I made the center out of 1" mosaic tile, then poured liquid epoxy overtop to seal it in. The entire table is made of 3/4 inch oak boards I bought from Lowes. I have another great design for this style of table, but I just don't have any place to put it. Thanks for the comments.
[email protected] made the inserts for the chips.
By the way, the table is finished now and the final pics have been posted to the same address as above.
