Boy, did I learn A LOT on his project. I kinda-knew there was a difference between Pool and Billiards,....but when you have a client who played SNOOKERS when he went to Georgia Tech (across the road in a room ABOVE The Varsity, so I understand....) you darn-better find the RIGHT product for this discerning pool enthusiast.
Months ago, after stopping at the WRONG pool-table distributor,...I later found the RIGHT place: GREATER SOUTHERN HOME RECREATION (www.greatersouthernhomerec.
Gabriel Chapman, of Chapman Billiard's Installers, at work, smoothing out the lines separating the 3 panels of slate with BEESWAX!
I never realized that better pool tables are CUSTOM-installed on site......AMAZING skills by Chapman's Billiards Installers!
Since I was proposing from an Atlanta Showroom (and my client preferred
to visit what I had found in Atlanta), the RIGHT installer for
Asheville, North Carolina was KEY!
After I did my homework, finding 2-3 choices of: tables, light fixtures, barstools and pub tables, I set-up an appointment for my client to meet Chris and me t the Showroom. Within an hour, my client chose from our proposals, impressed with the "homework" I had done 2 weeks earlier.
Last Wednesday's installation by Gabriel Chapman's company was like watching artistry-at-work. I could blog JUST on his skills and workmanship alone; suffice it to say, the Connelly pool table came down a split-staircase in stages: the legs, the top, the 3 panels of 1 1/4" SLATE, the fine black, worsted wool,....where ALL is custom-built ON-SITE (simply amazing, I thought). How many of you out-there know about using bees-wax in the installation?

Connelly table I found at GREATER SOUTHERN HOME RECREATION.
Chris Jurnack REALLY knew his product!

We found this fine, AMERICAN-MADE furniture (2 Pub tables and 4 Bar stools) at Greater Southern Home Recreation, Atlanta.
Who knew? Instead of the standard cue stick wall storage, Greater Southern offers this FINE storage BENCH. Additional seating for 2 more people; I liked that!
Close up of leather pocket on Connelly table and the hand-knotted rug I found for my clients.
Connelly brand 9' custom pool table from Greater Southern Home Recreation.
An oil painting we used in the room...
End result: another Mark Sunderland Interiors success story. Clients LOVED IT,......and I couldn't have done it without the help and knowledge of such fine, CONSUMATE, professionals.
Let me know if you have a burning-desire for a new pool room in your home. As you can see,.....I travel for business. ....and especially like when everything turns out JUST-RIGHT.
Set-'em UP, Jimmy!
Best to all....
Mark.
