It turned out beautiful. Would be nice hanging on the wall with key hooks to hang keys on. Or cup holders. I have cups I don't use. Just in a small collection. So now I'm thinking of doing something similar to display my cups. I like how you fixed the mistake. The first try on something different is the time a mistake will be made. A good wood worker will usually find a way to fix a mistake and make it look like no mistake was made. I try to but sometimes it ends up in the burn pile and I start over. I'm still learning. lol.
Haha. Yeah I happens. I didn’t say it in the video but I was rushing a bit too which never helps - trying to get the second glue up done before turning in for the day. I like the idea of a key rack, too. But yes, the risk of making a mistake is exactly why I wanted to test my idea first. Messing up the real thing would be really expensive with the wood I’m going to be using on it.
@@sturdyboneswoodworking we love our sushi bazooka! What's the most creative concoction you've made with it? I think homemade gyro meat with feta & spicy pickled green beans dipped in tziziki sauce is mine!
You’ve gotta subscribe to see if not already! Thanks for watching. If you haven’t seen the wenge coffee table video, check it out and you’ll be ready for the next one. 😁
🤣🤣🤣 I like that’s idea! After consulting my wife, we’re gonna hang it next to the front door and put hooks on it for our keys. And thanks very much for the compliment!
I still don’t quite understand it. It seems relatively simple and yet I’m used to using bushings and matching router bits. Only thing to do is try out this method and see if I can get the same good results.
You can definitely still do it that way. I think the only thing that’s critical here is really making sure both the A and B templates fit together really tightly for each line. Were you using bushings to offset for the thickness of the bandsaw kerf or something?
@@sturdyboneswoodworking exactly. I can never get the positive and negative template to be a good enough fit. I make a table top which has a centre of a dark wood (quite often European walnut) with a flowing surround of a lighter timber such as a fruitwood or ash.
This is very nice, but to say template routing of this sort hasn’t been done before is absolutely not true. Scott Grove has published a book on one version of this technique. I’ve used the template routing approach often and give talks and classes on how to do it.
Thanks. Yeah, I wasn’t meaning to say no one has done template routing before, haha. I definitely wouldn’t try to claim I invented template routing. I meant I hadn’t seen another example of enclosing the shape within the contrasting species attempting to simulate a live edge. I love the look of all the other woven boards I’ve seen but they all use the stacking method and place a contrasting strip between the glue ups and I wanted mine to look different.
@@sturdyboneswoodworking Hey, I understand. I've used this technique as have others to enclose a species within a different one, so of course that's not new. But it is a very nice, and more organic looking way than epoxy to create this effect, so bravo for demonstrating it in this post. Best wishes.
I just don't get the whole river table thing.... in my business we cut what we can use from the board and burn the rest. It has the feel of desperation to keep trying to make something new or different. Good design, proper proportions and well made wins the day....
I don’t disagree about not getting river tables. I will probably never make a typical epoxy river table. But in the rest of your comment are you basically arguing against the creative impulse? I don’t agree that any effort to try to envision and create something new or different comes from desperation. You could call it discontentment with what’s been done before and that’s fair but in my view all creative acts come from a feeling of discontentment and that’s not always a bad thing.
@@sturdyboneswoodworking well put sir, no, is the answer to that, it is good to desire to make something different but I can't help but feel that anything done for the sake of difference is just pushing to be different.... I have been in the high-end market for over 30 yrs and seen an awful lot of different driven by money and wanting to stand out. There are pieces that are timeless and known for their time in the same breath, shaker, arts & crafts, Deco etc all these were design driven and once accepted ( different to start with) became the norm but were also bloody well made with the use of good timber ( local in the shaker movement) so a piece well made that does the job and that doesn't jar the eye is something to aim for; some of the Japanese pieces really fit that brief. This of course is only my view and it is each to their own....
Yeah for sure. Would be really cool to do this with a real live edge board, strip off the live section in a way that follows the grain and make templates based on that. Thanks for watching!
@@sturdyboneswoodworking I enjoy your content a lot. I can see where this method could be used to avoid wasting beautiful scraps or boards that can’t be used for much else. I’ve seen this same technique applied where the live edge was beyond saving, but if they’d maybe just followed the grain 1/2” in from the live edge, it’d have been nearly unnoticeable. Keep up the great work!
I could see this on a bigger scale, like maybe a tabletop! 🤯❤️
🙂↕️ 😁 Thanks for watching!
That’s a cool outcome. What a great alternative to epoxy. Nice to have options.
Thanks! Make sure to tune in for the next build! Going to level this up a notch!
Excellent. Great job. Presented well. You are worth watching.
Thanks for watching!
My mans about to make a waterside mural for his wall. Do a tree next.
🤣🤣🤣 I mean, my goal is to keep being more ambitious with each one. I’ll get there eventually lol

That’s a great idea. I owe a charcuterie board to a friend I might give that a shot. Very cool
Awesome! Send me pics of how it turns out!
I want to see this technique on a table now.
You’ll have to subscribe to see if not already! 😁 I’m working on the next piece this week.
That's a really cool sushi serving board 😉
Ooh nice recommendation. I still need to decide what to do with it. I do still have my sushi bazooka…🤔
Awesome idea 💡👍🏼

Nice work 👍👏🇬🇧
Thanks! 🙌
So curious what the next project will be. Giant river table with all wood? Great experimenting!

glue spreader #1
Hahaha it’s a good one. Very good reviews. 😆
Oh it’s you Marty! 👋 I didn’t know you watch my videos! Thanks for tuning in!
Very cool and different
Thanks. Wait til you see the next piece. Working on it now.
This is the only “river” woodworking I’d try. I hate the 90% epoxy pieces. Really great job on this.
Haha. Thank you! Yeah that’s kind of the idea I was going for: put a body of water into a panel but made of wood.
You had my mind in a pretzel but the results are awesome!
Haha. Mine was in a pretzel too there for a while. Thanks for watching!
it's a charcuterie board for someone on a diet???????? I like your videomaking style

My issue with false "live edges" is that the woodgrain doesn't follow the manmade live edge, whereas it typically does in nature.

Your band saw blade is waaay too loose😂
Oh wow! What did you see that made you notice that? I had it tightened to 1/4” of deflection.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
Sorry, but this is NOT A NEW WAY!
