Custom Poker Table Felt Thread (6 Viewers)

Thought I’d share mine as I’m going through this thread for inspiration on a new custom felt.

Here’s a basic custom, BBO base design with simple custom text:

It was a build by BBO Poker tables I got a couple of years ago (semi custom where you choose from a list of options and they build).

Shared some info here:

The rail is this material:

I really like the felt design it came with, but might change it so looking here for thoughts.

Thanks for sharing. Looks even better close-up! Does it live up to its "soft" name?
I tried to find a local supplier here in Australia without success, but I did find it listed somewhere as "marine vinyl". A good friend runs a marine upholstery business about 2 hours away from me, so I might be in luck if he sources anything from Enduratex.
Edit: I personally really like the current felt design you've got on this. Unless it's worn and needs replacing, I'd save my money for something else rather than replace it. But that's just my personal take.

Yep- I’d say it’s more flexible than soft. I like the look of it for a couple of reasons - glad I went for it.

I really like the current felt design, it’d last for years. However I have a slight case of the ‘PCF curse’ and would like to make it a little more personal - the font I had added is still super basic and I could have done a better job there.

I ordered a color & felt sample from @T_Chan today - no rush to make a change, but think part of the next evolution on the home setup:

Next step sounds like is to decide either ‘smooth’ or ‘fleece’ side up. Will wait and see when I get the sample.

With amateur dealers, always opt for the most slippery felt. It's rule #1

Yeah, @T_Chan recommended:

“Looks like you have a dedicated dealer spot. For that style of table, I would recommend the fleece side. You only need the smooth side if you plan on dealing from the ends of the table and need max card glide.”

However most of my games will be self dealt, and my current table is on the more ‘fleecey’ side and folk do struggle to pitch the cards across if you sit at the ends. So I’m leaning the smooth side.

I had a crack at making a V2 of the existing felt design for you, paying homage to the original that already looks so nice on that table. I hope you like it.

Quick questions for my European fellas, where would you buy your table cloth? All I seem to find ia either the normal speed cloth or poker top (which btw I wonder if it can be used for a custom build table).

Thanks in advance!

I've got some adresses if still in need.
 
I am just now seeing this thread. The artwork is mine, but Gorilla Gaming did my printing.

In this pic, you can see the felt draped over the rear table, as it wasn’t completed just yet. I’m thrilled to have the same felts on my tables now. You can see the tables are slightly different sizes, shapes and configurations, but the felts being the same makes most people think they are identical.
 
Man I’m bored at work today. Let me start with, I can’t afford a table right now, but one can daydream. Someday, would love to do a custom table for my basement. Would double as a board game table. I’m thinking about a concept themed around poker, D&D, with nods to another interest, WWE. I worked this up a thumbnail concept in PowerPoint so the proportions all off, and I’d recolor the card graphics from red to pink matching the font, but you’ll get the idea. Let me know what you think!

It might just be my OCD but the full hearts should be the top three to the left. At least according to legend of Zelda.

We use the poker table for board games all the time.

I would lean into one theme a bit more, if its a poker table you don't really want the full card art on it. It's a poker table seems redundant to me.

I would do something like a dungeons layout and put images of iconic D&D monsters.

Something like this for the base

and then something like this to mark the phat loots

Love it! Also, I’m not sure about the Zelda thing. I think it drains right to left, top to bottom. I took this from Google, but that’s how I thought I remembered it. Maybe I’ve got a Mandela effect

That’s funny. Maybe the olds school Zelda games exhausted hearts that way. I can’t remember that I ever had 2 rows on the old games. The new ones. BOTW and TOTK exhaust from bottom right

That must be it - I haven’t played much of BOTW.
 
I'm currently at the final design stages with the team from Chanman Poker tables and couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. Here's what will be printed unless they say something needs to change.

Background - I've been an Ayrton Senna fan since I can remember watching races. Loved the mid-80s Lotus FI John Player Special livery and have a fully themed racing garage where we play poker. Including a 14' x 8 ft Carrera slot car layout. Also, I own a Lotus Evora 400.
