Drawknife billiard tables & accessory pieces are available in three different embellishments:
These designations refer to the amount of natural character in the logs that are used. When building tables, more highly specialized woodworking skills are required when there is more character in the materials. Standard tables are available in a clean-peeled, skip-peeled, gray weathered or beetle tracked texture. Wilderness and Burl logs are limited in availability therefore specific textures may be difficult to obtain.
Standard - contains primarily straight logs with minimal knots, bends or unusual character.
Wilderness - contains logs that feature what is sometimes called "cat face." The flowing patterns in the surface of the lodgepole pine trees can be caused by animal interaction (porcupine chew), a disease (paradarym harksieniam) or a past event that has left a scar on the bark of the tree. Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind. The Wilderness Madison contains three natural "Y's" that are elegantly hand-scribed into the trestle in the base of the table.
Burl utilizes the highly rare and bulbous burl wood in its construction. Over the years, the master Drawknife craftsmen have developed the skills necessary to build a burl table. Our team of designers and craftsmen will work closely with customers to create these works of art. A true collector's item.
