    Latest Poker Table Project

    Hi all, been lurking awhile, a ton of great information here.

    Here's my recent project. Inlaid poker table with pullout cup drawers and a custom chip drawer. I did not build the pedestal, but did add the inlays to the stringer. Inlay work was done with a shopbot.

    That is an amazing table! Great work.

    Very nice work there.

    On the hand with the 388AA, if you are playing hold-em you might need those pistols if you manage to get the As in the guy's hat up onto the board and roll over your aces-full with 2 As.

    Maybe THAT's why AA88 is known as the "dead man's hand" (actually it was supposedly the hand that Wild Bill was holding when he was shot in the back..)

    Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm really hoping to get to start another one here soon. Had a guy call me the other night, after seeing this table, and seemed real interested in having me do another one.

    In the meantime, I'm getting ready to start an end grain butcher block countertop with a mix of domestic and exotic woods for my sister's kitchen remodel.

    From one player to another. Nice work.

    A lot fancier than my utilitarian tables, I do have a fancy table on the drawing board for "The Hound's Den) my downstairs bar. Unfortunately other projects keep getting moved up the list.

    That table is beautiful! Great work. I would hate to deal on that table. I would need a stick like they have at the craps table to pull the bets in and award the pots!....or does it just look massive...
