********BALLS ARE NOT INCLUDED********* This item is made from rea, authentic bourbon barrel staves. We start by cleaning off any char, dirt, and grime and sand off any rough edges. Once assembled, we coat it with several coats of semi-gloss lacquer finish. These racks are the standard pool game rack size. The 8-ball rack measures approximately 14" tall by 15 - 1/2" wide by 1" thick. The 9-ball rack measures approximately 15 - 1/4" tall by 9" wide by 1" thick. You can see in the photos, the balls fit perfectly inside the racks. All of our items are made from real, authentic, used, and refurbished bourbon barrel parts and have been used to distill bourbon. All barrels are different! Some might be bigger or smaller than others. They may not look exactly the same as the ones in the photos. They all have some imperfections, which include, but are not limited to, cracks, checks, discoloration, missing pieces, gaps in the wood, and some may not lay perfectly flat. This happens after a barrel has been dried out after years of being soaked in bourbon. We try to get out as many of these imperfections as we can, without losing its natural, rustic look. But this is what makes each item truly unique and one of a kind. We try to ship items out within 3-5 business days, but, depending on stock availability, it could take up to 2 weeks. ********NOTE********* Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii costs extra, message me with your zip code before purchasing and I will get you an exact amount.
