The Sentinel was also on my short list, they have 10 foot table as well, but with the weaker aussie dollar and shipping costs from Asia (they told me thats the closest distributor) it was too expensive.

Just a thought you may have not considered Diamond will build you a table with any wood they have, for just a few hundred extra. There have been some unique looking ones posted over the years here. One I remember was 2 tone half maple and half dark colored wood (maybe walnut?). It was a looker for sure.
Here is the thread where I posted photos of the new diamond tables with the pressed paper wood instead of diamond wood.

Earlier in the thread, Glenn indicated diamond liked their new process over diamond wood but the visual was clearly different if you compare with the diamond wood table photos posted later in the thread.
CK -- Thanks for the reminder on where we read about, and saw, those new black Diamonds. (I spent a lot of hours watching one of those on the Turning Stone stream.
)I also remember there was that one off cocobolo table, it was beautiful, but I wanted the dymondwood for its advantages and in rosewood it looks pretty good too.

Ive been waiting a couple of months for a table and am being told they are supposed to get their first shipment of new diamond wood in by the end of the month. Im glad I found this post because I thought I was just getting the run around. I hope the new stock is just as good as the old stuff.
Awesome... Are you actually in DC? I think many people have that as their location but actually live in VA...
I ask because I live in DC and it is quite difficult to find a home large enough that will accommodate a full 9' table.

They had the "replacement" black Diamonds at Turning Stone. They all had scratches on the rails and every fingerprint would show. That material is not very good for tables.
No, I'm actually in Woodbridge....I'm putting it in the garage.

As part of the ongoing negotiation strategy......once the wife approved me spending over $6k on a pool table, she couldn't stand to see it just go into a bare garage (she's already given in on having her precious car left in the driveway). So, she's hired a guy to come in and dry-wall/paint the garage and is shopping for shop flooring. At this point, I'll leave well enough alone.
Spoke with Diamond yesterday...they're looking at getting their Dymondwood made by a company in Illinois (or Indiana) that makes Dymondwood gunstocks and knife handles. The company had to retool to get forms big enough for pool table rails, and the VP at Diamond is waiting on a sample to approve mass order. Should be any day...
