Dillon Hodapp of 1.21 Jigawatts (who also created the DIY Bike Welding Rig) wrote in to share his Bowling Lane Table project:

I recently moved into my first house and was in need of a dining room table. I saw a picture of a table that used an old section of bowling lane for its top and decided that I’d like to build something similar for myself. With about 30 hours of work over a few months I was able to turn a tattered piece of wood into a beautiful, sturdy table that should never need replacement.

Dillon created the legs by designing them in Solidworks, then CNCing dozens thin pieces of Baltic Birch then gluing them together.
