"All In" Custom Poker Table

'All In' required over 600 man-hours of labor to create.
The surface was constructed using fifteen species of exotic wood (including: Madagascar Ebony, Rosewood, Purple Heart, Zebra Wood, Wormy Maple, English Brown Oak, Black Locust, Claro Walnut, Quilted Maple, Sycamore, Cherry, Catalpa, Black Walnut, Quarter-Sawn White Oak, and live-edge Ash).
The vectors that bisect each angle on the perimeter of the table are made from Madagascar Ebony and Rosewood. Their colors, black and red, represent the suits in a deck of cards. This idea is carried into the turnbuckle drink holders, which are designed as a quadrant of Black Walnut and Cherry.
The base was fabricated with gold-painted plumbing pipes and fittings to represent the bling associated with Las Vegas, and Edison Reproduction Light Bulbs.
The five diamond cutouts in the center of the table are a nod to the legendary Doyle Brunson and the WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic.
The organic nature of the live-edge Ash on the perimeter of the table symbolizes the fact that the game of poker requires complex thinking, as opposed to a systematic game like Black Jack.
To be a successful poker player, you must have plenty of skill, nerves of steel, and a good amount of luck.
The steel horseshoes that surround the WPT logos symbolize that combination.
