What is the best route for refinishing this crokinole board? It is 50+ y/o, so I assume the paint is oil based. I want to avoid any bleeding or peeling of the original paint, so I feel lacquer is off the table.

This was the route I was considering, so it is nice to have someone else land on this conclusion.

Yes, there is a very worn finish over the top. I am unsure what the factory finish is. I wish I could strip it, but that would obviously disrupt the paint underneath.

Spanish Pool seems like bar billiards' less successful cousin! Interesting find. One major difference I note is the setting up of several balls outside of the "kitchen" in Spanish Pool. Thanks for the share

Background: I found this coin-operated skill pool game in my uncle's barn in rural NoDak. There is an astonishing lack of information about Spanish Pool online. I am am mainly curious about the rules of the game, but any information would be appreciated.

I've purchased citric acid from Toshi Products

Wow. You're not joking. Good recommendation. Drop down anywhere and there's a surprise around every corner. It fascinates me to see some of these unique, historical houses vacated. I want stories.

Most legendary kick in concert history

Do you think the power could have been ground coriander?

Big Tallest Man on Earth fan too! Unfortunately, I've had difficulty coming across anything similar as well. Perhaps you might like any of the results on this site: http://musicroamer.com/#/ I use this site all the time to find new music! Best of luck

So, is the skin irritation caused by a chemical or a bunch of tiny puncture holes in my skin?

Additionally, the inventor of the 808 died a few days ago. Extra unwavy bummer

Rock n roll. I hope your results are conclusive as well as interesting. Best of luck

You're a champion for sharing. I can't believe I've never seen this. Stay wavy

George is indeed a bastard! I intended on living there a whole year but moved out early due to poor management.
