Pool room accent wall before and after

[jalapus logan]

I'm so stoked about my new pool room that I don't even play pool anymore, lololol. I just go down there and chill and look at wood and what not. Maybe one day I'll pick the cue up again, but right now enjoying other things in life. Check out my concrete wall before and after (so sweet I thought it deserved its own thread). It looks incredible, even better in person, I am beyond pleased. The Wood is from a post office in South Carolina (about an hour outside of Charleston) and was built in 1887 and was reclaimed by my wife's grandfather decades ago. Nice to give it new life. Used multiple mortise & tenon beams, installed both vertically and horizontally. Talk about robust drink rails, lol. This is old growth South Carolina forest folks, can't go buy this stuff at Lowe's. No finish on the wood, only used wire brushes to clean them up. The bottom beam is over 21 feet long. Not yet 100% complete, but still loving it.

Cheers,

JL

I'm going to go out on a limb about that speaker, Warfdale?

99.9% done with the accent wall. Loving those mortise carpenter's marks! This project was a gamble...but I feel like I won that bet! I'm now officially fresh out of excuses as to why I have not been playing any pool, lolololol.

Nice!

I like the floor too. How was the floor done?

Post Office wood?

Now you're stuck playing 1-Pocket.

The floor is unreal cool...Taylormade Concrete did it...epoxy coating. Very cool as well.

It's beautiful and repurposing the wood is nice and meaningful, I bet.

Absolutely. This wood sat in my wife's aunt's storage shed for decades. So awesome that it is now getting new life.

Will epoxy damage balls that fly off the table? I have concrete and my cue ball looks a little worse for wear. I don't really want to do carpet.

 

[jalapus logan]

That's fricken beautiful !!!!!!

Thanks. I never envisioned that I would ever have a space this nice....big big thanks to the lady of the house

 

[jalapus logan]

I don't think so. Epoxy seems more forgiving than bare concrete too. I'm very very pleased with the epoxy in the pool room. I could see pool rooms using epoxy for floors as well. Durable as hell too . I would choose this floor covering again in a heartbeat.

Thanks, this may be the route I go, looks great!

It looks better in person. This is not the home Depot garbage. Professional install, with artistry. You will love it like I do I suspect. Best of luck, Neil
