Texas Holdem Custom Tables

If you really want to play poker in style, then Texas Holdem custom tables are the way to go. If you have the money, the sky is the limit – you can personalize everything from the table top to the finish. You can even build a poker table to match a theme by using customized poker table felts with logos or monograms.

If you’re not the artistic type, it may be hard to visualize how your texas holdem custom table will look as a finished product. Most of us don’t walk around with poker table blue prints in our heads, so it’s nice to be able to see what we might like before getting too far into the process.

Some outlets will allow you to build a poker table online by allowing you to choose different options for each part of your custom table and see how they look before buying. Typically the site will display a picture of a table that will change as you try different options, allowing you to match a burgundy table top with a cherry finish, for example. This is a good place to start the process, even if you eventually buy your custom poker table somewhere else.

Customized Poker Table Felts

Probably the coolest thing about buying a custom Texas Holdem poker table is the ability to customize your felt. Of course, you can always choose leather for your poker top; I like this option a lot myself, but if you want to really personalize your poker table with an image, then you’ll need to choose a felt surface.

There are several different methods of transferring images to felt - airbrushing, screen printing, and dying. You can airbrush or screen print to just about any type of poker felt, but the problem is that the images will fade over time with wear.

For a permanent image, you’ll want to have your poker felt dyed. This process, called dye sublimation, will allow the image to actually become part of the felt so that it won’t fade. Only two types of poker felt can be dyed without ruining the felt or affecting the action of the cards on the playing surface – suede game cloth and poker speed cloth.

So what kind of image should you have dyed onto your custom hold’em table? Whatever you want. Basically, any digital image will do. Just remember, the higher the resolution, the better. A photocopy of your buttocks probably isn’t going to be the best option.

Poker Table Designs

Keep in mind that you can customize more than just the materials that go into your poker table. Poker table design is an additional way to personalize your table in order to make it perfect for your needs. If you’re building a 10 seat Texas Holdem table, one option to consider is a wooden track running along the inside of poker table rail. This cuts down on your playing surface, but allows you the option of adding cup holders, which is a pretty nice feature if you like to drink while you play. And if you do, please call me for your next game. I’ll buy!

Speaking of poker table cup holders, you can personalize these also from among different colors and materials like aluminum or wood. Another cool thing I’ve seen done in constructing a texas holdem custom table is use of decorative nail heads like hammered copper or buffalo nickels. Rail vinyl also comes in a variety of colors, some with great textures, so don’t forget to explore all of your options.

Your Custom Poker Table

When it comes to customizing a poker table, there really is no right and wrong. Just be sure to use quality materials and don’t cheap out on the felt. If you’re looking for a pretty straightforward table, then you can probably get a quality, unique custom poker table online. If you want something really out there - like giant crab pincers for pedestals - then you’re going to need face-to-face interaction with a really good artist and craftsman who can take turn your vision into the talk of the town.
