Earlier this year in March I did my first home show at the BC Home & Garden show where I got a 10'x15' booth. I've signed up for another one coming up at the end of October, the BC Home & Design show. I'm in the process of making a solid Oak dining table cover for the display model poker table I'm using. It's the same table as the last home show which is a 42"x88" oval table with genuine leather rail.
A few things I'm changing is that my booth will be smaller this time, 10'x10' and I'm going to add some gold leaf to the claw feet of the table and the suits in the stretcher. Instead of using 2 full sized tables, I'll be doing 1 full size table and mini tables at 50% scale as examples.
Table in point:
My display from last year:
The topper I'm building for it will be dyed black to match. I'm thinking of adding a gold leaf inlay inset from the edge of the table to match the rest of the table but undecided.
Mini tables are in the works, so far just the bases are done. That giant wood slab is on my CNC machine so until that's done I can't cut the tops for the mini tables.
Full size table behind it. Plastic fill is still on these so the look very unfinished.
Spray can for scale:
