Holy cow man. That is one heck of ambitious first project. Nice work.

How did you decide to joint each piece of the octogon? Dowels, Dimonos (spelling?), Screws?

Nice job

I made an octgon poker table about 3 years ago myself. Mine is out of oak with orange felt and has fold-up legs but, it is not nearly as good looking as yours!
Fantastic job!! Congrads and I hope you win ALOT of money and have ALOT of fun playing on it. It is beautiful.

Hi I see from your profile you have no age? Hope you're very young and filled with enthusiasm cos if that's the first piece you've done you have a great future.

Very well done!!

First project? Do you often jump right into things? No small jewelry boxes or coasters or anything to start with huh? Just went for it! Very nice indeed!

ha ha thanks.. I'm 28, nope that was my first project.. Oh i did make a work bench, but nothing special. The thing is, I have always wanted to work with wood, and i have a addiction to tools. so.... then my twin boys were born.... and puts the stop to the shop.. ha

but thanks guys for the kind words.. maybe a shop tour next?

That is a great looking table. I really like the choice of felt for it. I'm sure it will see hours of fun times.

Thanks!! if I put this on CL what should i ask for it?

Fantastic piece! What did you make the table top player areas out of? It looks like 4x8 (16/4) stock of something dark and pretty. I don't see any glue up lines.

I have no idea what to ask for it, but my first thought was $800 or twice what you paid for materials, whichever is higher.

This one is going for over $8000, and in some ways is not as nice as yours. Probably not as well made.
