What a great birthday surprise! A beautiful traditional mahogany stained pool table delivered just in time for a birthday/Memorial Day celebration. This Fischer Sorbonne pool table has scalloped rails and cabinet frame, provides a perfect party centerpiece.
Coto Once, Twice, Thrice.
Three different pool tables, three different homes, one zip code. DK Billiard Service helped some nice folks get their Memorial Day parties in Coto de Caza, CA started. First, we finished up a setup, refelt, recushion job on an old International Billiard Table. At thirty years old, this pool table still looks great and with [...]
Before and After: Mended Pool Table Legs
Last week we were called out to a home for just a “relevel”. As it turned out, the table had been moved improperly (for the third time). We ended up taking the pool table all apart and storing it in the customer’s garage while we repaired the pool table legs in our shop and recushioned [...]
Most Interesting Pool Table of the Month
Sometimes we get called to service a pool table and the owner “forgets” to tell us they have something a bit unusual. Take this custom pool table in San Juan Capistrano, CA. We came out to disassemble this pool table so the moving company could safely move it up north to Santa Barbara,CA. Wow! It [...]
Fusion Pool Table Setup – Out of the Box
We haven’t posted much on how the Fusiontable by Aramith goes together, so we took a few photos on a recent delivery to Sherman Oaks, CA to give you an idea of what it looks like. The Fusion Pool Table comes in a giant crate/pallet. It isn’t put together (we do that), so it looks [...]
Going On a Stainless Steel Safari
Here are few photos of another great looking Aramith Fusion Pool Table we recently delivered and set up in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. The Ocelot Beige print on the wenge rails and camel cloth on the slate brings a little safari edge without losing the simplicity of the overall look. And, the stainless steel frame [...]
How NOT to Move Your Pool Table: Part 4
Once again we have come across a pool table that has been moved improperly. This owner (and his friends) in Trabuco Canyon, CA thought it would be a great idea to move his 8′ 3 piece slate, World of Leisure pool table for a party dance floor. They put the pool table legs inside of [...]
Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
To most folks this looks just like a regular pool table. It’s an 8′ 3 piece slate pool table,an 8 footer that has leather pockets and carved legs. And, in that sense, it is a regular pool table. But, when we were called out to setup and refelt this pool table, we found that the [...]
Cushion Rubber: Part 2
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Not all pool table cushion rubber is created equal. Depending on the type of rubber, age and environmental conditions, typical cushion rubber lasts about 20 years. Some a little less, some a little more. And then there are the exceptions to the rule. Take our Looking [...]
Before and After: Looking Good at 40
Last week we posted a few photos of a Mitchum pool table from the 1960s. We went back out to Walnut, CA to finish the second leg of the new flooring move and to refelt this unique 9 foot pool table. The burgundy felt makes the table pop and after 40 years with the original [...]
Most Interesting Pool Table of the Week
We see quirky and sometimes odd pool tables while out and about doing pool table service in Southern California. But every once in a while we come across one that makes us do a double take. Take this interesting Mitchum pool table in Walnut, California. The frame style is highly unusual with narrow bottomed pedestal [...]
Blast From the Past Retro Pool Table
We definitely aren’t strangers to having Fischer pool tables around. But seeing a Fischer pool table circa 1960 is another story. It’s not the first time we have seen this table. We moved and refelted it a few years back. But it is such a cool looking table we just had to post a picture. [...]
