are located.

Thanks Mark.
We live in Tampa Florida. We bought the table across town in St. Pete. Robertsons Billiards moved and repaired it for us. It's not in pristine condition but it's slate and it plays really well. We get the haters all the time that red is a terrible color but, I don't freaking get it. We almost went with tiger print, God only knows what some people would have said then. Sheesh!:smile:

The movers brought the lamp to my house too (which I don't want). If anyone wants the lamp and wants to pick it up or pay for shipping let me know. I think it's plastic. It has a small crack on one side. It would probably work at a bar or any man cave in need of lighting (click on thumbnails to see detail).

WOW! that looks like a spot on call. With the move and the repairs I spent $700. Thanks I'm confident I did well. It's not in show room condition and that's ok. If my kids decide they want to learn I will be happy to hire them a trainer.

I've matured. Can't you tell?

BTW, the table looks pretty Olhausenish to me.

my 1st thought was an olhausen but the pockets are shaped different than the one i have.

i used to have an american heritage and those pockets look identical to it.
 
red + ruined cue

" We get the haters all the time that red is a terrible color but, I don't freaking get it. We almost went with tiger print, God only knows what some people would have said then. Sheesh! "

if you have a really expensive cue or a bit of a freek about clean, you will learn to hate red. i can live with the cloth, but most that have red cloth have red chalk, and that is the killer. with continual use red chalk will kill your ferrule, shaft and wrap.
i build cues and have been ask a few times how do i get this red crap off my cue? remove the wrap and install a new one, or sand your shaft down a couple mm. once its in your $500.00 its george case it looks terrible and cannot be removed.
if you don't care about your equipment its no problem.

That's a pretty solid looking table. The wood may be mahogany which means it's HEAVY! I like to look underneath and see what the frame and supports look like. I'm guessing yours is solid underneath too. Set up correctly it should play good. I don't think it's nearly as old as you think, more like 20-25 years old. I seriously doubt that it is an antique table.
 
Hi, welcome (late, sry). Looks like a pretty generic "furniture" style, looks pretty well made, sturdy. I have no idea whose it is, but welcome and enjoy!
 
It's a furniture table. Could have been made by a dozen different manufacturers, on shore or off shore. Retail price is $2,200 to $3,500. Used value is $1,200 to $1,800. It may be mahogany stain but not mahogany wood. To me it looks like the Olhausen.
 
Newbie

I'm only 30 days old here. So, I'm a newbie too. I'm happily & faithfully married for 31 years, so I'm not flirting. Welcome to the site & the ART of Pocket Billiards or 'Pool'. Just like in a pool hall there are some sharks here swimming with the little fishies. There's alot of help here but sometimes there's disagreement & confusion too. Ask questions & if you don't understand the answer ask again. I've coached both children & adults in sports & sometimes one has to hear it a different way for them to understand it. Please don't get offended but I'm going to take the liberty to tell you the #1 problem I see in inexperienced female players in hope that it might help you. If it does not apply then please ignore it & excuse me. That problem is ther base. They stand with their feet too close together & they lean or wobble when they shoot. They fall off balence & ultimately miss the shot. So, seperate your feet & get a good balanced base from which to play the shot. If your initial stance is not right for the shot once you get over it, don't lean, reposition.
Good shooting & enjoy it when you're up to the challenge & don't beat yourself up too much when you're not. Always remember this, everyone misses. It may not seem like it sometimes but it's true. Everyone misses.
