My 1947 Brunswick Centennial Project is finally complete. This table was a basket case when I purchased it a year ago. Mark Gregory did an outstanding job. This table plays better than anything I've ever played on before.
Mark replaced the subrails and installed Artemis cushions. The finished pockets are 4 1/8 inches. The long rails on this table are one piece. They were bowed, twisted and warped before the Mongoose sunk his teeth into them. These rails are straight as an arrow now. The slate was blocked (Honed) to a perfectly flat surface.
In addition to the mechanical work, a Rosewood stain was used and topped with a sanding sealer and 3 coats of acrylic. The Aluminum blinds, pocket castings and skirts were stripped, sanded by hand and polished.
This table plays phenomenal. A ball can be rolled and get 5+ rails without any ball hop. Furthermore, it follows to the Diamond Banking and kicking systems with little to no adjustment. The cue ball floats off the rails. They are fast but not springy.
Mark, thanks for the hard work and attention to detail.
If anybody needs table work done, especially rail work, Mark "The Mongoose" Gregory is your man.
