Quality Construction
Connoisseurs and novices alike
appreciate the elegance and quality
built into every Thomas Aaron Billiard
table. For over a decade, we have
designed and manufactured custom
tables to meet the exacting standards of
professional billiard players, celebrities
and a select clientele.
We invite you to experience the
fine craftsmanship evident in our
richly grained hardwoods, exotic
burls, and hand carved details,
all gracefully proportioned and
thoughtfully executed on each
design. Inspired and created to
reflect the timeless appeal of classic
furniture styles, our unique billiard
tables complement today's home
furnishings. This fresh, decorative
look is further enhanced by our
coordinating cue racks, chairs and
accessories.
Delve deeper and discover the
strength beneath the beauty. Ours
is a table built for performance and
longevity. Once you have had the
opportunity to play on one, you will
recognize the professional accuracy
and quality of play, inherent in
every Thomas Aaron Billiard table.
Cabinet Frame and Cross Bracing
Like the finest furniture, the baseframe
is constructed of solid,
kiln-dried hardwoods and select,
laminated wood veneers. The cross
bracing is the backbone of the table,
and made from solid timber bolted
at 10 points for maximum cabinet
stability. The insides of our cabinets
are stained and sealed to lock out
moisture. This guarantees an
absolutely rigid foundation for the
life of your table.
Hand-selected veneers, burls and
laminated hardwoods are used for
the rail assembly. Both the rail cap
and sub-rail use a block laminating
process that gives the rails
unsurpassed strength and longevity
for years of accurate play.
Rails
Rail surfaces are multi-step coated with a durable and scratch resistant
finish that is hand-rubbed to bring out the luster of the natural wood
grain.
Rails are fastened to the table with our Iron Jaw™ nut plate. This gives
the rail-to-table joinery approximately 70% more downward holding
strength than standard t-nuts used by other manufacturers.
Sights
The standard sights on all Thomas Aaron Billiard tables are genuine
mother of pearl with abalone inset diamonds. This feature is usually an
up-grade option from other manufacturers.
Slate
One-inch professional grade K-pattern slate is used on all tables.
Cushions
ProShot™ K66: The number one profile used in professional
tournaments.
Tested and proven to be one of the most responsive cushions in the
billiard industry, meeting all BCA specifications. It is made from 100%
pure high grade rubber that is UV protected, then covered with a
vulcanized cotton canvas on the top and back surfaces to give superior
rebound, accuracy and consistency of play.
Pockets
All pockets are made of the finest saddle grade leather. Bucket pockets
have extra-thick leather around the collar to prevent warping or curling
on the top rail surface. The bottom of the pockets are stitched rather
than stapled for added strength.
On tables requiring an open basket pocket, the leather is custom tooled to
match the table's design and then finished the same color as the table.
Finishes
While wooden components are engineered and machined by billiard
craftsmen, the finish is applied by furniture finishing experts. Every
Thomas Aaron Billiard table has a uniquely executed, hand applied
finish. From our years of furniture manufacturing experience, we have
acquired the technical expertise to apply gilding, distressing, glazing,
highlighting and other special finishing techniques that collectively bring
out the full beauty of each table.
