Building surface

[Atwood, Mark]

I'm tellin' ya guys... Billiard slate is the hot setup.  Designed and milled to be dead level, comes premounted to particle board, and it's free.   Even the slightest chip in an edge ruins the peice for use on a pool table.  The peices I have you'd be hard pressed to even tell where the chip is without a good inspection, and yet they gave them away.  Zero value if they're not perfect.
 
And while they're heavy...they're not unmanagable.  I'm able to move mine by myself (it's some work) when needed.  Again...most peices are a third of a table...about 30" by 50"  Perfect size for our purposes (though I did need to put two together to sheet my Carden wings.)

And, to anyone who thinks that concrete is level, I suggest using a sensitive level, and, while you're at it, put a 4 ft. straightedge down, and shine a flashlight down one side, while you look down the other.  Don't be shocked at what you find.  Remember, after it is screeded, gone over with a bull float, and troweled, it's a miracle that it even appears flat.

It would be nice to be able to "pour" the surface and let gravity do the leveling. Concrete is too viscous and needs to be screeded.
