Can I use wood instead of slate for pool tables? Any advantages/disadvantages?
Monday, November 23rd, 2009Joey B asked:
I want to build by own pool table but I want it to be easily movable, which is why I don’t want to use slate. Is there any problem with using a lighter material that is as smooth (e.g. wood, carbon fiber, fiberglass)?
You say fiberglass would be too light, and that a light table isn’t worth playing on, can you elaborate as to why? if its as smooth, using rocks as oppose to a lighter more modern material seems the logical progression of the game…
