It's always great to see a family business doing well for over how many years and even more so when the sons/daughters join in as well. God bless and I wish for more success and business to you guys!
Glad to meet the "man"! Family businesses are the best. Total commitment and it shows in the end product. Keep up the good word. I am watching from half way across the globe.
You guys are awesome. I’ve often wondered who you all were and what you do in the company. Nice to see a successful family business and I’m so envious of the work you do. It’s beautiful! Please keep the videos coming! That burl coffee table you took to that recent show was stunning! It would look amazing in my living room 😉
Another fine video. My father in law is a wood nut like you guys. He does amazing lathe work. I have a metal lathe but have been tempted to turn some wood with it. And I’ve also started dabbling with resins. Thanks for teaching me so many things.
A really happy accident resulted in me discovering your wonderful channel. I love the stuff you do, maybe one day on a trip across the Atlantic I will come and see you!
You guys need to come down to M. Bohlke Veneer in Fairfield Ohio. Just seeing the offices and show room is worth the trip! Check out their video on TH-cam and you will get a taste for what's there
Love your work, glad to you made to LA. Funny that you guys are showing me, the hometown guy, that GL Veneer is the place to buy slabs. OMG just down the street from my old high school.
I'm curious about the cottonwood. As a tree they are very wet and soft, I am surprised that you are able to get solid slabs out of it. What are your plans for them?
You should go to The Temple of Truth in Pattaya. You would honest to god love that place, my brother Alan that’s lives there a retired chippy, he took me me and I would totally blown away. Eric
Did someone say bowl blanks? Really, you do so much more than tables. I have taken courses on turning, jewellery box making, sharpening, etc. You truly are passionate about the wood, but also how is used. Oh yea- you also host, or give a meeting place to the Calgary Woodturners Club. the people you hire are also passionate about the products. Almost every time I am buying wood, they ask what I am doing with it. They care.
Product question for your business: What happens five years down the road when epoxy "river" tables prove to be not as durable as full-width wood table tops? All that junk wood you paid premium prices for become almost worthless. Just wondering.
Where does your evidence come from that these tables will be less durable? We have been using resin in our tables for nearly a decade and have little to no issues. The only time we run into problems is when the wood is improperly dried. We have pieces that have test pieces been outside for years in our Canadian climate and still look great. From all our experience with epoxy and woodworking we have found these tables to more just as or more durable than solid wood.
About people who are critical of your work. I suspect people everywhere are accidentally taught that the life cycle of any tree is infinite. Or to put it another way, trees are forever except for trees who meet their end from fire, wind and idiots who cut them down. That is truly flawed scholarship and it might be helpful for you to tell us regularly about the actual life cycle of various types of trees and your work to memorialize the life of beautiful trees for all to see and appreciate for ever and ever. Perhaps even, include a copy of Joyce Kilmer's 1913 Poem TREES with your product delivery ~ www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/12744/trees ~ So, as a general suggestion, create a vocabulary list of trees and give us a fact or two from that list several times a month as you are planning your videos. Good Luck.

Great to find out who you are and see the passion being passed down through the family.
So glad you think so 🙏🙏
Your channel doesn't feel like it has enough subs for the quality of the content. I hope the TH-cam algorithm rewards your channel at some point.
That’s very humbling to hear, thank you for watching! 😁
Hello there from the UK, nice to meet you all 👍👍

A really happy accident resulted in me discovering your wonderful channel. I love the stuff you do, maybe one day on a trip across the Atlantic I will come and see you!

I’d like to know how your dad got into this business.
I'm guessing you meant Lbs and not £'s, love what you guys are doing
You should go to The Temple of Truth in Pattaya. You would honest to god love that place, my brother Alan that’s lives there a retired chippy, he took me me and I would totally blown away. Eric
Omg, that is a lot of wood 😳
I can't wait to see what you will do with em.
Haha sure is 😅 We’re excited too!!!
How much do you love going out to the container and pulling out one of those beauties to work on?? 👍
Love to see all this beautiful wood but after awhile the background music is annoying!
That cotton wood is a really light colored wood. Besides black, what colors of epoxy would you use with a wood so light?
i would love to see the willow and pecan slabs.
Awesome video... just curious, do you have any specialty wood grown / milled in Canada?l
Pleased to meet you.
“She is my cousin or his niece” & the dad’s all like “yes yes she is yes “😳😂
