Sweet!

How did you make the chip trays? Forstner bit?

I used a 1 1/2”dia round router bit on my shaper table. The maple is quite hard so I cut a v joint on my table saw and then ran it through the shaper. It took three passes to get to the final depth.

Very Very nice. You must be a very serious poker player.

Excellent. Having made one, I know (1) how heavy they are; (2) how much care needs to be taken to fit the chips precisely. Good job.

-- Whatever

Great job!

What kind of finish did you put on it?

This is an excellent box, regardless of what it’s intended purpose is! Good work.

On a side note, I had absolutely no idea how much poker chips actually weighed. Just goes to show you what some of us take for granted. hahaha

No stain, just the natural wood with a semi gloss poly finish.

Nice chip box. I built a cabinet to hold 1,000 chips along with cards. I may steal your idea for the chip trays, I used plastic trays that came with the chips.

This is a beautiful case Steve. What kind of chips do you store in it?
