I agree that a stainless table is not the best work surface as it will dull your blades. I like the idea of the poly surface and was inclined to find a big slab, but after thinking about it I think I'll find 2 or three that will cover my work surface but still fit in the dishwasher when I'm done. I know my poly cutting board in the kitchen comes out a lot cleaner that way!

The DVD Deer Processing 101 does a fantastic job of instructing/demonstrating the process of taking a deer on the ground and turning it into table fare.
