I'm almost 65. I still have ALL of my hair. My father had and Brother has, MPB. The secret was given to me by a barber 45 years ago. Tea Tree Oil. Massaged into the scalp once a week. Inexpensive and Very effective. Give it a whirl. All you have to lose is your hair. My 56 year old brother couldn't be bothered and now he's bald.

Love your work more than Blacktail Studio. Top looks great. Would like to see what would happen with the spiral base if done as natural wood instead black textured finish. Maybe the higher grade plywood to do that would cost too much $$$.

I loved the base... right up until you put the bondo on. It would have been waaaaay more beautiful if you had sanded it smooth (as you did) then stained it a natural color letting all the laminations show proudly through. I wish I had the money to commission you to do just that, I loved it.

Normally I prefer natural wood. But I think the base needed to be painted rather than stained. The star of the project was the cottonwood and the black base really set it off. I think it’s stunning. I don’t care for the texture though.

Prior to the advent of all those cool CNC tools with high-speed cutting heads, cottonwood was hated because it was so soft and difficult to work decently. You really couldn't plane it into useable lumber for cabinetry. It's a royal pain to turn because you get so much tear out. Yes it looks nice but you can't get a decent surface on it. This, however, is spectacular.

As a tip for pouring epoxy in a dusty environment, use a spray bottle and lightly spray around the area you'll be doing sanding and the dust will stick to the water and not fly back up in the air with a gust of wind

A suggestion for the “bowties”. Have the CNC drill two ¼" holes in each bowtie; each hole should be the same distance from the exact center of the bowtie, say 20", and the two holes should be one-twentieth of that distance from each other. Call the two holes L and R. When you put the first two bowties on the center dowel and line them up, the holes will also line up. Rotate the top bowtie around the center dowel by 6° and now hole L on the top bowtie should line up with hole R on the bottom bowtie. Put a little wood clue on a short bit of ¼" dowel and pound it into the hole. Tack the bowtie in place with the nail gun. Repeat this process with every subsequent bowtie. Now, the twist of the table stand is EXACTLY consistent and cannot shift.

I liked the base more without covering up the wood. I second the opinion that cottonwood is beautiful. Also, the cottonwood seeds are underused. ...Shoulda gathered them up and put them in a vacuumed epoxy to finish out the slab, maybe with a luna moth or other ornate Saturnid moth that feeds on cottonwood.

"Cottonwood Is good" ... and an amazing piece. Unsolicited tip from an ol' "plastic" boat builder - I had to check out what Odie's oil is and I may just try it on the teak trim on my boat (tired of teak oils with no UV resistance). As far as the epoxy fill finish; most poly plastics can be buffed to a glass smooth surface using car buffing and glazing compounds - the non wax types. Putting a sheen of organic carbon based oil, especially oils that use a thinning agent like styrene or acetone, on the plastic bits to shine them up, over time, will react chemically to most styrene and vinyl, and most "esters" and epoxies, causing them to either pit or haze over. It can take a while but it will happen. For the size area you have, you can start with 320 dry sanding, one pass of red compound, one pass of white compound and a final glaze. If you use a 200 to 300 RPM, 7 inch buffer it would take all of 20 minutes to finish with 5 minutes to spare for a smoke and a cup of coffee to stand and admire how shiny it looks.

Very well done. Consider the same base using a high quality plywood and leaving it natural or a light stain to see the layering or different woods layered, like the wood seen in cutting boards. Purples, browns, and lighter woods for a cutting board colored table and base too.

Very nice indeed young man. I am a carpenter/sculpture from Scotland. Unfortunately, in my day we didn't have CNC machines and had to do it the old fashioned way by carving from a solid chunk of real wood. By the way, if you are interested, if you want a textured look like your friend did, get yourself some textured artex/plaster rollers and then cover your creation with bondo/cataloy then go over it with the textured roller and you have a textured piece.

Little SketchUp tip here, when you pull up the arc or circle tool, you can change the number of segments in the circle to be higher in order to get smoother looking circles instead of the standard 24 segments which tends to look a bit rough kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oK-FdNhzm763enk.html

Cottonwood is good. Beautiful table. When I was in high school, we had a giant cottonwood outside our windows. They’d raise the windows (no a/c!) and that cottonwood fluff would come drifting in. I was allergic to the stuff. My friends always said I looked like I’d been smoking reefers, because my eyes were red and watery. Who knew these trees had such beautiful wood? Love the table top.

I live 3 miles from the Missouri River in Omaha, Nebraska. We have a lot of cottonwood trees here, too. Being a fast-growing, enthusiastically reproducing tree (read, weak wood), it’s the tree that lives on river banks, and fall into the river when they get too old or big, or it floods. It’s what used to create snags in the river before the Corps of Engineers channelized the Missouri. The First Nation people would make dugout canoes from cottonwoods, too. I personally like seeing the big ol’ cottonwood trees. I had no idea they had such beautiful figures in their wood! Cottonwood is good! Beautiful table, but not my taste.
