- Definitely the biggest burl I've ever worked with, and maybe the biggest burl I have ever seen. This slab came from a tree planted in someone's yard 67 years ago. I will attempt to make it into a table

You like Bob Seger and Led Zeppelin because they liked The Beatles.
Was just talking about that with my video guy. All of my favorite bands were obsessed with the band I don’t like. So The Beatles definitely deserve the title of most inspirational (average) band.
I agree. I still enjoy Seger most of all.
@@BlacktailStudio agree -- the beatles are lame, all time overrated
If you think the Beatles were not a good band, you must not be a musician. Musicaly they are all excellent musicians on their own. Very difficult to do what they did. Seger and Zeppelin are also excellent musicians in their own right. The Beatles just did it first.
Many of the world’s best musicians were average at best if you’re only looking on a base level. Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean they were average.
Literally laughing so much at the "go buy it yourself and make something so I can mock it" vibe in the beginning. I love it :)
The nicest "go fuck yourself" ever... hahaha
Loved that too .... so funny!
Yeah... that was an epic precursor to a slam. Well played.
My favourite bit
Just glad someone gets me Paul. Hopefully offsets all the people who leave.
Good thing to know about wenge:
”The dust produced when cutting or sanding wenge can cause dermatitis similar to the effects of poison ivy and is an irritant to the eyes. The dust also can cause respiratory problems and drowsiness. Splinters are septic, similar to those of greenheart (the wood of Chlorocardium rodiei).”
-wikipedia
Had to up vote this, didn't know! Thanks for sharing!!!
Same goes for ebony, really irritating stuff!
I thought that when he took it to the jointer making dust without any mask on. Iroko is also best avoided inhaling.
While particular woods may be worse I'm pretty sure anything including things not made from wood in dust form can and will cause problems especially if inhaled
Can attest to that, if you don’t remove a split pretty much immediately you will find it yellow and festering the next morning
Love the dog ! I am a 69 year old lady. No wood working skills. Watch your videos to the end, as I enjoy watching people with talent. Thank you for your hard work making your videos !
The captions are one of my favorite parts of cam’s videos.
You made me laugh out loud. "Hey, I turned forty this year and I don't have to explain myself." Love your videos and sense of humour.
Just wait till you turn 50….
@@robh.8214 Closing in on 70 here.
That is the great thing about woodworking, you can do it your entire life!!!
@@robh.8214 only if you can lift the slab in his case! 😏
Looks horrible for 40
I find your videos are incredibly calming. As someone who has severe generalized anxiety disorder, watching you turn regular wood into amazing tables that are just beautiful to look at (wish I could see it in person!) really calms my nerves down and makes my day a whole lot better. By far the best channel I've ever subscribed to; high quality content and emotional benefit.
Wow, thanks so much Brandon
Whether you cut it or not is up to you. You know what you're doing, I don't. Your projects are always outstanding no matter what the size.
My routine is get home from work and binge watch your TH-cam page it literally makes my day 😊
I’m only 17, but watching your videos has inspired me to try this type of thing out. Just bought the online workshop and it has been a huge help with condensing all the info I need to confidently dip my toe into something pretty foreign and intimidating. The fact I’m also from Oregon makes me feel great that I can get my hands on certain woods without too much effort. Of course, always looking forward to the next video. I’m determined to have this thing work out for me and an easily accessible source of knowledge such as your channel, I’ll forever be grateful for.
There aren’t too many young people like you, most people your age are buried in video game’s, it’s good to see the interest from a much younger generation, please try to encourage your friends your hope for the future ! 👍👍👍
That’s awesome man
You're at a perfect age to do this. If you don't know carpentry find someone you can apprentice under for a bit, so you learn your way around a shop without losing any of your fingers.
Houston person here. Hamilton Lee is well regarded here. In addition to being a great supply source, they've been great supporting the local woodworker and maker communities - having get togethers, patronizing shows, and even announcing special sales for local people.
◈
I agree with your belief on the Beatles, as far as dog breed I can only guess a black & tan mox maybe a bit of blood hound. Love how the table came out very interesting woods! I have used that water base finish, but for knife handles so didn't need to be as meticulous with the finish. As always great video, thank you!
I am not a wood worker but I am fixated watching your patients and talent.
Your work is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Patience....
You are what’s good about the internet. I get to see things I never would have the opportunity otherwise. I see things I couldn’t imagine. I find master craftsmen (and women) to be inspiring.
A:Entlebucher Mountain Dog... I had to Google how to spell it but I have the advantage of growing up going to dog shows.
B: This desk is amazing and I REALLY love the contrast and simplicity. A+
Wow, I’m impressed!
@@BlacktailStudio I would like to thank my mother for this victory 😂
I walked confidently up to one of these guys at a show once and was like “Such an adorable swiss!!!!” The lady shot back “she’s an Entlebucher.” I still asked if I could pet her dog since they were done in the ring and she was soooooo cute!!! I think it was back when they were FSS and I’ve always googled the difference between the Berner, swiss, Entlebucher, and Appenzeller Sennenhunde on the down low before walking up to one now. I learned my lesson!!! They all give excellent doggie kisses and snuggles 🥰 10/10 recommend.
@@feefifofum04 congratulations 👍🏼
Mutt. I too became a senior this year... in high school. I’ll be in advanced wood shop this year and I love your work.
Burmese mountain dog…? I’m not a wood worker but I love watching you create these gorgeous pieces! When you said “I just turned 40. I don’t have to explain myself”. Ha! I felt that. Hard. I am pushing 50 and still learning new things. I need to figure out a dining table idea and commission you. 😊
Fur not long enough for a Burmese. Looks more like an Appenzellar Sennenhund
Bernese, as in Bern, Switzerland, not Burma.
your videos are so relaxing, an absolute life saver for me at the moment
I've been a TH-cam addict for over 10 years.... and you're the only TH-camr I've ever kept up with. I watch every new video within 24 hours and have seen every video. I love your work. Truly talented. Not just woodworking but your video skills as well. Don't change for anyone, especially not the trolls who leave negative comments 👹
@𝙟𝙚𝙣𝙮 9 you don't say...
As a cabinet maker myself, I can appreciate the amount of work that went into that table top. U got skills mate! New sub from Australia
“Text me” posts are scammers - DO NOT CLICK OR REPLY!
The 3M “Finesse it” polishing materials are great on water based poly. I did a very large kitchen island out of Sapele and the top is smooth as glass without looking like plastic. Also, you can get the finish to flow out better if you put some of the flowing agent they sell for latex paint.
That whole “ if you don’t like it, do it yourself” attitude was just amazing and hopefully headed off most of those comments you were talking about.
Just recently found your channel. I don't know jack about wood working really but all the content you make is top notch. The products, the workmanship, the materials.... it's all very entertaining and educational to watch.
Thats ok he doesnt know Jack about music. ha kidding I do think the Beatles were/are good not great. I think them being first made them as big as they were.
I'm the same. I don't know anything about woodworking, have no woodworking tools, but I just like his videos.
I come for the woodworking, I stay for the 'Fan of the Week' bits at the end. Like always, you have not disappointed on either! Keep it up, buddy!
I just started watching your videos recently and your skills are amazing. I love watching you create such beautiful pieces of art.
That turned out beautifully! Congrats to the lucky person who got this 🤩. You do such magnificent work !!!👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I would love to see more videos on burl projects as this one was beautiful. Im currently waiting on a larger 48" white oak burl to finish drying outside after being milled into about 15 cuts. Im a novice with a relatively cheap set of wood working tools and im really going to try my best to make something as beautiful as this. Its always harder to get a nicer finish on a limited set of tools but im willing to put the work in as its a personal project and not for sale. Thanks cam for another winner.
Absolutely love how you have developed as a Creator, your videos are very informative Not only for the wood you are using but also the personal experiences and opinions on the different material's and tools while bringing these beautiful prices together. Great Job
I think Rigs is definitely a beagle or beagle mix. As to the legs, they look great! Wenge is actually quite popular in custom traditional archery bows, long bows and recurves.
I have to say i real like watch all the work you do on your tables and how much perfectos and how much you care about all the work you're doing. Please keep it up
When I use poly, I mix it with water so that it's very thin and soak a micro fiber rag in it and wipe it on. It takes a lot of coats but it dries quickly so the time spent is almost the same. Love your builds, currently in a 6hr deep dive into your channel. Fantastic stuff.
(Terrier or muttdog) Your solution on discussing whether or not to cut up the slab was absolutely perfect, and I loved it.
It was excellent shade
18:48 I work commercial, you should see the "finishes" that they count as acceptable. Love the quality of your work
The Beatles Were like one of your tables smooth and beautiful.❤
Wenge is such a beautiful wood. I made a computer desk and used wenge as the tabletop and I can say the grain is insane. One of my favorite woods to use
I used wenge for quite a while, and ran into all of those problems that you did here. I stopped using it, quite a while ago, but still wanted a wood that was dark and exceptional looking. I ended up using Ziricote. I just love it, but it loads up sanding belts. I also wanted to say that over the years I built up an allergy to many of the woods dust. So because I didn’t want to quit,(I’m 70 now) I spent the money for a PAPR. I can’t tell you how much of a game changer it was for me.
No idea on Riggs' breed (I'm more of a cat person myself), but I love what you did with this. I particularly love how you call out other makers that help you and try to be conscientious about supporting new woodworkers (or warning them that it's not a good idea for someone new). You're a class act, kudos!
I’m trying!
I do watch four-eyes woodworking videos as well as some others. The guy that does the narrations for four-eye has a good and calming voice so like Cam's video I enjoy listening to him talk. I have watched some that only have music or the woodworking sounds and sometimes just mute the sounds if I watch them. I enjoyed watching the positive couple"s video. I have also subscribed to Homemade in Lviv and pray they stay safe.
Thank you for your wonderful videos! It's really nice to see how much you respect the material and that you are very self-critical about your work. And as much as you often try to talk it down: You are really a very good woodworker! Continued success and best regards from Berlin/Germany.
I actually love that you put the live edge on the side I have some live edge oak I've been wanting to make a desk out of but having a live edge front and back are terrible for me since I clamp my monitor mounts, flight sticks, and racing wheel to my desk. You proved it still looks good which is reassuring.
Been watching for about 2 or more years now and my favorite thing is you don’t hold your tongue for all the trolls. So many TH-camrs let arm chair experts get the best of them but you aren’t one of them. Your work is amazing I’m happy you’ve been able to grow your business! Obviously I never comment but I feel it’s warranted after re watching this episode.
My twin brother made his first resin table thanks to you. Keep up the good work.
Not a woodworker, nor do I want to be. I watch your videos for the fascinating transformation of raw tree slice into a work of art. And your commentary is honest and humorous. Keep them coming!
Beautiful wood. It came out as a stunning table. Well done.
So jealous....wish I had gotten into your line of work when I was younger. Not the first video of yours I've seen. And you do some beautiful art work with wood.
Beautiful! I love your work. Thank you for letting us see how you do it!
Sam, I enjoy your sense of humor and your wood working. Please keep sharing both with us.
It’s Cam
Sorry to see all that work go to waste. Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I love Burl so much! When the finish goes on, it's like being reborn
If you made a 10 hour long compilation of finishing tables I’d watch that all day. Most satisfying thing I’ve seen in my life
For poly, use a foam pad. They’re about 4x6 and leave a glass smooth finish. Check out stuff for floor finish application. Had to refinish a boat full of teak floor to figure it out.
Burmese , The table is Magnificent and deserves every bit of praise you receive. Well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍
the small Asian cat....
FYI Burmese are people not dogs. Bernese is a dog. The Burmese are from Myanmar and their snakes are called Burmese Pythons because they are found in Myanmar too. Those are the invasive pythons in Fla.
Cabinet..dude, it's an amazing looking piece, you should be proud of what you produced and how you managed to figure out way's to create it, I think the copper, moulded the same way you did the steel would have worked especially with the finish and lightning you installed. Well done, from Chris in the UK
The trick with water based poly is to not over work it. I made the mistake of continuing to work it. It will self level as it cures. Phenomenal work, Cam!
I use wenge in a lot of custom boards - just be extra careful when using it without dust/mask protection. It's been known to cause neurological issues. It's splinters are exceptionally painful too.
Allergies/Toxicity: Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, breathing wenge wood dust has been reported to cause central nervous system effects, abdominal cramps, irritation of the skin and eyes, and is also a sensitizer.
Fancy pants woods like that are quite full of natural oils the tree makes to stave off attack from the thousands of critters that would otherwise go to town! These oils are quite often the way a lot of exotic woods are harmful to us!! I've got a ton of money sunk into respiratory protection!!!! As should anyone who wants to do this kinda thing for a profession!
We also have to actually WEAR the aforementioned protection for it to have any positive affect!
:o that's amazing and good to know! thank you for commenting this!
A LOT of highly decorative woods contain natural insecticides that are thrown into the air when sawing and sanding. A few of them can do permanent damage or even be fatal if not handled properly.
Really enjoy your narrations, including the self-deprecating stuff. Nice and honest. Well done.
the fact that you thought of taking down some of the spikes is crazy. ur attention to detain is insane and i truly appreciate it
My great grandmother had a butterfly kitchen table made from burl. Lost it in a fire but that slab looks like a soon to be family heirloom. Stunningly beautiful imo.
Entlebucher Mountain Dog. As a novice woodturner, I was drooling heavily over that burl the whole video. Excellent work.
Yeah, I did the Google thing too 🐕🤷♂️
How did you know that? It's no wonder people get the breed wrong all the time. I have not heard of the breed, but looked it up & you are spot on. Nice!
He actually said it in one of the previous videos so anyone watching a ton of his videos with a good memory would get it right off. But yeah, would have never guessed it
I just knew the Appenzeller Mountain dog, but the tail wasn't right... They're almost identical though
You wouldn't want to turn that. It's very soft and requires a tonne of sanding at the end. The sanding usually leads to uneven sections because of varied wood hardness in the piece.
I love watching and listening to your creative process, its fascinating.
Really like the custom table legs you made. They look fantastic.
One of the most beautiful wood table I've seen so far. Congrats on a job well done Blacktail Studio.
Splendid work! Witty narrative!!! Just love it!
I love watching AND listening to you. You crack me up. Your furniture is ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL! I really want to start making furniture.
I recently found your channel and subscribed. I love watching the character of the wood emerge as you finish it. Seeing all wild things, you do with all the different kinds of wood. I am from Ontario Canada
What a beautiful table!
I have used the water based poly on some wood turnings, applying it like you wood a wipe on poly but working much faster it will dry fast. Apply in a small area and wipe it back off with a cotton rag you can apply additional coats after 30 min or so to get it to build up somewhat.
Thanks. It’s always enjoyable watching you work 🧸
I like to use round paint sponges for large flat surfaces instead of foam brushes. It might save a little trouble next time 😊
Looks like I came late to the party, but I enjoy watching your technique and decision making process. I only wish I could set up a woodworking shop because I enjoyed doing things when I was much much younger. It is so much fun to see how you handle things when the wood is difficult or too soft. Great job. My goal is to see all your videos. Thanks for the entertainment.
Education
If Riggs is a big boy my guess would be greater swiss mountain dog. If he's not so big then maybe appenzeller, or entlebucher mountain dog. And from one woodworker to another, wit is an asset, while humor is a necessity. You inject both quite nicely into your videos. Oh by the way nice work! P.s. I used to work with an old swiss woodworker who looked a lot like riggs. Nate G
I would have also guessed Appenzeller 😊
@@El-Mazz I would go with Appenzeller Sennenhund as well because it has the white nose and neck instead of brown like most dogs this color.
Try fish eye eliminator
have to admit it was a wow moment when you cut that slab in half. :-) Its just incredible the huge amount of slabs of all kinds you have available to you. You do great work.
Entlebucher. I just found your videos and I'm binging. I love your work, I love your humor, and I'm learning loads!
It’s great seeing a smaller table, finally one that doesn’t cost nearly the same as a new car for people who live in houses with massive amounts of space.
The big desks look cool are amazing. I’ve also got nothing against the price, you do an amazing job and they’re worth it. I just enjoy seeing a table for a different kind of customer.
yeah a "different" kind of customer, the one who pays 5000 for a computer desk
Hard to believe that this is really wood. It looks so, unwood like, and I can't even imagine what it's like to work with it.... Thanks for the great video....
mowe hair rollers are brilliant. I'm a painter and decorater been using them for 30 years. I can make a door look like is been sprayed using one of those rollers! It was just a thought!!
I worked where this kinda all begins...I worked in the bush as a faller :) and it was so important to have good notching and very good directional falling so the wood wont split or scar. The hardwoods are worth thousands of dollars for one good tree. I love watching the wood transform into works of art. Thank You. edited for spelling mistakes...lol
Greater swiss mountain dog or entlebucher
Mountain dog is my guess.
I'm currently building a table for my house and this is so helpful! Thank you!
I'm terrible at dog breeds so my guess is he's a good boi! Anyway, i have never done a single wood working project in my life and i've been subscribed for a good while now. The process is awesome to see, the results are amazing and the humour you add to the videos never fails to make me actually laugh, the call to action had me in stitches. Can't wait to see the other table.
Agreed! Same here, I've never had the opportunity to work with wood...& have zero knowledge. But his videos are a fun time:)
Just stumbled across your channel and now can't stop watching. Absolute pleasure watching someone so skilled at what you do. You now have another subscriber here in the UK, keep those videos coming 😊
Gorgeous table I watch your videos to the end I Love them Iam a lover of wood and natural materials
You really do love pushing peoples buttons, it’s so fun! Of course the Beatles were and still are one of the best bands ever. Very revolutionary for the 60’s. I only found your channel, or TH-cam spot or whatever. I think your videos are wonderful, and you do an excellent job. Bravo!
Since you spend so much time sanding your pieces, in your next vid, can you maybe go over what you're expecting the wood to look like between grits, and why you expect a certain grit finish to be enough (e.g. why stop sanding on this table surface at 500 grit). Would be great to hear!
It looks like an Entlebucher. I love that you got a little sassy in this video, Sasse from the man with class, lol. I just love this channel, look forward to each and every video. I watch it as soon as I can, work permitting of course. Fantastic piece by the way. I am going to go look at the bidding right now. Jimmy
Thank you for doing these videos. I like your sense of humor. please keep it up.
Huntaway. Like the Wenge and the burl. I used to turn wood for pens so I got to see a lot of different kinds of wood. I really enjoy your videos.
Amazing work. I can appreciate the price tag on things like this
Your work is beautiful! I refinish hardwood floors professionally..this table is big enough to use rollers for a finish, not brushes. Pay a little more and get ones that won't bleed, not cheap ones. It takes a little time to not apply it too heavy, yet at same time not too thin..I'm learning so much from your videos, you can tell when someone is the real deal, and not not just going thru the motions! Cheers!
You do wonderful I only wish I could afford it to put in a bid. I do some wood working myself but not to your degree or quality always enjoy watching and learning. Thanks from a retired plumber and part time wood worker
Beauceron ----- The use of the epoxy with thinner to harden soft would is great tip. with poly I have found that sometimes pouring it on then spreading with a foam brush works well
Better I love all of the table builds they are gorgeous. Killer work .
You are an amazing artist. I love your channel. Keep up the great work.
I’ll say Riggs is a beagle who’s family doesn’t talk about grandmas fling with the Rottweiler. Beautiful project, as always. I totally get your decision on the template for the table legs but the puzzle piece is too cool to give up on. I’m not a woodworker but I’m betting that some people would still go for that template even if they did need to buy another router bit.
Beat me to it.
That sounds like a great guess.
I'm also with you on the puzzle template for the Wenge legs. Probably my favorite exotic wood. Wood Data Base is my favorite website being the wood grain nut that I am.
🤣
Thanks for the comment about the Beatles and I agree with you totally. I'm from that era and never could understand why they were so popular. They were often not in tune when singing and even the orchestrations were that great. Paul, John and George did write some interesting tunes, however, which hold up pretty well. I'm am no woodworker but always interested in seeing it done. I'll have to say that I would approach that soft wood with lots of trepidation. It seems so easy to damage especially for beginners.
Cam, I have dozens of woodworking you-tubers in my favourites list, but having watched every video on your TH-cam channel, I can honestly say YOU DO IT BETTER THAN NYONE ELSE MATE!
He’s a mutt. Your lovable mutt. Nothing more need be said. EXCELLENT video, one of your best. I myself will NEVER use a piece of wood that expensive for a desk top but then I’m nowhere near your abilities. Having said that, you teach me to strive for excellence in all my builds so thank you.
Love the videos you do. Im every time inspired by what you do. Makes me feel that my small business can grow into something.
Thanks man👌😎
I just turned 42... I get it bro. Always love your videos. I've learned so much. Thank you.
I’m hooked on your videos! Your dog is beautiful! I’m 61 years young and have collected a bunch of tools. I really want to start woodworking. I need to get one of your master classes.
I recently found that thinning the polish by 50% meant that you got a smooth finish as though sprayed. I am not sure if it'll work with a water based polish but it did work for turps based. The only downside is that you have to apply a lot of coats. It dried fast though.
As a 30 year vet in tge business i can confirm that it works the same for any base. There are however products that can be added to not only water based but solvent bases as well tgat do not compromise the integrity of the product. Spraying is definitely the way to go and using a gravity feed hvlp gun for only about $60 can improve aplication and speed as well as consitency of mil thicknness. This also cuts down on the time consuming sanding. Types of guns and tips vary greatly but take little time to adapt to. As in all finish scenarios a test piece is recommended.
I would expect it to raise the grain more than a spirit thinners.
I believe a lot of the wipe-on poly's are exactly that. The standard poly thinned out with denatured alcohol.
Love watching your stuff because a) it's wonderful and b) you come across as literally one of the most down to earth non judgemental woodworkers on this whole platform.
The way you asked for a subscription🙏🏻🙏🏻, man you earned it
The smartassery is highly appreciated Cam. 🤘🏼
Knew that was Wenge. It has incredibly cool grain but what makes it really impressive is it's density.
Stuff is ULTRA dense and hard, which is why it chipped like that on you. My dad has installed hardwood floors made of Wenge and he said he went through SO many blades making his cuts and they're all nice carbides. He's been doing it for almost 50 years and it's still one of the hardest installs he's ever done.
Videos been up 16hr and table is way past the cost of the entire burl, lol.
Awesome work! Love the swirl in burl wood. Riggs looks like a Greater Swiss Mountain dog to me.
I agree! I think Riggs is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.
How much did it end up selling for ??
