JB Woodcraft Pool Table Philippines
I would like help identifying a J.B. Woodcraft pool table from the Philippines. I got this pool table about 5 years ago from a storage unit that I acquired. I have no idea of the age or value.
It looks like it was made by JB Woodcraft in Betis, Guagua , Pampanga. I have tried to contact this company in the Philippines with no response. I’ve looked through a lot of the forums and don’t see anything comparable. The table is slate. I don’t know much more about it.
Any info on the billiard table would be appreciated.

Being in the high-end market, satisfying their clients’ requirements even to the smallest detail is very important.
The founder, Jose Bituin ("JB") learned woodcraft through his father's pool table factory when he was a kid.
Bituin learned the ropes of the furniture business by helping his father manage the factory making billiard tables when he was young. Although the shop did fairly well and he liked assisting his father, Bituin’s desire was to “have his own ship to pilot” someday
I believe "Betis Crafts, Inc." was Jose's first company name.
Since then, Betis Crafts Inc. (BCI) has become the country’s most respected conglomerate of furniture manufacturing companies. BCI has even expanded its export markets to US, Europe, Middle East, Australia, Japan and Russia.
The company has even given birth to three other companies managed by his children: More Than A Chair Inc., JB Woodcraft and Woodsource, which supplies raw materials for production. BCI products are also carried by popular international firms like And So To Bed in the United Kingdom and Williams-Sonoma and Restoration Hardware in the US.

Do you have any idea of the value of this pool table?

Nope. There are no comparable listings for this particular brand to reference (as far as I can tell).
There is nothing to compare it with, and no catalogs are available.
You will have to have someone look at it in person to assess the materials, craftsmanship, and condition. Then, with this information, you will have to do your research online for pool tables of similar construction, condition, and intricacy. Use that info, plus factor in where your table is located, and price it accordingly.
