Little Footnote: The amount of care that guy was taking to line up the holes with the aluminum dowels speaks volumes to the amount of care and craftsmanship that goes into your work. It's the little details like that, that make the biggest difference. This is superbly well done.
that is gorgeous. i love how resin can add so much plus it can make more usability in less desirable wood slabs. totally in many ways upcycling damaged wood
Well done to the entire talented group of people that worked on this beautiful piece. It is a work of art. Just stunning. To the owners, enjoy this stunning creation they had a vision for.
Great video!!! Enjoyed watching the build, pour, finish, and delivery in one video!!! You and your team are amazing!!! Thanks for a great presentation!!! Keep up the outstanding work!!!
absolutely a beautiful table, I am sure the people who asked you to make this is mighty proud. About 25 years ago when myself and my husband moved into our home he came home one day with a better 6 ft piece of wood. I said honey what is that for you going to chop it up for firewood, no he said I'm going to make us a mantle for the fireplace. I said okay whatever, as he worked on it for a few days I realized it was oak wood he had picked it up for $20. Needless to say I have an absolutely beautiful mantle. Isn't it a Wonder what people can do with wood!!
OK, this is the third video of yours that I’ve watched. I am not a woodworker by any means, but did subscribe. Absolutely wonderful craftsmanship and delivery. Good job. I look forward to finding more videos of yours.
Once again, another stunning piece of work. It’s great that you have a bunch of strong backs, but you could really benefit from some custom built dollies.
Beautiful table… would’ve liked to see a little more detail on the actual build, but appreciated seeing the difficulty of the moving/installation process… not easy with something that massive and heavy! How much did it weigh and did the clients have extra supports in their flooring to handle something so massive?!?
@@BlackForestWoodCo think t switched to the next video before I posted. This was about the old growth red wood slab on your wall but every video shows the passion and quality of all of your work. "Old school quality"
I can imagine your client was well satisfied with the craftsmanship that turned his/her vision to reality. The piece is gorgeous and works perfectly in that space.
I'd love to have one of these tables for my kids to grow up with. I would write a timeless series for my kids, using the wood as the map and landscape for the epic adventures. wouldn't it be fun to do story telling around a table like that?
Imagine being this well off to pay 30k for this beauty! As a local artist this is ultimately my goal to sell my work for its true value! Excellent craftsmanship
BFWC - each and every employee are artist in their own way. Each of your customers are very lucky to have one-of-a-kind art in their home or business from you. Keep up the amazing work and stay safe.
That’s one hell of a beautiful table. Just perfection. What were the exact measurements anyway? It’s huge. I’m also wondering how much the whole thing weighed. The way they build houses these days I have visions of it going through the floor and winding up in the basement.
I imagine that anyone, or entity, with the clout to purchase this piece isn’t living a a house that was built like that. I was a project manager for a national tract home builder for many years, so I do know what you mean!
In the 70's we used to go to Fort Bragg Califoria to find burls to carve and make tables out of. I never imagined to do a table like this. Very beautiful.
Actually, cottonwood is one of the only woods that most animals will not chew on. It is often used in cattle barns and pig barns for animal enclosure aka pens and for feed bunks as well. It is also a direct substitute for poplar in many cabinet companies for cleats and chamfer blocks etc.
Cotton wood is a type of poplar wood, it’s just not tulip poplar which is arguably a prettier tree and what hardware stores sell instead of cottonwood. :)
This is an amazing table! I wish you would have shown in the video the entire table....i wanted to see the base and top together a little better than shown. Great table, superb craftsmanship, and topnotch customer service as always!!
Awesome work, no question. But when they handled the plate around i was afraid that it breaks somewhere at the connections between resin and wood. But like we all see, its rock solid ;) Beautiful table, i would like to make one myself half the size and not so complex base. Thanks for this super documentation! :-)
That midnight blue resin is gorgeous and doesn't distract from the beauty of the wood. Your client has excellent judgement choosing it. The whole piece is fantastic.
If I seen that on a pallet I’d tear it apart , I’ve gotten a few amazing pieces of wood that I’ve reclaimed , my favourite has been my figured babinga which Brad identified for me , thank u Brad 😎
I love how the older guy is always so patient and so full of explanations whilst surrounded by such a "young" team. It looks like BFWWC would be an awesome place to work. I love the work you guys turn out and the not so professional videos (there's a cut there? 🤣). Keep it up 👍🤘😘
Huge plus for the music. Makes me feel like im running through the Dam level, big head on, paintball cheat on, of course were talking about James Bond Golden Eye on the 64. Nice table, the base isfantastic
Wonderful work and superb job the guys did of getting that table through what looks like a very narrow doorway compared to the table and the carriers. I am sure others noticed that when the table was on its side in the home at 16.45, what a fabulous almost landscape picture it created with the light behind it. I can imagine the table lit from underneath could give these pieces a whole new aspect! Thanks for this amazing video.
Wow guys fantastic table!!!!!! Question: After a pour when you disassembles the table template, do you reuse anything of the materials from the mold? Or is it just trash?
UNREAL...What dedication to perfection......................truly where ART is meeting woodworking. Each piece unique. Antiques of the future no doubt...................at BIG money !!
Beautiful. I have only one complaint. I would like at least 3min of high quality camera worship to take it in from every angle. You left me wanting MORE!! 👍
At around the 15 minute mark, it reminded me of Super Troopers when they were having that keg party and kept having them move the keg to different parts of the room. "It would have better fungswae over there" lol. Beautiful table!
Have you guys looked into a dolly like the granite guys use? Had a top installed Wednesday and they had a 4 wheel pneumatic tired beast of a dolly that they rolled the top in on. Wouldn't have helped much on this job, but most it probably would.
@@BlackForestWoodCo Don't get the forearm one get the Shoulder Dolly. I have one, puts the weight on your legs not your arms, like your legs are tired after using it 😂.
First off excellent use of burl this large! The only thing that concerned me is the pitting that is visible in the epoxy at the very end of the video (18:11) bottom left of the camera shot. Do you consider that to just be part of the process and unavoidable or is there a process to eliminate those pits in the epoxy? I know its nit picking, but for 30K, that would probably entitle them to do so.
I saw a bloody elbow, so I know moving this beautiful monster demanded a price for its creation. Hope that was all it demanded. I had a thought that a string of lights strung on the undersides, all around where the midnight blue resin surrounds the table would be a beautiful touch too. Over all a rare and awe inspiring creation. 10 + our of 10 rating on this one.
Please share how many pounds that the finished table top (cotton wood slab with the resin pour) is and how thick the table is, with the length and the width of the table top. it looks huge and heavy. My guess is the finished table top weighs 800 pounds and it is 4 inches thick, 5 foot wide and 10 foot long. The table and legs look super strong when put together. The design is one of a kind, unique, elegant and beautiful. Very nice work, thank you for sharing another good one with us.
*if you still have the trim from this project consider making some brush rests with them...you can find examples of this on Esty at a shop called Monarch Brush Rests...i have a very nice one that used a burl hard wood...if anything you could see if the shop owner would like to obtain some of your scrap*

Agreed! Without resin, a slab like this would be totally unusable for a table! Thanks so much for the comment!
Well done to the entire talented group of people that worked on this beautiful piece. It is a work of art. Just stunning. To the owners, enjoy this stunning creation they had a vision for.
Thank you so much Janine!
Thanks Janine I'm taking it that you enjoy wood 🪵 working as well
@@cliffgrando859 pleasure, I do love wood Cliff. ☺️

ops there should have been a cut there! love you left the errors in ;) nice table btw :)
😂🤷♂️

Great video!!! Enjoyed watching the build, pour, finish, and delivery in one video!!! You and your team are amazing!!! Thanks for a great presentation!!! Keep up the outstanding work!!!
Thank you John! We plan on releasing most of our videos in this style going forward!
You must dislike it when the lady homeowner gets drunk and dances on top of the table?
Fabulous work!!! Five thumbs up.
Great piece as always! Wish you would have shown the base design more after it was assembled. Love this channel! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your kind words as always Maddie 😁
Think some lights underneath the table would look sharp
Oh My Goodness! That is unreal--it looks just like a Old World Map! I LOVE it.
Oh wow, it does! Thanks Judi!
That is the most magnificent table I have ever seen. I’m so glad 😃 I was able to see the building of it. What a piece of ART 🖼

Thanks so much Josie! So are you!

We're trying to head more towards longer form content like this, there should be another start to finish delivery coming this week as well!
@@BlackForestWoodCo Ayo!
An exceptional piece of wood transformed into a stunning table. Seeing this piece every day would create a breathtaking start to one's day.
Thanks so much Frances
Exceptual looking table. It really came out beautiful. Congrats on the build. The client is gonna love it.
Thank you!!
UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!
This is by far the most beautiful build I’ve seen.
- Hope you all enjoyed a Cold One after the install! 😎🍺
Precisely why I don't subscribe to channels with false video titles. Just call it Cottonwood. You do great work- why the lameness?
Beautiful , you earned every penny guys. The finished article reminds me of the map of Westeros.
Imagine being this well off to pay 30k for this beauty! As a local artist this is ultimately my goal to sell my work for its true value!
Excellent craftsmanship
Thank you so much! We're wishing you future success!!

Thanks so much Mark!
One thing that will never be stolen from the house😆 Beautifully Done
Haha, well they could try but I would wish them luck trying 😆
That’s one hell of a beautiful table. Just perfection. What were the exact measurements anyway? It’s huge. I’m also wondering how much the whole thing weighed. The way they build houses these days I have visions of it going through the floor and winding up in the basement.

Absolutely stunning but I've almost passed out from holding my breath as you guys carried those pieces into the house 😂😂
Thank you Patricia! We were out of breathe too!
My God it's just amazing, wonderful.
Real Beauty. State of Art.

Bubinga is amazing 😍
Wonderful watch. Loved the talk. Soothing build. . . Though I am quite sure not so much on your side. Cheers.
You guys outdid yourselves with this one. Absolutely stunning! 😎👍🏻
Thank you so much!
your stuff is always amazing. but that house with the crown molding and the view are also awesome!!! hope your clients are very happy
It was such a beautiful home! Thank you!

Always moving the challenge line forwards. Beautiful work. ✌
Haha we try! Thanks James!!
5:27 They did not, in fact, do a cut there.
Hahaha whoops 😂
Amazing....looks like not a piece of furniture but more of a piece of art. Beautiful.
Very nice build! Would love to have got to see the stand better but all in all thank you for sharing this amazing build.
That is certainly one of the most beautiful tables. Even scaled down would be nice.
Thanks so much Pete!
The best parts are the cut off edges.. loved the golden look of the wood before it was even busted out of the mold.
Agreed! Thanks so much!
Huge plus for the music. Makes me feel like im running through the Dam level, big head on, paintball cheat on, of course were talking about James Bond Golden Eye on the 64. Nice table, the base isfantastic
Haha, well that sounds fun! Glad the music could make you feel like that! Thanks so much!
absolutely a great piece, love the colors too great job guys
Thank you Tim!! Great to hear from you as always
Wish I could have seen your client's reaction. A stunningly beautiful table.
Not to sound like a broken record, but wow! What an amazing table, great job.
Thanks Fred! We’ll never get tired of hearing that
It looks fabulous. Id love that table. I love the burls.
you need to look into Forearm moving straps. They make lifting heavy objects a whole lot easier. hate seeing you guys struggle so much
Spot on.
You guys are awesome! Such excellent teamwork producing an incredibly beautiful work of art, really. It's a beautiful work of art.
You give real hope to the world that we have people like you and your personnel. Love that table.

I loved those natural edges you just cut off! oh now I see you just cut of the ends!
That table is absolutely gorgeous, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Wow guys fantastic table!!!!!!
Question: After a pour when you disassembles the table template, do you
reuse anything of the materials from the mold? Or is it just trash?
Yes we always reuse the mould sides!
Really loving that the team leader describes the intention to everyone before the lifting starts

Polyurethane can also (and most commonly is) oil based. You can spray it…and other oil finishes, too. But you can also apply by hand.
Wow guys. Just beautiful work.👍👍👍👍

Wow that's beautiful. You guys always never seem to disappoint. Craftsmanship is impeccable. Stunning
Thanks so much! Always love to see your comments!
I watched it several times but it looks like the wood was not sealed before pooring. So... was there no sealing or is it just not on the video?
We never seal the wood, it compromises the bond between the resin and wood
$30K Table. A stunner. Worth every dollar.
Thank you Emanuel! Agreed!
Thumbs up ,interesting use of the recessed stump,,,you could try doing a giant tablefloor to test the trunk's strength,thanks
It's a very collaborative place to work I'd say. They are all such good craftsman. Bravo👌🏽🙌🏼👌🏽
Bigger and impressive. Cantilever base is spectacular.

G’Job Men!!! 💪🏻👍🏻
I was biting my nails while you brought things in the house. 😆
Hahaha, us to! Thani you!
I saw light through the resin at one point. Adding LED pinlights under the resin sections of the table could add extra "pop".
Totally beyond Magnificent!!! What a Beauty!!!!👏👏👏💕💕
Thank you Kathy!
Awesome Build! Since you poured the resin over the entire table, what prevented it from being stained by the blue dye?
I believe that would be when they planed down the surface with the CNC router. Then sanded and applied the final clear coat.
@@bubblehouse544 How would that affect whether or not the blue dye in the resin stained the wood? Are you saying that because you plane off some of the top that any staining doesn't matter?
@@WVBOOM In theory. I'm no expert but the dye being blended with the epoxy wouldn't seem to have the same absorption rate as just dye by itself. Again, in theory.
BubbleHouse is spot on 👌

TABLE IS AWESOME. NICE JOB GUYS
Thanks so much Annette!
Beautiful u’ve done such a great job! We do tables on a much smaller scale, I would love to get some burlwood.
Burl is some of our favourite material to work with. Thank you!
i love when the guy shakes his head when he does the final check on the table prior to delivery. I saw that lol.
