I learned a lot from this video, thank

The softer wood is better for your knife edge, thats why the Japanese use Hinoki which has a Janka rating lower than fir. All the Shun cutting boards I own are edge grain. The slow accumulation of wear is just a sign of it being a well used item in your kitchen. Cutting boards aren't meant to be works of art.

Hey! I keep coming back to this video because it's so great. But I have a question. Do you ever make a burl tabletop but want to keep the cracks instead of fill them? I have an ironwood burl and I was going to do the same epoxy treatment, and I realized the 3d look of the jagged cracks with different depths is really cool. Maybe bad for a table you'd put food and stuff on, but really unusual and cool looking. How do you feel about this? Should I still epoxy the cracks with clear just to seal them? Will the piece be very unstable without the voids being completely filled?

Nice! Next time you want a slab hmu, I'm in NorCal and there are 3 local mills in my town. Walnut galore. Could probably get you something for half the cost. Do you use a certain type of epoxy for cracks?

Did you seal the gold or just left it alone?

This design was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Please go ahead and drop the useless "go ahead"!

Adding the "island" was a great idea. Topographical maps are awesome.

By partially filling the voids, letting it settle, then filling again, at least 3 times on that thick of a slab, you won't have those big fill holes. Any bubbling or voids will be below the final fill. Everyone makes bowties the same - sharp corners - why? Give them an odd shape or rounded corners (and waist). It's too bad you threw the brown confetti away - could have mixed it with the epoxy and filled the holes - different effect Try it on the cutoffs. Also, why take off/remove all the loose material in the voids rather than epoxy them in place? Gives a more natural effect. The above only works on clear or lightly colored so you can see inside the voids.

Nice job, I just hate seeing beautiful wood covered by black.

He's a perfectionist. He sees every miniscule flaw as a major issue, which is one of the reasons He's that good.

So did you ever sell the table?

Did anyone already mention that viscous means less runny?

I think it be called Fusion

Hi. I was doing walnut cookie table and i pour epoxy on some holes and it soaked quite deep. When I sanded it didn't go off and i had black spots on the top from epoxy. Had to sand it about 1cm to get rid of it. Do u think i should penetrate it before epoxy? Would it help to avoid soaking around the cracks? Thanx

Very cool - I am currently on a very similar project - my first table project - found the redwood slab at a seaside driftwood shop on the Northern CA coast for 90$ I have been enormously helped by videos like yours - thanks - I am making lots of mistakes and learning as a go, but it is a lot of fun and I think when I am finally through, it will be a success. One thing I learned was to start with a penetrating epoxy, but then use an epoxy resin for follow up applications, and also to let it stand for about 20 minutes till it just begins to harden to it doesn't flow straight through the cracks in the wood but stick and fills in few applications. I was on my fourth application before I figured that out, then finished it all off with the last one - wasted a lot of time and epoxy, but it is all filled now and ready for a long and boring sanding before I oil and laquer it to finish.

Hello!!! What kind of wood was used in izgoto?

Next time you are cutting tall material on a chop saw,,,,space the piece out for a full blade cut

ICEBURG table

A credit to you young man 👍👏👏👏

enjoyed your video - good info! Yes, epoxy takes time and Starbond for the small cracks works great! I saw my own walnut cookies - finish them to and to get the result I want it takes time. Good job on the video...and that claro cookie has some crazy figure...IMO, $1000 all in is a good price for a solid cookie like that.

Would you be interested in buying Black walnut and some mulberry from Michigan?

I had to pause the video to comment before I forget! I respect the hell out of you for the phrase you just said around 20:55 … this is everything I try to teach my kids. It’s ok to make mistakes, mistakes help us grow it’s trial and error. You did an amazing job I love the table!

You said 7inches but how long were they Thank you Great video.

A beautiful table and the legs (stand) make all the difference. My only complaint would be your narration. Put some EXCITEMENT in your voice!!! You were putting me to sleep. But, even with that, I think your narrative was appropriate and helped me (and hopefully the other folks) understand what you were doing.

Id give you $5.38 for it. I'm somewhat negotiable

27,14 Finnishing-Wizard?! Omfg laughing my butt off right now

Name lonesome retreat. It is as unique as you are. Good job. Keep it up you're going make it in this old world 😊

About all that wood waste, mix with epoxy to make small paper weights and tree ornaments, no two the same.

Very nice. 😅😅😅

Looks cool dude. Love the concept too. Plus, with all the things that went wrong, you soldiered on like a champ. Good job! 👍👍

This table is giving 70s in the best possible way like Beyoncés Renaissance did or Elizabeth Olsen in in Wandavision did ❤❤❤❤ I could NVER afford it even in my most delusional vintage wet dreams 😂 but if I had the money I would have 2

Water tribe from avatar the last air bender coffee table? Cause I definitely see Sokka and Katara navigating thru these icy waters

This is pretty cool, and it's yours from your brain which validates it completely... But from someone who is addicted to watching guys like John Milecky, I can't help but think layered colored resin would have made it look way better... Again it's yours and it's perfectly fine... I think I'm just desensitized to how others make theirs. Well done man

Oak??? For food? No.

I have a different laser than you but look into an aftermarket air assist, helps avoid smoke marks and makes the laser cut/emgrave more effectively.

Your attention to detail as well as your excellent commentary was so interesting - and I’m not even a wood worker!!!

I like your work and I'm 68.

😂not ultra rare the things are everywhere 😂💩👎

Beautiful table…So genius🙌🏽 you knew better …epoxy should of been cleaned up when wet 😂

I love the top shape …it’s awesome. The legs are amazing ! Somehow I don’t like them together. Awepme job well done. I am sure your client will be very happy with it.

That came out looking amazing mate, good work

Nice creativity. You must VALUE yourself, your contribution to the art. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see your portfolio of buildings. 😊

Simply call it a contour table. No fuss, just accurate!

Nice job man! I like your determination.

A frozen table without icicles!!! Lol

U could have used a larger brush
