    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

After working in all aspects of the retail billiard industry for 11 years, and seeing what buyers were paying for the quality they were getting, I stopped saying "I can do better than that!" and started building pool tables.

That was 23 years ago. I started by making traditional tables that were made of beefier, higher quality materials, that featured better engineering and joinery than could found elsewhere. Over the years I always made my tables a better and better while commercially available tables got cheaper and weaker.

Luckily I had no ambition of creating a large company, so I am still poking along making tables while the effects of 9/11, the real estate bubble, Chinese imports and the Recession have put the Billiard industry in the crapper ( can I say that? ). It's still kind of fun…
