I was going to wait to post this until it was completely finished, but in light of Mike getting his new ShopBot, I thought it would be nice if I gave ShopBot some praise as well. My CAMaster gets a lot of the limelight.
Every part for this table top was cut using a ShopBot with the exception of the angles on the table apron.
The center of the table is 1 inch ply and will be covered with an insert that will be covered with leather.
The chip trays are carved from walnut as are the rings for the beverage holder inserts. The arm rails are maple as are the aprons. The inlay on the edge is walnut and was done with a rabbeting bit on the ShopBot. Yes it had a beaing on it!
The inlays on the aprons are mahogany and walnut. They are about 1/4 thick and not a veneer. The table can be refinished many times in the coming years and you will not have to worry about the inlays disappearing.
The legs will follow shortly. The poledancer that I posted a photo of in another forum will serve as the legs. 7 of them to be precise.
The poker table named "Strip Poker" is to be our signature piece for our new website launching in January.
Mike, I hope that this gets your gears turning and you start cranking out anything and everything you can think of!!!!!
