This project has been on my to-do list since we built our house. It’s something I have played in bars and always wanted in my home. Shuffleboard is a great game because the skill level of most players is not that far a part. Meaning, at a gathering, a newcomer and someone that has played for a while can still compete against one another.

When it came to building a shuffleboard table I knew the hardest task would be building the top. I looked at just purchasing a top that was already made but those get really expensive. After coming across the butcher block countertops sold at Home Depot, I realized this was going to be my nicest and most affordable option. If you want an even more affordable option consider a few layers of plywood with oaking flooring laid on the top and sides. Read on to see all the details on how this came together.

    DIY Shuffleboard Table Plans Step 8 1Note: We poured our epoxy top from the center and let it flow out. This resulted in a slightly convex surface (opposite of what we want). While we corrected most of it with the adjusters, the sides of the board still fall off a little bit. If you choose epoxy, I would highly recommend only using 2 gallons and start by pouring or moving the epoxy to the sides and allowing to settle in the middle to help create that concave surface.
