Say what you want.

But a very reputable table mechanic that worked for Orner Billiards in Indianapolis years ago told me they were made out of Charcoal.

I could even give you his name. Unlike that idiot u12armresl who keeps talking about people but won't give anybody any names.

Did you read the ChatGPT link? I too thought you were nuts, but apparently some form of charcoal has been used as a filler material in rubber formulas in the early days of rubber.

Anybody have any idea why a reputable table mechanic would have told me Charcoal?

Perhaps that was what was used years ago?

No dog in this fight, but . . . I assume sometime in your life you've picked up a piece of charcoal? If so, you know the answer. But if you believe that, make sure the carpet under the table is black . . . . as coal, which you may get!
