600 Chip 11.5 Gram Poker Chip Set. I bought the Chips from Wal-mart and got rid of the Cases. Half Blind Dovetail Oak Box, Lost in the Photo, but does pop in person with The General Finish Water Based Black Stain. Inside is soft maple dividers. the try is made of oak with walnut rails. The top is Purple Heart, Oak, Maple, Walnut. A Purple Heart lip of the box made for an easy way to even out the piano hinge as to not router or use the table saw for an even fit for the lid. The next poker set wont be so eclectic with the wood, probably a primary and a secondary, but i was just playing around trying to get a feel for the project. Plus, a chance to play with the new drum sander :) This is a very Heavy Gift.

Nice box. I like the lid..I tend to do allot of hardwood stripes like that! Great design with the stacking chip trays and the space for the cards and some dice. I just did a bunch of chip holders and now I was going to do a matching box for the cards and the dealer chip and some dice as well. I like your idea to put them all in one box!

To do it over again, i would separate the Middle Card Holder a bit better, and raise a center area to better access the dealer chips and dice.
