This is one of the projects we are currently working on.
It started out as two pub tables for the game room and turn into a great money making oppurtunity.

Those are cool Woody,
How big are they and what did you do for the inset?

Thanks Mike.
The round tables are 24" pub tables. The sqaure Harley table is 34".
We inlayed them with Corian Night Sky solid surface.

very nice inlay work.

I'm wondering what you have in mind for bases?

I wish I had a 100th of your gift..

These are the legs.

Nice job. The talented people on this forum never cease to amaze me. You should get a lathe and turn some pint glasses now.

Thanks for the compliments. I already bought the glasses at the Dallas Cowboy Store.
If anybody has any ideas for inlays, I am looking for other options. Already gonna do a Texas A & M one and a Dallas Cowboy one if I can find a wood that will work.
The solid surface inlays are really cool and gives us a wide range of colors to use.

Those look great.

woodman, clearly you are a fan and a true Texan, but why limit yourself to those teams? You could easily market these to all kinds of teams and fans. I'm sure if you started making any real money at it, you'd have to get licensing from the prospective owners of the logos and such, but that'd be a small price to pay, I'm sure. Well, probably not, actually, it may make your stuff cost prohibitive but it's worth looking into before discounting it completely.

All kinds of sports pubs all over the place for soccer, baseball, hockey, football, you name it, somebody would buy a table like that. Or 20.

Where's the Texas A&M logo?

Thanks. We started with Texas because those were the ones that we built for my gameroom which is pretty much Cowboys, Texas A&M, Beer and Ford themes. The Harley one is for an auction at our local tavern to raise money for our anuall Make a Christmas Happen for local needy families.
We have plans to do a variety of different themes to entice folks to custom order whatever they want in one.

The Texas A&M is one of the next ones on the list to do. Will post pics when they are completed.
