In the Inlaid Card Table class, you’ll build a Massachusetts classic. The best part is that you’ll be able to customize the inlay to your liking. If you want to show off your inlay skills, I’ll help you put your piece over the top. If you’re looking for something a little more subtle, I’ll help you achieve a look that makes a statement without being ostentatious.
