- This unique woodworking project was thanks to Keeps! Head to keeps.com/blacktail to get 50% off your first order of Keeps hair loss treatment. I rescued a defect-heavy chunk of walnut from the local sawmill furnace pile for the round tabletop, then really went to work on it. As for the base, I knew I wanted it to be unique, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. Or any money as it turns out. So I power carved a solid walnut bistro height base from chunks of wood leftover from old projects. This was a fun project that didn't end up costing hardly anything, let me know what you think of the results!

Keeps didn’t get to me soon enough, but thanks to them for at least sponsoring this video! Go to keeps.com/blacktail for more info 👨🦲
I see a bunny or a horse
I think u should try to make a vid of where u try to hand carve something nice!! Or an asmr vid. And how do you get enough money for making all those tables Bc I know that walnut is super expensive. Oh and u should try to make a table that is made of a lot of different types of wood!
I saw a fox
Baboon, project turned out great 👍👍
A wombat
I really do like these “scrap” projects. For someone like me that doesn’t have a lot of money to practice, it helps because I practice with a lot of “throw away” pieces.
The throw away scrap projects I enjoy it gives me new idea
If you can afford all the equipment necessary to transform this timber into a piece of art your rich🤣
I've never found any scrap pieces of walnut anywhere around my area. It's all super expensive
Second hand stores have alot of wood cutting boards for practicing on.
Your table is so beautiful. I have seen some wood workers put fake crystals, turquoise, or other jewels into the cracks with epoxy.
I see a squinting cat with antlers.
And the top is absolutely GORGEOUS, wonderful life in the wood!
I can't decide what I love more, your sense of humor or your amazing creations.
I saw a red stag. Your work is really well done. I truly appreciate the fact that you do a voice-over instead of trying to talk and do the work at the same time. Makes for a much better watch. Also, I love the work you do. As someone who just started messing around with wood, it is very inspiring. I have spent over 20 years cutting trees down and never did anything but burn the wood heat. Wish I would have started doing this years ago. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
I’m a few years late to the game but I saw a “Wild Boar”.
Love your work and channel Cam.
I’ve been a builder for 25 years and I’m in the process of moving over to slab work. I’m tired of the mundane, everyday projects and want to do what I love like you. Creating unique, beautiful pieces of artwork.
Thanks for all the amazing content and inspiration!
Stay strong 💪
Virtual support from a random guy watching cool stuff in his basement to fall asleep
I discovered your show this morning and 8 hours later I'm still watching!!
THANK YOU!!!!!! as a child I spent many happy hours watching my Father and Grandfather create wood projects in their respective workshops. Watching you make beautiful art takes me back and makes me happy.......and a lot more calmer than watching the news😋
I dont get how he keeps my attention I struggle to find anything to do that with my severe adhd
Hello from Newcastle Australia. Turning apiece of potential firewood into something practical and beautiful is an art. Well done.
I like all the videos you make. I like the 'unique build type' videos the most because they're different, but all in all I'm just here to passively learn about stuff I don't know how to do or haven't attempted myself.
As far as type of projects...more of this please. I'm all about stuff with character. Rustic, unique and flowing lines. Beautiful work, man.
Looks like a Deer skull to me, actually probably my favorite table I have seen you build so far I love the finished product. Good job as always I feel like character pieces make for more entertaining videos as they sometimes stray from the “normal” process and thing get a little more interesting. Wouldn’t mind seeing more of these as well as more regular Table build projects on the channel.
The wood tells what that tree saw during his life. Its amazing ! But I can not see a deer skull. I see the face of a dog.
Bulls head.
First looks like a deer to me too, but at the end of the video if you see it up side down it looks like a dog to me..

What fun! I love that you saved this piece and made such a dramatic change in how it looks....my first visual was a love HEART...gratitude for saving it from the fire? Beautiful work!
I've been slowly working my through old videos and just found this one. My immediate impression was bull/minotaur on the image, and I fell in love with this table. It's too bad I wasn't around for the original build. I feel like I missed out on getting to know this piece a little better just because I was late to the game. Such a gorgeous table.
I'm definitely into character pieces. The more character the wood has, the more work it is to make it a functional, durable piece of furniture, but when the wood is already that gorgeous and interesting, the work - and the cost - are so worth it.
You are one of the few people I enjoy watching from start to finish.
Not a woodworker yet but just got a garage and will be having fun with wood soon.
Thanks for the super honest approach to documenting your work.
As much as I love the massive tables I really do like seeing these smaller projects where it seems you get to show more creativity in them, especially the power carving stuff.
I'm very late, but yes I love this project. My shop is tiny, so I love to see smaller pieces being made that I could actually think about trying myself.
i love it. It's nice to see something made from almost nothing. The rubio covering is absolutely stunning.
I thought it looked like my neighbors Afghan dog (that was over 50 years ago). I love to see others with such creative talent. So glad I got to see this video and thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I really like your honesty and willingness to share your "lessons learned" with us. It shows us that you're not perfect, but you love learning and gaining experience. Thank you!
Love the creative aspect too. I like seeing all the different types of wood and value in not the usual materials.
So far I like the various kinds of videos you have produced. I'm not a woodworker outside of screwing 2x4's together, but I like watching your stuff. The projects, your commentary, the type of humor, etc.
I love that your book matched those pieces. When you had it completely finished and we’re showing what it look like in the last minute or so of the video, the tabletop all of a sudden was three-dimensional and it looked like it had so many different levels on top. I love this table
to answer your last question: yes! though somewhat repressive, youtube at its core is a creative platform. watching people like you break the molds of their industry norms is what i come here for- so keep experimenting! i personally love watching :)
That was probably my favorite build I've ever seen you do
Beautiful, love the top (the sheepdog) the A-symmetrical base and leg is incredible. I would buy the table or wall piece for the 1st in my collection.
I really like these kind of "Off" builds. They mix things up a bit. Not even gonna try to guess.
I agree, always nice the different projects as you just never know what hits you that you love.
I agree, these "Off builds" are really interesting to watch.
I love the wood with character. My daughter made me a sofa table in high school and her shop teacher tried to keep her from using the wood with knots and “character”. I’m so glad she held her ground. The table she made is beautiful, as is yours.
16:56 when you first started the video I saw a big butterfly 🦋 with a knot on each wing point, but know I see a sad, blind puppy with floppy ears down each side and his tongue sticking out.
I love these small projects breca use they lend themselves to show us the different projects that can be done without using ten gallons of epoxy. As to the edge, I think you made the right choice for a round table, not only does it look cool it eliminates the possibilities of splinters found on straight sides.
Three Toed Sloth- Beautiful piece. Don't love the random shape of the stand but enjoy watching videos about it. I like that you brought would-be track back to life. Thanks!
Just a tought about what you said at the end : I know you want to pease your viewers as a youtuber, but in my experience, the people who end up delivering and showing what they like best usually fare better that the ones that do what theirs viewers wants. You viewers are probably much less experienced than you in your field (I mean in general, at least I sure am), and your insight and your passion are what drive a project. You channel is brillant already and you made it like so. Keep up with the good work, and continue doing what you like most, and you will find people watching and liking your work.
This was my humble opinion. Cheers
Couldn't have said it better myself.
@@gary7708 true. Although I've seen negative comments and non constructive criticism influence youtubers far more than you seem to think
tbh, he likely wants his viewers to post comments because that's good for the youtube algorithm. which is fair, afterall he makes great videos so it would be bad if he doesn't get a great enough audience for it.
What you need to remember with projects like this is that it isn't just about the finished result. For less experienced makers like me, this type of thing is a banquet of tiny lessons that can be reused for other things. It's never ever dull or of no interest.
Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and share.

David James - you make a perfectly valid and important point ! I would make the additional observation that there is a big difference between a craftsman's approach to building which is completely different from an artist's approach. I think we could make a general comment that craftsmen generally concern themselves with fine detail in their quest for perfection which can be seen as obsessive. Artists on the other hand are unconcerned with detail and perfection and strive only to create something expressive and individual, and are perfectly content to leave a whole slew af what the craftsman would call imperfections. In other words craftsman try to remove " character " while artists try to preserve it. I have found that craftsmen in general view artists as being sloppy and slipshod workers, and take it as an insult if they themselves are ever called artists.
@@crustyoldfart As an artist myself (watercolour mostly) my only "yes but" to that is the tendency of artists to keep tweaking and tinkering. It's actually a skill (and discipline) to be able to say "Enough!" and walk away.
But basically your differentiation is correct. 😊
🇬🇧
@@davidjames2145 Another good point. I think every artist should have a trusted person present to snatch the work away to prevent it being spoiled by excessive tweaking.
I'm given to understand that Leonardo never considered his ' Mona Lisa ' to be finished - a possible manifestation of the view that to ' finish ' a work is the same as killing it.
@@davidjames2145 I tye dye pretty much everything from shirts to table cloths ,suits,bed spreads, even coffee filters and cheese cloth spread out on a window where lots of light comes t through can be amazing. I take advantage of everything from acrylic and oil paints ,and spray paint and pens markers and even fruit to dye things and i make walking sticks and canes from wood i find at the lake and have made coat racks from old water logged trees and my daughter's old BF in middle school his parents moved to a new house and in the basement was 14 bins of Halloween decorations and masks and little extras. They in turn brought it all to me.They wasnt big on Halloween and i love it. 14 big totes was alot so i gave over half to the elementary school across from my house that my daughter had attended for there fall festival and such.I started playing around with masks and this is about the time the Walking Dead aired for the first time and it was like it was meant to be i stared making the masks I had into walkers and had some that resembled the cast then i also had a longtime girlfriend well best friend who later became more but she was a real artist. She had even won a contest that sent 2 people to study for a year in Italy. She yas a masters in art but as of now works part-time in a convenience store. Sadly drinking ended her passion for me and painting. It used to bother me that when she seen what i had been doing as anything bust art or even creative which i later realized was her problem. She could copy something and it looked great but to actually come up with ideas of what to paint and to be passionate about it had been lost to her. Im no serious artist but many love the stuff i come up with and whats most important is I do and ive ruined all kinds of stuff from not leaving it alone my daughter has become my go to as to when to stop. I just want anyone that has a passion and they see what others dont to know thats what i call a artist. They are creative and i almost let her shame me into giving it all up and Im happy i didnt and hope anyone ever in a similar situation doesnt get discouraged by craftsmen..Oh and I am writing a book as well and this will probably be a chapter.....lol sorry like i said im passionate about things and i have major ADHD...HAHHAHA
@@robertoliver5347 Good for you! 👍
It has all clearly enriched your life and the lives of others. I agree, I can't stress enough how beneficial and rewarding it is to make things; anything. I find similar rewards in repairing things.
It's great that you weren't swayed from your path by someone unsupportive. I had the same experience. Now I'm with someone who is also creative and it's great.
Good luck and good health. 👍
🇬🇧
I love your creativity and the table is beautiful!!! Go with your creative flow, the right people will appreciate it!
Like your work!
I see a St. BERNARD.
Eyes closed. Ready for a mountain rescue!
Keep up the good work...
I love the power carving projects, and this is probably the most gorgeous one you've done so far in my opinion.
I absolutely love these "character" kind of projects. I think the more unusual pieces produce some of the most amazing results!
Keep doing woodworking!I love watching all of the videos. You all do vreat
That is a beautiful piece of wood, at 2:10 I immediately saw a Wild Boar head...face on... with two beady eyes and two broken tusks
This is my favorite of all the tables I've seen you make so far & it's because of how you saw value in wood that was unwanted & the book matching! Absolutely stunning work as usual, Cam
Absolutely Amazing how you brought the woods spirit out in the finishing.....and how it popped when you cut it in half and mirror aligned the wood. Which by the way even in that cool state; I would have gladly mounted it on my wall. Joining my many other unusually unique things, I have found so far as life traverses down the paths I have chosen.
Those curls that are made when you are shaving the pedestal leg would be great as ribbon on presents.
I really like your videos 😊 I'm not a wood worker but I watch because I like to see what you create. I watch every one to the end. I find it relaxing 😊
Now that it's totally finished, I'm seeing either Sasquach or a Wookie! lol
I love these character pieces!! And the whittled base is awesome too!
Please keep making this type of content!
I saw a sloth. I know, old video. One thing that jumped out to me about the circle jig for the band saw was that the weight of your work piece was pulling the unsupported side down and causing that pinch. There are 2 solutions. 1st put a support under the work itself. This is the best and simplest solution. I use a folding table saw outfeed support you can get at a big box store. 2nd is an arm attached to the underside of the sled that slides under the saw table itself. This can still leave some room to move and pinch, but it's a lot better than nothing.
Yes, a sloth I saw also.
This is a Picasso of a wood work !!! Awesome ! never stop !
this kind of work is free flowing and unpredictable....so much intresting....keep it up
just one thing for your consideration, the transition between the 2 parts of the base might be best solved if you intentionally add a pattern between them so to state the transition clearly. The smothness of the curve makes the two directions of the lines of the wood somewthat abrupt.
Coming from an International Design Consultant, I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your work.. I am fortunate to work with very high end clientele so, I may have some work for you in the future… Keep up the phenomenal work! 💪🏻
I saw a deer with a heart shaped hair patch, cam you are a a great wood worker love your videos and love the perfection that you put into your builds don't let others pull you down they comment on your stuff because they have nothing better to do you are a very creative and awesome wood worker and craftman
I saw a hairless cat
I depends on the angle but a baby deer with closed eyes and described by you hair patch is definitely there.
Great Project, love the carved look
I know this is two years old video but I just watched it. I see a basset hound. I will say I first saw a bear until you started cutting it down. Looks very nice. Love what you do.
I LOVE seeing this kind of project! It's so nice to let materials "talk" to you and guide you.
Wonderful!!
I find that I come back and rewatch these types of videos that you do more than others. I love the normal builds. I am not a woodworker but I learn a lot of fascinating things here and I see you put out an amazing product and expect that. These are almost like a choose your own adventure story where the vibe is your not sure how it will turn out but you're definitely along for the ride! Maybe doing a poll with different character type slabs for users to vote on would be engaging and fun.
Otter - Nice work Cam. Love the variety and creativity so keep it up mate!
I am always impressed with the quality of your work
I do the same thing and have for years. I let the wood tell me what the project will be. Great job. I thought it looked like a musk ox myself. As a disabled vet, most of my old hobbies are now out of reach, but I can still build presentation boxes and cradles.
I love the character of scrap pieces. The holes and ruts are awesome. You did an amazing job on that table.
I think it looks great and love your imagination and everything you have done and can do.
I love watching your channel, especially as a fellow Oregonian. I see a Blacktail deer. Like a two point. Take care.
I really liked this project. The standing foot is gorgeous and highly aesthetic as it follows clear coherent lines/curves. The mirroring of wood has always been one of my favorite tricks for creating unique surfaces, well done here with this beautiful piece of wood. Would have been such a shame to throw it away! I also always love to listen to your commentary. I always learn something and you're a pretty interesting guy.
All the best from Hamburg, if you ever visit germany, hit me up! :-D
Well as far as the image on the top I had 6, couldn't makeup my mind so I turned out the lights and went to bed. I do alot of power carving and I love the whole process. A friend told me to watch this particular video because of your carved base. Absolutely blown away by the free form style. You have some of the best editing and a nice laid back but effective talking style, always informative and entertaining. I know it's not your fault but sometimes I have this overwhelming tool envy that almost depresses me! Keep those videos coming. Thanks Rob
I love the concept. could see two or more in rec room/bar setting for drinks, etc. I know the contest is over, but I see a rack of antlers! Keep pushing the boundaries!
Great job on allowing the top to be used on a different table. In the beginning of video I saw a crab, and then at the end, I saw a sloth. Been watching your videos for a couple of weeks and decided to subscribe.
I absolutely LOVE this table. It’s gorgeous and you did a phenomenal job!
Love the quirky look of the mirrored grain an defects, also its good to see a whole production in a reasonable amount of time. Really enjoyed your work/video, keep 'em comin'.
Looks like man's best friend to me. I absolutely love this type of content. Extremely creative
Great work, pal. Looked like the jig used was tilting , pinching the blade. Easy to do. Beautiful projects, great videos.
I enjoy seeing these smaller projects. As a newb with very little experience it's nice to see you tackling things that aren't too far out from what I can afford to try. Great work!
These firewood saves are some of my favorite videos, and this one was turned into a work of art. Beautiful!
Good to see smaller projects
I saw a camel and your tables are gorgeous. I'm new but I've been looking at older videos to get a sense of your work!
Do what you do brother your work is impeccable.
Doug😎
This piece could easily hang on a wall in a museum. It's beautiful, thank you so much for sharing. I saw a bunch of different things in it, but a fox is what stood out the most for me.
just found this video that I really enjoyed watching. I used to make furniture using woods like elm that has a similar wild character like the walnut a long long time ago. Back then I took a different aesthetic approach by basing the final form more on the nature and character of the grain of the wood I was using. For example I would tend to avoid imposing a hard geometric form on the final piece and tended to try and incorporate as much of the natural edges as possible, carving when required to get the shape just right. The designs tended to end up with no straight edges. While it did require the use of more hand tools and much more effort, the final result ended up more 'organic' in nature rather than geometric which I felt worked as the form was more sympathetic with the nature of the wood itself. I just wonder if you would ever think of using that approach? Anyhow what you achieve is of magnificent quality, and how you put the videos together is first class.
with its organic shape it really looks beautiful!
Small tip from a sheet metal fabricator: when you drill holes in those metal discs, run the drill much faster. For that drill at 17:32 you would want about 1000 rpm. Your cutting force and also the chips will be smaller, so less risk of the workpiece flying off, the drillbit breaking or overheating. You can easily find rpm charts online. Don't press too hard on the handle and lubricate. When you lubricate with something like acetone from a spray bottle, that will evaporate without stains by itself or with the help of compressed air.
i thnk its the camera
You really know your stuff bud

Ok makes sense I definitely read through that
Or did I?…
Wait till June 7th
@@MrSockZa1st This is the Internet. You have to tell them NOW lol! People these days can't wait that long, they need it now.
Yep, lubricant needed always sir, for any type of drills. Every man friend is a lubricant! One way or another!
I think the project looked really beautiful, especially the shape, grain, and wood color. Thanks for the hard work and the inspiration!
I just starting watching your stuff and love it. I send them to my dad who is a woodworker too and he's now a fan. BTW, that's a sloth.
I see a wise singing elder. Beautiful one of a kind table.
I see a golden retriever!, Love your projects! The timelessness of wood, the beauty of Walnut, and the symmetry of bookcuts and the wonder of epoxy filled round tables!!!!
Wow, what a great " totem pole" of critters! I'm taking a screenshot so I can (and will) stare at this for awhile. My favorite pass time as a child was the "find the objects" pictures, I would find more than what were purposefully drawn into them. This piece is awesome & beautiful, I'm glad you aren't letting it get used as firewood!
Nice. One of my favorites so far.
I would love to have this level of creativity. Such a beautiful object.
I love the pieces with "character" I think it draws the eye to really notice all the incredible aspects of the piece.
Turned one way I see an elk, the other way I see a sloth. I love how the table part turned out and love your videos and you sharing your knowledge and how your not afraid to show mistakes as well. Keep it up!!
The shape of the stand reminded me of a rifle stock... super cool!!
I enjoy all the projects you do!
From one side I saw a sloth, from the opposite side a saw a "Phoenix rising" or a fire hawk.
Sloth
I enjoy all unique wood projects , I use mostly spalted birch because it’s what I have and have gotten amazing results from wood that at first was destined for the wood stove
Just found your channel again thank you 🙏
Sir, I absolutely love to just watch the work in progress! It's always so worth the watch! Breathless wait to see how it goes!
I love the table! Keep it up!
Millions have used wood like this for hundreds of years. Great work 👍
I love the shape and the grain on that "scrap" piece of wood. It turned out beautiful. Nice work Cam!
I really enjoy watching something beautiful being made from something so organic and rough. This table is awesome and very unique; more like an art piece than furniture!
Before you cut it into a circle I saw a walrus. Koo koo ka joo! Then before you sealed it I saw a Beaver. Then when you turned it I saw a Wookie/ Sasquatch. I am very creative and would drive a psychiatrist nuts! It takes a VERY GIFTED ARTIST to see several things/animals. You have a wonderful eye when it comes to your work.
Beautiful table. Well done. I just came across this video, love it. I saw an Irish Setter.
I love watching your videos and I love how you take your time and explain what you're doing as you go along. For some reason, watching you cut, sand, and glaze your piece is very satisfying.
For the image in the wood, I see a golden retriever myself. 😊
I love these ! When I was pastoring in a small church in cisco Tx I was doing wood projects to make extra money but I seem to have never been able to even get enough money to justify the material much less the labor involved! So I’m so happy that you have been successful in your business! You do amazing work
It certainly appears worth studying, very interesting piece
I just going to guess my favorite animal... Mandrill! I also loved that theme with the look that it's about to fall over, kind of like its out of Dr. Seuss! Love your channel!
First I saw a deer, finished I saw a sloth.
I love watching you work. I’ve picked up a lot of great tips from you, specially using Osmo. I make Maple and Walnut wood watch boxes, using resin with live edge and mirrored pieces. Thanks Cam
I saw a sad bunny with a beard.
it resembles the nose of a baboon
That's exactly the order for me
Deer are my favorite type of primate!
I saw a sloth in the end, too!
I seen so many animals and it changed from a Bear at the beginning to a Baboon in the middle to a Dog at the end.
I stumbled upon your videos a couple weeks ago and have went back in your archive and watch a dozen or so videos thus far. love the way you tell the story of your build to the snide jabs at your haters. Amazing job. This one by far is my absolute favorite. I cannot get enough of this table. I literally have seen this one video a couple dozen times. Definitely one of my top 5 woodworking TH-cam channels. Keep up the good work.
Amsterdam 😢 amazing work as usual. Your pice are very unique 👌 it is satisfying watching your work progress. 😊
i love that tabletoppp so freakin cool, im here from another vid of yours
