Poker Table

Very nice

She’s a beauty. I think I’m going to do one soon. What type of foam did you use under the playing surface? I’ve been scouting the casino tables and I’m thinking rubber foam is what I’m leaning towards. Have you given any thought to building a topper to convert it to a dinning table?

I used Volara foam. It’s 1/2” thick under the rail, and 1/4” thick under the playing surface. The foam isn’t cheap, but it is supposed to hold up well if it gets wet (fortunately I have not tested this). The other nice thing is it has no memory. You can have your elbows pressed into that rail for 8 hours, and the next morning, there are no indentations at all.

One of the players at my game has suggested he would like to buy the table, but with the ability to convert it to a dining table. So I have given making a second top a little thought, but nothing serious yet.

i used a thin carpet pad under my felt to give it that spongy feel that you find on most quality table (makes lifting the cars WAY easier without creasing them). got it for free too since it was a small piece. Went to a carpet place, asked for a piece 4’x8’ and the guy asked what it was for, told him a poker table, he laughed and just gave me the piece for free..

just a thought if you decide to make a new one, or for anyone else.

Wow, very professional result. Great design. Looks like a lot of good times ahead.
