I'm your Huckleberry (1 Viewer)

[Rockytop]

I am in the super early planning stages of a custom set. I know less than nothing compared to most of you about poker chips.

I'm related to Doc Holiday and love the movie Tombstone, and I want to do a set based off that. The poker table I built is based off the same theme.

I would try (if possible) to use like a silhouette image of this on the inlay. I don't have a name for my poker game or anything, but thinking of calling it The Huckleberry. I've ordered all the samples from CGC, but leaning towards the center square or H mold off of what I've read on here and seen.

I think I'd like to have a Southwest sort of feel to the color scheme of the chips.

Anyway, that's my thoughts so far. I'm going to take my time with every step, so it will likely take me forever to finish this. Any thoughts or feedback on any this would be most welcome.

That's really cool you have relation to him. I love the set idea and have considered something similar myself. Off the top of my head, I would say look into the horsehead mold as well as check out some Deadwood chips for great old school inlay designs. Many are simple, but really effective and nice. The latter also usually have some great bright edge spots while still keeping that same old western feel.

Thank you for the feedback! I'll check out the Deadwood chips, as well as the horsehead mold...that's a good idea.

Cool idea and a big fan of Tombstone also. I’ve got no artistic or creativity skills, just know what I like when I see it.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I posted some pics of my table in my intro thread, but thought I'd put some in here as it goes along with the theme. The chips, picture, cards, etc...are all under an epoxy layer.

Please excuse the dirty table.

Love this idea! Can’t wait to see how it comes along.

If you want an alliteration:
Huckleberry Hall
Huckleberry House

You could use the pistols some where in there too maybe.

I really like this as an inspiration for the inlay!! Simple, yet cool and focuses more on Doc Holiday vs the movie. (Although it is a great movie and Val played the best Doc Holiday ever!!)

Love the idea for set and being related to Holiday makes even better!

If anyone hasn’t seen it, the documentary call “Val” about his struggle with throat cancer is pretty incredible.

Agreed. It's really great.

This is the correct answer. Love the ideas thrown around, but with these chips already in the table it would be hard to beat. Maybe not the same chip design, but the Oriental Saloon name would be perfect.

I have also worked on a similar theme as I think I've seen that movie more than others. Also love the southwest and old west, and my wife and aunt both grew up in Tucson.

Another theme I'm working with right now is for the Weathford Hotel/ Zane Gray Ballroom from Flagstaff, AZ. It's my all-time favorite place to drink, and the Zane Gray room upstairs actually has the original Tombstone bar.

That's cool! Looking forward to seeing the set yoir working on. I've been through Tucson. I toured Old Ticson studios a few years ago where so many Westerns were filmed...including part of Tombstone.

My initial thought was to go with The Oriental Saloon, and I might still do that...I like the Doc Holiday focus as well.

Love the idea! For the color pallette you can just search southwest color pallete and you can find all colors that flow well together for example.

Good idea, that's cool

HCE mold is the correct answer if you’re doing a southwest theme. Simple and classic. Plus the H for Huckleberry makes it an easy choice. Can’t wait to see what you decide.

Then you probably should know that his last name was "Holliday"...
