03:28 you said "if you watching this after a year or so..." and I checked the upload date. it is indeed uploaded a year ago. what a coincidence. Love watching your videos.
Mappa. I watched the Build video of the bigger version last night and I gotta tell you you’re not bragging you’re not superficial nor are you miss guided, not by a long shot. Beautiful work well communicated your an inspiration. Low pressure high volume hvlp.
*Walnut has been my go to wood.* I set up a nice amateur wood workshop in my garage after we raised our kids. Then I got to severely hurt to ever really use it. I build two wine an glasses display cases for my wife and daughter and that was it. Life as a volunteer fire fighter and full time First Responder EMT took its toll. I donated everything so others could use and enjoy it. Now, I live vicariously through your videos. Thanks 👍🏻
I am an HVAC technician so I get it. Thanks for providing for someone else, there are so many youtubers or just people in general that could donate their old tools to someone else that it is crazy. Unfortunately for so many people that usually does not happen.
I'm 52 today. 40 years ago someone from some organization or other gave me a bunch of tools with no instructions. I just wanted to comment to say thank you for doing that. For me, it got me into technical theatre in grade 9. I stuck with it for 15 years. Put on some great shows. Got to work for some great bands who worked the college circuit from '99 - 2k. My family and I just moved into a new house after flipping the first one. We now have a 22'x25' heated garage with matching his and her's work benches. The last thing I did before we moved was to donate all my old tools. I just started on a pinball machine that I hope to build for under $70k. Cheers!
I'm a woodturner and love all of your cut off pieces, Makes me cry to see how much really beautiful pieces are tossed into the firewood bin. Your work is amazing and I often think how a turned base or legs would work with these gorgeous tables you create. Keep up the great work and if you have scraps that you want to sell let me pay for shipping I would be glad to get them.
Walnut. The humor... 😄👍 including the title, all good! Thank you Cam 🙏 For the great informative, practical and entertaining video. And thank you for the free finishing workshop. Also, it was fun seeing you tackle the aluminum in the other version. Thanks for consistently being real and encouraging when tackling new and different materials and skills. It makes it less daunting for me to tackle the unfamiliar.
probably won’t see this but we got that same spray gun at our school the high volume low pressure leave the turbine on two bars generous coats and sand with 320 Lightly in beetween coats after you sand hit it with a tack cloth to eat up all the dust and then spray again you’ll get a beautiful finish
Mappa. It's the contrast between the woods that makes that table so beautiful. More so, I could spend spend quite a bit of time looking at the layout/geometry of those holes on a mappa burl. Absolutely gorgeous!
Mappa. I’ve been watching your channel since you started on TH-cam and your skills never cease to amaze me. I’ve watched your shop grow along with your woodworking skills. Beautiful table and continued success!
Mappa. Changed my mind. On the other video I said I couldn’t make up my mind but yeah, the close up shots featuring the chatoyancy of that Mappa Burl really seals the deal! ❤
The walnut is beautiful, but the mappa is *STUNNING*. I'm pretty much over walnut. I build so much out of walnut, I really appreciate the beauty of other woods these days.
What a beautiful table, and the skill u use is perfect, ik like the smaller one a lot, the grain of the wood, if i watch the grain, i get lost in dreams!
Walnut! I absolutely love how you talk every step of the way out in all your videos. You’re giving me the confidence I need to actually go for it and try my hand at woodworking. I have a friend with a shop who has nearly all the tools, so thanks for giving me the push to dive in and develop a new hobby in my “after athletics” stage of my life.
Greetings!!! I really like every projects that you did. And im always waiting for your new videos of your project and hoping that someday i can make even a simple table.. that is why i always watch your videos to learn something.. hoping someday that i can have atleast some basic tools to use and start building something that i learned from watching your vids.. thank you very much for sharing!! God bless Us and more powers to you and the whole family.
Combo really. Definitely the walnut top but the mappa bottom (can’t do the steel shelf). Thanks for the content you share. The tables you make are beautiful.
I'm really struggling with the task.😅I like different aspects on both tables. I think the customer who ordered the big table nailed it with the aluminium shelf. Design wise it's one of my favourites now. On the other hand I just love mappa wood- the colour, patterns etc. So when it comes what I think is the better design, I'd choose big walnut one, but when it comes what I'd like to have in my living room, I'd choose mappa.
I loved both tables. But the mappa is by far my favorite. The burl is very warm. I would love to have it in our 1930s renovated home. The hardwood floors, 10ft ceiling, and double basin washboard sink would look so much nicer with that table as a centerpiece. You do great work. And I appreciate your boldness and freedom to be who you are in the face of haters. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks for an awesome video and for making your finishing workshop free! Ahn, both the walnut and the mappa looks awesome, but the mappa is really cool. I'll pick that.
Mappa when I watch this video, walnut when I watch the other one 😂 They are both gorgeous, and I would be thrilled to have the mappa one in my living room!
I think I like the walnut myself. They're both really nice work though. Your Makerbook is such a great idea. We began Men's Sheds here in Australia that anyone can come along and get help or use tools with other skilled (and unskilled!) people. It started off as a mental health initiative and has taken off around the country and also around the world. It's a great thing.
Mappa; a beautiful slab and an incredible build. (iPad spellcheck must prefer Maple and forced me to change its incorrect autocorrect several times!). You have an incredible work ethic. It seems that most of your recent projects have used slabs of live edge wood. Have you ever produced anything that requires steaming wood and bending it to conform to a shape? Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace Cam
I see this table and my mind goes back to my Industrial Arts program in high school in the mid to later 60's (Mr. Terminelli) He would have loved seeing one of his students building this and I'm sure he would have been right in there helping! Nice project! And I'm sure he would have LOVED your shop!! Well done! I'm going to end with my selection of the mapa....or maybe the.... wait.....I CAN'T DECIDE!!!!!
Walnut Coffee Table. I love the beauty in the simplicity of this design and elegant shapes which makes this coffee table a very memorable project. Thank you for the journey. Wow! That's all I can say at this moment. I used your N3 Nano Hard Coat over Rubio on a Black Walnut Coffee Table top with Birdseye maple legs. N3 over Rubio provided the most astonishing finish I've ever obtained on any of my wood projects.
Mappa! Although they're both amazing tables. For anyone that's looking for a more budget friendly HVLP airless sprayer check out the Fuji Semipro 2. I've been using mine for a couple of years now for paint and finish with great results. Was around $550 Canadian at the time, a bit more expensive now.
I’ve got a old table saw, jig saw, circular saw, miter saw and a hand router. I can be pretty dangerous with just those basic tools. I fabricate metal for a living so doing work with dead tree carcasses is a different beast. I’m about to build a sled for my table saw to start doing some basic jointery. Watching videos like this get me exited to start building some beautiful wood stuff. I’d like to get a router table and a cheap planer secondhand to really step my game up and make everything square and perfectly flat,
The Mappa table is just awesome. I'm about to embark on my first table making and I think I will utilize this for inspiration. It will be the first Loco Mokko (Loco: Crazy [spanish], Mokko: Woodworking [Japanese]). We're just getting our shop set up to get started in the countryside of Japan, and I'm a little crazy. Can't wait! Our first top will probably be made from Pear Wood. Scott From Japan
Mappa. One of the hardest things to identify when you're a beginner is - which steps require precision, and which don't. I appreciate you calling that out.
Im very thankfull that you describe everything you do. It's much easier to understand for me because sometimes im struggleing a little bit with some woodworking related words. But when i see what you're doing i know. Anyhow, big thanks for all my friend.
Still can’t choose after watching both videos Mappa or Walnut they are both absolutely gorgeous and beautiful Amazing work Cam and love both of the channels can’t wait to see more videos ..
Walnut, I think the mappa is gorgeous, but after watching your video on the walnut yesterday and seeing both, the aluminum shelf underneath turned out stunning.
Mappa looks warmer :) The authenticity in this video made it my far on your channel. Statements like "I have always been intimidated by spray finishes" made it very relatable.
Not going to lie, Walnut but in saying that, both are so nice! I can not deny that you are so great and being so much too the woodworking world. For that, I thank you.👊🏾
The Mappa is beautiful. Really both tables are gorgeous, i love your work and fascinated with your approach to woodwork. All of your work is awesome, please keep showing your videos. Best wishes from the UK.
I can't pick one table over the other. Both are pretty awesome. One trick I use for small cracks, pits and stuff like that is to put some CA glue in the defect and sand it and add more glue until it is filled. After it is filled hit it with activator and give another light sanding.
The figure in that mappa is amazing. And it resembles curly maple with the burl mix its gorgeous. I learned a hard lesson with water base finish. Ive only worked with one though and it was early on in their foray into water base. And that was minwax. It milked out really bad.
The mappa and walnut are so different and both so beautiful, I couldn't choose a favorite. My choice would depend on which fit better in the space it was destined for!
12:20 One of the useful tips I heard about, and actually tried once before repainting some old - sdader - as we call them in Morocco is to spray a little bit of water in the surroundings before starting to spray the finish coat, I know it might be a stupid idea in your case since wood is seriously sensitive to water, but I just thought it might be interesting to avoid dust - as possible at least - I enjoy your videos by the way thank you for your high quality content : )
I like the Walnut, though the Mappa is ery nice. I try to watch all of your videos. You do nice work, and are honest and straightforward. I don't know if I've ever seen you wet sand though. Next time you're experimenting with your finishes, try using wet dry sandpaper. 2-3 drops of dish soap and water in a spray bottle, and a hard rubber sanding block, and you'll cut your sanding time in half. If the finish is fresh, and water based, don't walk away for too long without wiping off. I painted cars years ago, and thought I'd try the same method on woodworking finishes. I think it works great. Have a good one.
@blacktailstudioubcut Now I'm nervous. Anytime someone says to me, "got something for you" , it doesn't end well. Usually it's just the middle finger. Ha.
Walnut is definitely gorgeous, and with that thick shelf it turned out great... however... I'm more of a fan of the mappa burl top. Love the contrast between the woods and any kind of burl feels so unique in its own right that I would choose that one given the choice. Great builds!
If people don't want to invest in equipment, polyurethane spray cans give you a uniform finish but most projects require several cans, which are relatively expensive. Just 4 cans will cost you about $50. Instead, I used to brush several coats, then spray the last. I also tried a $40 Wagner sprayer and it works if you thin the poly enough but I was never able to get it to atomize very well. Now I mostly use Odie's Oil or wipe-on poly (3:2:1 mineral spirits, poly and BLO mix.) Both are low stress to use and give good results in different ways.
Mappa - but only because I had to choose one. Both are beautiful pieces of woodworking. I think your content delivery on both channels is spot on and I enjoy both.
03:28 you said "if you watching this after a year or so..." and I checked the upload date. it is indeed uploaded a year ago. what a coincidence. Love watching your videos.
That's crazy, I was in fact watching this a year late.
Me too. Wtf
Same here how the f have I not seen this before
Ditto
Same
Mappa. I watched the Build video of the bigger version last night and I gotta tell you you’re not bragging you’re not superficial nor are you miss guided, not by a long shot. Beautiful work well communicated your an inspiration. Low pressure high volume hvlp.
Walnut I feel the exact same way.
Mappa.
He’s not miss guided. He’s Mr. Guided.
Did the video of the bigger version get pulled? I saw it about a week ago and then went back to try to show a friend and I can't find it anywhere
*Walnut has been my go to wood.* I set up a nice amateur wood workshop in my garage after we raised our kids. Then I got to severely hurt to ever really use it. I build two wine an glasses display cases for my wife and daughter and that was it. Life as a volunteer fire fighter and full time First Responder EMT took its toll. I donated everything so others could use and enjoy it. Now, I live vicariously through your videos. Thanks 👍🏻
I am an HVAC technician so I get it. Thanks for providing for someone else, there are so many youtubers or just people in general that could donate their old tools to someone else that it is crazy. Unfortunately for so many people that usually does not happen.
I'm 52 today. 40 years ago someone from some organization or other gave me a bunch of tools with no instructions. I just wanted to comment to say thank you for doing that. For me, it got me into technical theatre in grade 9. I stuck with it for 15 years. Put on some great shows. Got to work for some great bands who worked the college circuit from '99 - 2k. My family and I just moved into a new house after flipping the first one. We now have a 22'x25' heated garage with matching his and her's work benches. The last thing I did before we moved was to donate all my old tools. I just started on a pinball machine that I hope to build for under $70k. Cheers!

That killer me too all this amazing wood I can put on my lathe and turning into a masterpiece
Yep, I recently got my first lathe, and although I’m not very good at it at all, it still hurts me to see those go to waste…
Walnut.
The humor... 😄👍 including the title, all good! Thank you Cam 🙏 For the great informative, practical and entertaining video. And thank you for the free finishing workshop.
Also, it was fun seeing you tackle the aluminum in the other version. Thanks for consistently being real and encouraging when tackling new and different materials and skills. It makes it less daunting for me to tackle the unfamiliar.
I love Mappa. Walnut looks noble but Mappa plays so nice with all the patterns... just beautiful
The walnut with the aluminum shelf is fabulous but this rocks too. Love both channels.
The way the light dances off of the textures of the mappa burl after the N3 is glorious. I hope whomever won this loves it.
The mappa table is outstanding but the walnut is no slouch either. Neat video. Scott
probably won’t see this but we got that same spray gun at our school the high volume low pressure leave the turbine on two bars generous coats and sand with 320 Lightly in beetween coats after you sand hit it with a tack cloth to eat up all the dust and then spray again you’ll get a beautiful finish

Combo really. Definitely the walnut top but the mappa bottom (can’t do the steel shelf).
Thanks for the content you share. The tables you make are beautiful.
ohhh boy... both tables are beautifull, thanks a lot, I watch all your videos, give me some calm in the midle of my busy day. Thanks a lot from México

Mapa table is which table I like. Thanks for walking us through the build and all the reasons behind why you did it.
Mappa burl for sure. I love the contrast. But the walnut is still beautiful.
Walnut. Loved the aluminium shelf mixed with the wood
Both are beautiful and hard to say a favorite. Likely the walnut would keep everyone in house happy!
I see this table and my mind goes back to my Industrial Arts program in high school in the mid to later 60's (Mr. Terminelli) He would have loved seeing one of his students building this and I'm sure he would have been right in there helping!

I'm a sucker for walnut, so that's what I'm going to have to go with here. That being said, the mappa sure is striking. Beautiful table Cam.
Really like the Mappa (the coated aluminum was cool, but the grain/pattern on the Mappa just blows everything away)
The lighter top on the darker Walnut base was very striking!
Walnut. They both are actually amazing. Good work.
I love the mappa wood table. Outstanding work.
Mappa is just so much lighter for interior projects.
Lovely build. Thank you.
Walnut. Both woods are beautiful and the finishing looked beautiful. Great design.
Mappa, love watching your vids, gaining lots of knowledge to try your projects in my small shop. Thanks. 🇺🇸

Walnut for me. I could watch those build all day long. Cut, uncut, doesn't matter ❤
Such an awesome piece of wood and the N3 is spectacular
Mapple. It’s the burl that is so intriguing to me. Well done, you.
Hard choice, love them both, I get so excited when I see you have posted a new video, can't wait to see what you are bringing to life.
Its the Mappa table We just love the look finnish and its size. Stunning.
Mappa Coffe Table with Burl, a much-loved table by this girl :)))
this will probably become my next years woodworking project for school.
Im very thankfull that you describe everything you do. It's much easier to understand for me because sometimes im struggleing a little bit with some woodworking related words. But when i see what you're doing i know.
Anyhow, big thanks for all my friend.
Wow I love the mappa table it is just the right contrast
Yep, now that I've watched both, I'll say it again....MAPPA and WALNUT, I'll take one of each 😊
Kills me EVERY TIME he chops the live edge off... deep into my soul 😭 And yes, I get, it's not for everyone.
Mappa all day!
Still can’t choose after watching both videos Mappa or Walnut they are both absolutely gorgeous and beautiful Amazing work Cam and love both of the channels can’t wait to see more videos ..
Walnut, I think the mappa is gorgeous, but after watching your video on the walnut yesterday and seeing both, the aluminum shelf underneath turned out stunning.
Mappa looks warmer :)
The authenticity in this video made it my far on your channel. Statements like "I have always been intimidated by spray finishes" made it very relatable.
Mappa.
I love the simplicity of this build. I’m gonna build something similar to this soon. Love these smaller builds
Mappa. Both are so gorgeous but I love the look of burl wood so much.
I'll watch either of your channels it doesn't need to be the crazy projects.
Hard choice, but in this case I would go with maps, looks gorgeous with the combination of walnut.
@BlacktailStudiouncutt double 't.. Right
Not going to lie,
Walnut but in saying that, both are so nice! I can not deny that you are so great and being so much too the woodworking world. For that, I thank you.👊🏾
Love the walnut with the black shelve.
Mappa, it looks like it's made of gold. Crazy beautiful
Mappa. Walnut is is amazing, but the Mappa with the nano finish is gorgeous.
Walnut. And no question this week. Thank you for just entertaining me.

The Mappa is beautiful.
Really both tables are gorgeous, i love your work and fascinated with your approach to woodwork.
All of your work is awesome, please keep showing your videos.
Best wishes from the UK.
I really like the Walnut but both look awesome!
I can't pick one table over the other. Both are pretty awesome. One trick I use for small cracks, pits and stuff like that is to put some CA glue in the defect and sand it and add more glue until it is filled. After it is filled hit it with activator and give another light sanding.
Both….
Cam, you could have 6 channels and people would watch them all. Your quality speaks for itself….
Both beautiful, but I think I prefer the walnut. Deeper tones. Like seeing something I could actually give a go in my garage shop.
Yours are the only videos I actually watch all the way through. Good stuff!!
Walnut - The Mappa burl really came out beautiful! You always do such amazing work. Thank you!
Walnut is my favourite, just stunning 😍
The walnut and Mappa look really nice together!
Mapa! That protector is pretty impressive to see the difference in sheens! Thank you for the knowledge!
Gonna go with Mappa. Your attention to detail is like no other.
The figure in that mappa is amazing. And it resembles curly maple with the burl mix its gorgeous. I learned a hard lesson with water base finish. Ive only worked with one though and it was early on in their foray into water base. And that was minwax. It milked out really bad.
The mappa and walnut are so different and both so beautiful, I couldn't choose a favorite. My choice would depend on which fit better in the space it was destined for!
Mappa for me. Really great contrast with the walnut, and the grain structure in the Mappa is fantastic!
12:20 One of the useful tips I heard about, and actually tried once before repainting some old - sdader - as we call them in Morocco is to spray a little bit of water in the surroundings before starting to spray the finish coat, I know it might be a stupid idea in your case since wood is seriously sensitive to water, but I just thought it might be interesting to avoid dust - as possible at least -
I enjoy your videos by the way thank you for your high quality content : )
Mappa. A joy to watch! Thanks.
The mappa. I really like the light color and the pattern.
I like the Walnut, though the Mappa is ery nice. I try to watch all of your videos. You do nice work, and are honest and straightforward. I don't know if I've ever seen you wet sand though. Next time you're experimenting with your finishes, try using wet dry sandpaper. 2-3 drops of dish soap and water in a spray bottle, and a hard rubber sanding block, and you'll cut your sanding time in half. If the finish is fresh, and water based, don't walk away for too long without wiping off. I painted cars years ago, and thought I'd try the same method on woodworking finishes. I think it works great. Have a good one.
@blacktailstudioubcut
Now I'm nervous. Anytime someone says to me, "got something for you" , it doesn't end well. Usually it's just the middle finger. Ha.
I like the walnut best with a darker shade, but the mappa looks phenomenal.
Mappa. They are both beautiful, but that mappa is AMAZING!
Yes.
That is Mappa AND Walnut (both are, obviously, amazing).
Thanks for showing and, for some blessed person, sharing. Cheers.
Mappa looks good I like the contrast between the walnut and the mappa
Mappa--great build and finish. Always enjoy your stuff
The Mappa looks fantastic. Love the contrast. I would normally have thought I would prefer the walnut.
Walnut. I like the darker theme. This is good too!
Walnut is definitely gorgeous, and with that thick shelf it turned out great... however... I'm more of a fan of the mappa burl top. Love the contrast between the woods and any kind of burl feels so unique in its own right that I would choose that one given the choice. Great builds!
Mappa. That’s definitely my favourite table so far.
