parquet pattern racetrack poker table at WSoP exhibition
Recently, I was at the WSoP in Vegas, and while wandering around the exhibit hall, I saw the most beautiful table. It was a racetrack design, but there was a parquet pattern in the racetrack material. It had a very high gloss shine. Each individual square in the pattern was about 1". Each cluster of three 1" parquet squares (each with the grain running in a different direction) ws probably 2" or so.
They were much smaller than the squares/clusters used on parquet flooring (which tend toward the 6" size). did anyone who saw this beautiful table happen to get a business card, or the company's name? it was towards the rear-right of the exhibition hall. Expecting it to be pretty expensive, and overestimating I could figure out how to do it myself, (and assuming they wouldn't tell me if I asked 'em) - I unfortunately did not get any info on it, other than knowing I want to make my current racetrack look like theirs. I struck out at Lowes, and Home Depot. However, one guy from Lowes, (who coincidentally makes/sells poker tables) referred me to a neat new wood worknig shop/supply house, which opened about 9 months ago. THIS guy didn't have any easy or quick solutions; other than to hand-make my own parquet material - which would probably take a ton of time and effort. To this extent I bought a book on marquetry/parquetry - but would much prefer to find some place with a finished sheet I could simply cut out to fit over the current race track (which was in need of being elevated 1/4" anyway). Anyone ever seen anything like this? anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Aces, doc |
