<DIV><SPAN class=655234018-19112004>I'm tellin' ya guys... Billiard slate is the
hot setup. Designed and milled to be dead level, comes premounted to
particle board, and it's free. Even the slightest chip in an edge
ruins the peice for use on a pool table. The peices I have you'd be hard
pressed to even tell where the chip is without a good inspection, and yet they
gave them away. Zero value if they're not perfect.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=655234018-19112004>And while they're heavy...they're not
unmanagable. I'm able to move mine by myself (it's some work) when
needed. Again...most peices are a third of a table...about 30" by
50" Perfect size for our purposes (though I did need to put two together
to sheet my Carden wings.) </SPAN></DIV>

suggest using a sensitive level, and, while you're at it, put a 4 ft.
straightedge down, and shine a flashlight down one side, while you look down the
other. Don't be shocked at what you find. Remember, after it is
screeded, gone over with a bull float, and troweled, it's a miracle that it even
appears flat.<BR>Bill Glaze<BR><BR>Nat Penton wrote:<BR>
