Super Rare Burl Turned into One Of A Kind Table 

It's the most beautiful. well balanced, and gorgeous table anyone could proudly own, I'm just happy that it's me who got it before anyone else!!!

Nice to see a young man working with his hands and create beautiful furniture

Kid your commentary is hysterical. Love watching people like you working with wood and turning these slabs into works of art.

We are our own worst critics. You accepted the challenge, you stuck with it and completed it, all while doing your best. Beautiful table, you should be very proud.

You did not make any mistakes. You just learned what works and what doesn't! Gr8 job!

You created a beautiful table and clearly earned this new subscription! The retired teacher in me says great job showing your work, mistakes and all.

These videos are a “twofer”.. First I get to enjoy watching the creative process (& the exquisite results.) Secondly, they are super relaxing. Thank you for posting.👍🏻👍🏻

Man the gold colors with the dark browns looks absolutely beautiful

I like how you're not afraid of admitting you made its good to see you do fantastic work

Good to see a kid do real stuff with talent & passion.

What an amazing table! I just love the live edge, and shape of the wood slab.

No need to be disappointed in your craftsmanship...you did an Amazing job! You are only going to get better! Off to a great start!!!

A few tips for you from another woodworker - Bowties are only really functional if the grain of the bowtie runs in the same direction as the length of the bowtie. If they run cross grain, then when the table splits, it will just split the bowtie along with it. That is some weird grained wood you used for the bowties, but it appears to be mostly cross-grain in the orientation you chose for the bowties. If you could break the bowtie at the narrow part with your hands, it is doing absolutely nothing structurally. Most people never route to full depth on the first cut. You should really only take like 1/8th inch down per pass to avoid unnecessary heat & stress on the router bit. With the speeds they spin a broken router bit can be very dangerous. Water stones are supposed to be soaked in water for a while before you use them. You can put oil on a dry oil stone and lube on a dry diamond stone, but your water stones should really be soaked before you use them. They also get dished in the middle very (VERY) quickly so you should flatten them with a diamond plate or sandpaper on plate glass/granite every couple tools.

That table turned out beautiful.

Thanks for adding the miter joint issues. Good learning points.

Great video!! Please keep showing your mistakes, it educates us and makes us remember that we learn as we do.

Made Burrell wood & Manzinita root and limb cocktail tables years back in the 70,s . Love watching you make your artistic creations. I will keep on watching & subscribe!

I'm a painter, 25 years experience. I recommend you use wood conditioner before staining your wood. It evens out your stain. And your work is awesome bro. I learned a lot.

Admire your honesty. As Jimmy D. says .. the first one is always a learning curve .. thks.

The beauty of the base complimented the beauty of the wood!

That is just beautiful.. I love when the resin is added and brings the wood to life. An amazing talent.

Good call on the brass. Perfectly compliments those golden grain highlights

For the makeshift track saw, I recommend finding something thinner like a T-Square, taping the down with double sided tape, and then using the circular saw in the other direction so you can have the larger area base be supported.

Beautiful table.

A lovely piece of work. Good Luck.

Great job on that table dude, the issue you we're having with that glue up was you were glueing end grain to end grain witch is very difficult without some type of mechanical joinery because end grain absorbs the glue before it can bond to itself. The cool thing is you kept at it and these are things you will learn, we've all been there!

Don’t sell yourself short. This table is worth 5-10k depending on your customer base. It’s beautiful my guy keep doing what you’re doing

Absolutely INCREDIBLE

Beautifully done and I enjoyed your frank commentary. Certain this will sell for a good price and make someone very happy.

Absolutely beautiful work! It’s fabulous.

Gorgeous, beautiful, and great job!!!

I’ve been a woodworker for over 45 years and I can honestly say that this work was of very good quality. I’m not going to talk about personal tastes as they are….personal but really about the woodworking aspects. I agree about the over use of resin in tables. The only saving grace - the only redeeming factor - is that adding some very non-green resin does make use of a slab of timber which would otherwise have become firewood or so chopped up that it produced a large percentage of waste. What does irk me somewhat is that the fashion-cost of waney edged slabs. They are currently much more expensive than square edged timber and yet have had no production cost associated with them. Just the laws of supply and demand. 2 tips and 1 fact of woodworking life. Firstly, that fact of woodworking life. I’m not surprised that you found it very difficult to marry together the centre joins of the table base. Each time you cut, it’s not 100% accurate straight from the saw - no matter what - and putting 3 slightly inaccurate joins together just makes that more obvious. There are 2 solutions; either hand tune everything or, as you did, simplify that design. I would always advise people that, when needing to make very accurate cuts, fit a new blade. Even a slightly used blade will produce enough resistance to skew the timber slightly. First tip is to put slightly raised feet on the base so that the 3 points of contact between base and floor are smaller. These can be wooden blocks or, as I prefer, just small blocks of rubber as these ensure that you don’t get a rocking table on an uneven floor. Second tip is on how to cut a 50 degree angle on the table saw - or any angle over 45 degrees. Adjust the blade so that it is 40 degrees to the bed. If the angle between blade and table is 40 degrees (or whatever), then the angle between fence and blade will be 50 degrees (90 degrees less 40). Having or making a tall auxiliary fence that will slip over the existing fence means that you can safely clamp the piece of timber to be cut exactly perpendicular and run it through. I hope that helps someone

Gorgeous piece of furniture!

I believe you did a great job and ended up with a beautiful table.

A very nice video demonstrating high skills & great efforts coupled with immense passion. Great job indeed.

Great job man. Thanks for sharing your mistakes and corrections. It helps all of us woodworkers get better. Great looking table.

Absolutely beautiful.

Yes nice work, I am an certified arborist of 34 yrs, from L.A. 7 uncles 1 grand father + 4 cousins with 2 sawmills. Great work, keep stepping out past your comfort zone. Great Job!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you do this project! I'm a fellow woodworker, and even at 66 years of age, I continue to learn with each new project. I can tell you are passionate about your work, and quite talented, so just keep enjoying what it is that brings you fulfillment! As far as putting a value on that table; it's priceless! You will never be able to put a monetary value on something you enjoy. I can't tell you how many of my projects I have given away to relatives and friends, and their appreciation is ample compensation. You seem to want to compete with yourself, trying to better your time to flip that slab over. That's fine, as long as you don't hurt yourself or have an accident and damage your project. You'll learn that old saying : "Haste makes waste" the hard way. Well, keep making nice projects and putting them on RU-vid for all of us to enjoy!

Looks great boss ! You understand the natural grain and how to them shine. I'll bet you could do wonders with colored apoxy in 100 year old wood. Keep sending videos, damn good work son and keep learning...oh ,I'd put a $5000 price tag on it

Absolutely Beautiful

My second thought on this. I have a friend who does similar work and was paid $10,000 for a table like this. It was a live edge slap as yours and similar legs. I know this because I helped with the project.

I'm impressed with the job you did.

You’ve done a fabulous job. I’m a 70 year old lady, from London, UK. I think you’re great and I hope you’re really proud at what you’ve accomplished. Well done! I think the table is worth between 4000 and 5000. You’ve put a lot of work into it

You are a fine woodworker me boy! I’m 69 and learned from my dad! Have the same issues with joints! Nice job!

Absolutely beautiful workmanship. I have only just found your channel and subbed immediately. Sir, you are a genius. Absolutely gorgeous work.

Beautiful work. Most of us woodworkers have had re-dos. It's all a learning process. Keep on keeping on.

Good looking work, mistakes and all. Don't beat cha self up, you did a full disclosure as you did the video explaining when you wasn't certain... Great job and thanks for sharing.

Beautifully done! ❤

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

I wouldn't know a good table from a bad one but looks like productive use of time and energy 👍

It is when we mess up we learn. You did good 👍🏼 😊

It is beautiful I love it thanks for making videos like this ❤️❤️❤️

As an interior, trim, carpenter very nice job on the table.

Beautiful work!I learned so much from this video. Please keep making and building - and showing us.

Beautiful piece! ❤

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

Great job, hope you got a good price for it in the end. Look forward to more projects from you 👍

Beautiful table

love the shape and burled wood...but would love to see the crevases allowed to show and fill with a clear epoxy...seems like the prettiest parts.

You did very well!

Denatured alcohol is a great choice for cleaning your surface before finish goes on and even between coats. They make corner clamps that take most of the crazy out of corner clamping too. If you dont like square corners you can use a grinder and put your own wrough edge on where its missing.the table is beautiful when done and way to perserver on the base legs. You might enjoy watching Sprague Woodturning for tips.

Excellent job young man. 👏 Thanx for sharing. GBU

Extremely nice!

Nice job on the table and filming and commentary. I look forward to you next project.

I have never watched a video like this before. Very nice job.

Awesome Table

Beautiful work

Good work. Good commentary as well. Certainly agree on the blacktail vibes. Mistakes happen, but important to show them like you did. We are all human. Might have sanded down some of the burl nubs slightly to prevent catching clothing or trauma. But great job overall.

Beautiful!

Nice job!

I have a cookie from the former Oldest/Largest Hollytree (Eastern North Carolina) which I acquired after the tree fell during a storm. From about 6' above the root section, the cookie is approx 32" in diameter. Your burl 'cookie' looks amazingly like mine from which I made a side table. Wish I could post an imagine. Best regards!

Your bow ties won’t stop further cracking in the slab since the grain direction goes cross-ways to the bow tie. Bow ties are meant to have a long grain that stabilizes a large crack.

Great job!!!!

Simply beautiful, I have no idea what he sold this table for....but it's worth every dollar, NICE Job !!!!!

Beautiful

The table turned out fabulous. Well worth ten grand. First time watching but I am backing up and watching others. New subscriber also

Shane my mom & i really enjoyed your commentary & sense of humor 😂 what amazing things you create!

Great carpentry job!! And your production of the video is fantastic with narration, camera work etc. Just subbed.

Great table

This is quality work. Love the base. Nice job. Hope you make a tidy profit.

Nice job youngster that is a beautiful piece of work. I'm an old guy who can't cut a straight line with a brand new saw. My says you've the talent and the want don't give up you'll get better and master it as you go. The old timers in Quartzsite Az.

Yeah Blacktail vibes nice job doing it all by hand

That turned out pretty cool. The belts are breaking because of the type of belt sander you're using. I had one exactly like it, and it would break a belt every five minutes or less! I ended up throwing it in the trash, and went back to my ancient, 30 year old sander, and it almost never breaks a belt, unless I snag it on something. Usually the belt wears out before it breaks... The problem is the tiny roller at the front is too small of a radius, so it over stresses the belt's glued joint. I'll bet yours are breaking at the seam of the belt, just like mine did. Try finding a belt sander that doesn't have that thin roller, and you won't go through belts as quick as you can put them on!

BRILLIANT BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART.I ENJOYED WATCHING YOUR VIDEO.

Don't worry about your mistakes..you are learning something from them...I know your next project will be a much better 💪👍👍👍 good job

Great job! Keep it up.

Beautiful!👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Guess that was a little heavy, huh? This is magnificent and I am impressed with your craftsmanship. Cheers!
