When we hear World of Leisure we sometimes cringe. They haven't put out a decent pool table in years. One of the worst out there. However, they did make some, long ago, in the USA that turned out to be fairly decent tables. So, when we got to our job we were expecting the worst and hoping for the best.
Turns out the clients had a very nice medium oak WOL table. The construction was great and the slate was phenomenal. They only hired us for cloth installation and ended up choosing black. Great choice on an oak table. They also setup, leveled, and waxed the table themselves. The extra cost in having us do it was not in their budget. We say it all the time. Don't try this at home. It never turns out great.
To our suprise they did fairly decent with it. There were bad spots on the level and the wax job was done with candle wax. Please dont ever use candle wax! Beeswax is the way to go. There wasn't much we could do for the level at that point considering it really needed some Big Break love. We did fix the wax job for them though since it wasn't completely un-dented in the center screws area.
Overall, the table came out beautiful and the customers were extremely pleased. We also did some retips for two cues and did some shaft work for them on those. Again, came out great and they loved them. Thanks guys!
