Going to build my first poker table and have been searching alot through the forums and have a few questions if anyone with knowledgeable insight could help I would greatly appreciate.
First my plan is to build a 90x44 10 person table with a 6” wide raised 1” rail.
For the wood…..I have read Ill need 3 sheets of 3/4” plywood. BUT I have also seen people say they use 3/4” for the base….then use 1/2” for the playing surface and the rail.
I really want to build this one time without any regrets.
But I also like the idea of using 1/2” for decreasing the weight and costs of materials.
So my questions:
1) What type of wood should I use? Normal Hd/Lowes Plywood? Maple plywood? Advantages to either?
2) What wood Thickness’ should I use for the playing surface and rail? I plan to use 3/4” for the base.
Thanks!
