My lord I finally found a youtube woodworking video with no expoxy, and a wood worker that is aware that there are other woods besides walnut. Major round of applause sir!

@@michaellewis1884 Hate is a strong word, and I'm not singling out anyone. But literally 99% of woodworking youtube channels use only walnut, and mostly live edge. And of those 50% of them use epoxy in every build. It's a tired look with no creativity. They are bowing down to the algerythm.

Well, you earned my subscription with this video. Aesthetic is personal whilst skill is universal. I don’t really like the aesthetic of the finished product (entirely personal) but I have total admiration for the skill you showed in the inlays. I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years and appreciate very much the skill required in those jigs. By God, rosewood is so attractive. It’s very busy and that aesthetic may not suit every project or every decor. But, where it does, it really lifts. We’ve got a couple of pieces of antique rosewood and mahogany furniture and I would guess those planks and grain pattern are just unavailable now, Here in the UK, Bolivian rosewood is very rare. Indian rosewood is better but all rosewood is very expensive. Solid timber for a 96” x 30” x 2” (rough sawn thickness) would be over £2500 and that’s using 4” wide staves. I’d have to make a similar table out of shop sawn thick veneers with solid wood edging. Can’t think of an affordable solution other than that - apart from buying an antique table and cutting that up for the timber (I shudder at the thought of that).

Excellent video. FYI "Bolivian Rosewood" is not a rosewood It is M. Scleroxylon or Machhaerium villosom.. not a true dalbergia (rosewood) It is also known as Pau Ferro, Santos Rosewood, Morado, Iron Wood, jacaranda and many others. Nice wood, I have a considerable stash bought decades ago. Musical instrument quality. Liked and subscribed.

Wow, this is way harder than what I've been doing: sharpen one edge and a 50-ton hydraulic trip hammer (the trick is to get the wood good and wet first around the impact site). Of course, my intarsia always comes out looking like someone tried to do the wood glue and sawdust trick over a 3' area, so maybe this is worth trying.

@@FortressFineWoodworks Just for clarity here, man, I was totally kidding. Anyone who's ever seen an example of a 50-ton triphammer driving inlay directly into wood knows... very little afterwards, I suspect. I guess it depends on how much brain cavity coverage their face shield offers. I suspect the results would be fairly... kinetic.

You just made my brain stop working. Holy s**t. This is next-level stuff, and while I'm not at that level (yet), I completely see the need for the elaborate jig system. It truly is genius. As if all this wasn't total awesomesauce, now we all come to find out you're a skilled luthier?? I love the rosewood, too, but have a question regarding the ebony - it's insanely expensive, so could you substitute another wood (maple) and then just dye it black, or is there an inherent property of ebony that requires that species?

@FortressFineWoodworks Жыл бұрын

Thank you, and that is a great question! Ebony is useful because it basically has no pores. But mainly, it's used for class. I suggest using a less porous piece of wenge. Otherwise, you would have to literally soak the maple in their strip form, with an alcohol based dye so they don't warp. The problem this might present is bleeding the color when you add the thin CA. 🤔

REALLY??? $100 for that ONE PIECE of GRADE "B" EBONY?!?!? (I have no idea if that's good or not) idk where you get your wood but have you tried that online wood delivery company that Four Eyes Furniture, Shawn Boyd, and Blacktail Studio all use? they always speak so highly of them ( I can't recall the name name of the company right this second) but I have no idea about their prices or selection.... It couldn't hurt to look around art a bunch of sources when it comes to wood THAT EXPENSIVE, so I personally think it's worth looking into it if I could save myself even 10% ... it adds up over multiple projects and they seem to have a wide selection.... Figured I'd mention it just incase you were unaware... I'll go look for the name of the company :)
