Our curing process is exacting and monitored constantly. If any batches are cured improperly or exposed to unacceptable moisture and/or temperatures, we reject them immediately. Superior Craftsmanship   To ensure flawless installation, our solid maple cabinets are assembled, pre-leveled, and squared at our factory. This pool table features the time-tested forged steel joinery. Pre-Assembled at Factory. NOT "Knock Down" We pay particular attention in matching grain patterns and alternating growth rings to create a beautiful canvass that will stand the test of time. Custom select hardwoods are bonded grain against grain for maximum strength and support. Be it detailed hand-carving, sanding and finishing, they are all done by experienced hands. Some of the hand-carving artisans have over 30 years of experience in the field, working hard to create lively details, piece by piece. Beams - Solid Kiln-Cured Maple   The uniform support system was engineered with strength and durability in mind, utilizing solid oak 2" x 4" center support beams and 2" x 4" thick solid oak crossbeams running the width of the table. This solid oak grid framework ensures maximum stability and exacting support for the slate playing surface Slate - 1" Thick. Oversized. Lumber-Framed.   Pure super-fine-grained slate is the cornerstone of a professional playing billiard table. Our slate is quarried from cliffs that have undergone millions of years of compression and heating during the natural geologic processes of the earth. We then carefully diamond-hone them to glass-like perfection that exceeds the specifications of the United States Billiard Congress of America (BCA) and back them with a Lifetime Warranty. Legs   Supporting the corner system of each table are large, beautifully hand-carved, solid oak legs. The legs are made from several laminations of stacked hardwood to create one solid piece for maximum strength and stability. Cushions   Greenleaf brand cushions are made from Billiard Congress of America tournament-approved 100% natural gum rubber with no fillers or stabilizers added. They are molded to a K-66 profile with control-fabric backing. This backing ensures that the rubber permanently adheres to the wood and that the felt does not loosen or move, allowing for maximum speed on each shot. Joinery   Greenleaf pool tables feature superior solid maple wood-truss joinery for corners and beam supports. Rails - Solid Kiln-Cured Maple. 6" Wide Profile.   The solid oak "wide profile" rails are built for durability as well as beauty. For an exact fit, aprons are attached at our factory. The floating nut plate secures the rail and apron to the slate bed with unyielding torque strength, allowing for exact alignment. Solid oak sub-rails are reverse grained and laminated to add weight and density in order to deliver optimal ball response. The cloth relief allows the rail to lay flush to the slate for a greater symmetry and strength.  Sights - Inlaid Mother-Of-Pearl Diamonds   Custom wide profile rails combined with our Precision-Inlayed, sharp pointed, diamond shaped mother of pearl sights give for a quality appearance you would expect from a fine piece of furniture. Pockets   Deluxe color-matched Genuine Leather Pockets wrapped around a die cast iron core for elegance and durability. The balls are held in a leather mesh pocket adorned with a "classic fringe" or "leather shield" surround. The leather is treated for stain and scuff resistance. Finish   After all the effort put into the curing and hand-carving of the wood, we wouldn't dare try to protect it with an inferior finish. We only use premium, oil-based, brand-name finishes. They are formulated to be impervious to water, alcohol, marking and scratching.  Heirloom Quality   This pool table is hand-carved and hand-constructed. All specifications, materials and features are designed to meet or exceed the standards set by the Billiard Congress of America (BCA) and backed by a Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty. This pool table is not a toy. We only offer professional-playing, heavy-duty game tables which are designed to provide a lifetime of enjoyment.
