One of a Kind Centennial
- Thread starter CJH
- Start date
Hey Mark,
Obviously a labor of love! What a spectacular example of a real artists vision and a true craftsmans skill. This might be the finest example of a restored Centennial in the world.
Nobody builds better playing tables than you do Mark, period end of story. I now have to say nobody does better restoration and finsh work! That's as good as it gets.
Mark, your work reminds me of what Boyd Coddington or Chip Foose does for classic cars, you do for pool tables. It's more of a resto-mod than just a restoration. Your Centennial and Anniversary restorations incorporate all the best of the modern playing characteristics, with the classic beauty of the Brunswick art deco tables.
This last Centennial is some of your finest work to date. I'm just waiting to see your next project. You keep raising the bar higher and higher.
Keep up the great work! You're the best at what you do.

Thank you for the support of my work......coming from a great table mechanic like yourself helps me to keep looking forwards.
Trust me.....I have learned as much on my own ( mistake after mistake )....as I have from a lot of the mechanics around the country....such as yourself.
Glen pushes the most.....the more I argue with him....the better the work I do.....LMAO
Glen's been a lot of help to me in many ways.....trust me as well as I to him....but he's never going to tell that story....lol
I finished installing this table and was standing next to it....and couldn't believe I was the one that did the complete table....pics do this table no justice.
I couldn't have asked for a nicer guy (Chris) to own this table....super guy that 100% Truely appreciates the look and play of this table.
I now worry......can I make one as good or better...going to be a real test for me.
When guys such as yourself (Jay).....writes such a great post to complement another's work....just goes to show how much confidence you have in yourself and your work.
Thank you my friend....and thank you everyone for all the wonderful post.
Time to start on the next one....lol

Most beautiful Centennial I have ever seen, great work Mark!!! Nice cloth color selection too, glad to see people still using classic green. I did not quite understand but are the pocket "cuffs" blue? If so could you include a picture of the inside of the pocket please.
The cloth is Simonis 860 "English Green". I will post a picture of the pocket cuffs tonight for you. The color is a dark blue but I don't know what Simonis calls it. Maybe mark will post it here.
You may have the most gorgeous table of all time. Congrats and enjoy!
