How to build a poker table

If you've got woodworking skills and/or you know eactly what you want so you can direct a woodworker what to do, you can look to build your own poker table. So the big question is how to build a poker table. Ultimately, it's not that hard.

For example, you can look to build a six-sided table with the following specifications:

• Make it so that the top does not flip (unlike some of those store-bought poker tables)
• By making it so that it doesn't flip, this allows you to make extra-deep drinkholders (very important) and a removable center felt area
• Then make a hidden drawer (false apron on one side) for the poker chips and money bank
• You can use whatever wood that you may have access to but 5/4 red oak, with solid 8/4 for the legs would be good to go
• For the 'finish', a gel stain followed by several coats of polyurethane, rubbed out with steel wool and wax would also be ideal
• For the felt, remember that you can use any high quality billiards cloth.
