Hey, greetings from Southern Indiana! I will be honest this is my very first comment EVER on YT. I like watching anything on YT about making but especially woodworking. I've been getting into a lot of "new" youtubers who are starting out. I see a lot of potential in you after this build (I have been subscribed for a few months now). I knew you had the skill and NOW you ensured we all knew you had the skill, as that table was top notch. I hope this video helps build your confidence in yourself man! Best of luck with your channel and I hope the new addition to the family is treating you well!!
Again, great job on that table. That mappa is so golden once it's finished I just love it. It intimidates me though! Lol. Love you go through and talk about the problems/learning process. Outstanding table!
@@lonestarwoodworking3810 Sometime in this new year I am going to have to get off my butt and make the drive down to your area and check out Hamilton Lee Supply.
Great job mate, looks beautiful. You can't beat the grain of a burl. I'm currently working with a red gum burl which looks absolutely amazing. Each piece is so unique.
I try to find burl any chance I get! Unfortunately given that it’s a rare blemish on trees they have the price to match most times. I’d love to see some pictures of that red gum!
@Lone Star Woodworking I'm about 3/4 done on the burl table which will have a video to follow on completion. I've posted a sneak peak picture of it on Facebook and insta. Like you I'm working from home with a youtube channel that is building momentum and regular work coming through the door. Like you, this is my focus with a dream to do it full time. Here's a pretty cool table I made not long ago. Check it out if you have time. th-cam.com/video/XeC-PRgX7RE/w-d-xo.html
@@lonestarwoodworking3810 it's not wood dude... Traditional wood working takes way more skill. Machine or hand. All your projects are literally the same...
@@GAsh0012 I think your observation really only applies to when I work specifically on the epoxy (prep, pour, sanding, finishing) because it’s a different medium and therefore requires different technique to work on effectively. However, the required knowledge to work on live edge slabs is just as substantial and significant as the guy that builds hardwood furniture with panel glue ups and complicated joinery. Now I do appreciate your observation that a good bit of my videos are similar because it means you took the time to watch multiple, and I’m working on that. But what it boils down to is: I still have to have all the knowledge of any “normal” woodworker. And for the most part, all of the skills. I just choose to apply them differently
@@lonestarwoodworking3810 if you have all the skills a regular wood worker does I'd challenge you to build a dresser or something. If anything, river tables are played out...
@@GAsh0012When building a dresser do you add metal handles, hinges, drawer slides? How about using plywood I hope you don't use it, it is wood created with glue, which is similar to epoxy. I assume you see my point. Personally, I have never built a river table, but always like to see them being built. Unless you are completely pure and never use anything other than wood then don't throw stones.

Some would say I have more confidence than I’ve earned 😂. I appreciate all of the compliments and am honored to be your first comment!
uno dei tavoli piu belli mai visti....complimenti
grazie mille!
Great work. I appreciate you showing the flaws and how to worked it out.
It’s all part of the process, sometimes you gotta take a few steps back. It can get frustrating but the end results speak for themselves
Again, great job on that table. That mappa is so golden once it's finished I just love it. It intimidates me though! Lol. Love you go through and talk about the problems/learning process. Outstanding table!
Thank you! It’s not terribly intimidating. The hardest part of it was just how soft it was!
@Lone Star Woodworking can u send me a link to that router sled u have?
@@johnmclain6535 the specific one I have looks to have been discontinued. Here’s their updated one

You're a brave man taking on that burl. Well done!
Thank you! It was an awesome piece. If those slabs weren’t so damn expensive I’d have gotten more by now
Absolutely beautiful amazing work
Thank you so much!
Cool, I get to be first! Great job, I love how well the grain stood out on this piece.
It was truly a one of a kind piece. I love this project!

@@That_Stealth_Guy they’re a good group a people. I genuinely enjoy working with them
@@That_Stealth_Guy actually I need to make a run up there next week. If you want we can schedule a time and meet there. Just reach out to me on IG

@@vldtimberdesigns3682 I went ahead and subscribed to ya!
@Lone Star Woodworking Cheers mate. Best of luck to you and keep those videos coming.
Looks fantastic brother! Can you give me some info on your router sled? I am shopping around and like the way that looks! Keep up the great work!
Thank man! It’s actually been discontinued but it’s from stone coat counter tops!
@@lonestarwoodworking3810 ahhhh missed it by that much! Lol I might have to break down and just build one… 😮💨
C channel? When did you change over to v shape?
The first time I tried it was on the double river ash dining table
love me some burl. How much was that slab if you don't mind me asking?
$3000 at Hamilton Lee Supply
ouch lol. looks very worth it @@lonestarwoodworking3810
Oh yeah it definitely hurt, especially since that table hasn’t even sold and it’s been over a year 😅
damn that sucks. sorry to hear that. i'm just starting out and a lot of people don't get the prices of hand crafted things.
@@lonestarwoodworking3810
Nicee! How much epoxy you used to this project?
7 gallons I believe
@@lonestarwoodworking3810 how long wide table was?
@@BarKameleon 36” wide, 80” long. That might have been a good little but to put in the video….I’ll make note for next time
@@lonestarwoodworking3810 no prob, thanks for answer
nice
Short and sweet, I like it! Thank you
Epoxy working is not really wood working
Enlighten me on why
