The piece that was cut out from the middle of the racetrack (on the right pic 1) is the playing surface. It got 1/4" pad glued to it similar to a mouse pad and then it got covered with suited casino speed cloth (pic 2). It then pops right back into place.
The board on the left (pic 1) is the base or underneath of the whole table and was the piece that got the 4" hand rail cut out from it originally. The whole project only used 2 4x8 sheets of 3/4" birch. Plus the padding, cloth, whisper vinyl, and the cup holders.
I custom built the legs because the customer wanted the table to sit about 4" higher than a standard table so the chair armrests would fit under it (pic 3). You can buy oak poker table legs very similar to these for about $500. This whole project cost $300 in materials and was very fun to do.
We've since replaced the black plasic cupholders with deeper stainless steel ones so now its even sharper looking. I've also cut out another piece of birch the exact same size as the playing surface, finished it with stain and clear coat so now we can pop out the playing surface and put in this piece and use the table to eat on before the big tournament.
