Got a call from my buddy Wes at billiard fitters. Guy in Jacksonville, Fl had a beautiful Ohlhausen 7ft pool table for sale. So I loaded up my trailer and headed north. After speaking to the guy I found out he’s the original owner.
After tearing down the table and hauling back to my shop, I was about to post it for sale, then all of a sudden I was approached by a local pool player looking for a 7ft table. Divine intervention I guess.
The new owner wanted new felt, even though the original felt was in great condition. We went with red Simonis.
As I got started on the rails i found something Interesting. When I tore down the table I did see a lil damage to a side skirt on the rail system, so went in to investigating mode and tore it apart, and guess what I found…… a bullet, a damn bullet.
So after looking at it, I determined it had to have been a ricochet off the floor into the side skirt. Not sure how it happened, I’m hoping it was a misfire and not a domestic issue.
So after that fun I shimmed the pockets to a 4 1/2 opening, and finished covering the rails.
Had to wait a month for the room to be ready so when it was, I got started with centering and leveling the base. Then the slate went on, leveled out, and re-covered
Table looks amazing , and the new owners couldn’t be happier with their new table.
