      Thanks Bob, I missed your comment until today! The Epoxy pours can be pretty scary for me every time. I have to try a clear pour next!

    The alternative to too much tape is usually a really bad mistake. That template shifts and you have a big problem. No such thing as too much tape. Beautiful piece. Maybe someday soon we can put a face to this southern accent? Great video sir!

      Thanks intentional tom! I am drawn to curves and more arty shapes. I think I was having doubts also. I am doing a bass drum, and 2 tom drums put together and wrapped in walnut veneer with walnut tops as a coffee table next! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING

    A very nice piece of furniture. I’ve been woodworking for 45 years plus and have made many, many tables. Rectangular are easy but curved get more interesting. In years gone by, we obviously didn’t have CNC and so we made our templates manually. I still don’t have a CNC but get mine cut when I need them.
    We also didn’t have epoxy.i think epoxy is a mixed blessing (speaking as someone who has just finished 2 of them). It does let us use timber that, years ago, would just go a firewood. However, I feel it’s taken some creativity and skills away as the answer for some now is to fill other with epoxy. But that’s life.
    I’ve finished another table a month ago where I used European walnut in quite the shape you have but surrounded it with oak. It was very time consuming in that I had to make several template to that junction between oak and walnut tight all around the curves.
    None of this is in anyway negative to your build. It was very creative and I applaud also the quality of the video itself.
    Have you tried switching to a 2 pack hard wax oil. Obviously, Osmo was the go-to but I think the era of 1 pack is going. 2 pack gives me fast curing and a coat only solution. I persuaded by the Wood Whisperers video reviewing 2 pack to switch from Rubio to Natura Onecoat. I won’t be going back. Better cans mean I can go drip free; fast cure (in about an hour I can handle the piece, freeing up my bench and stopping dust ruining the piece) and it’s cheaper (per can, and it seems to me, it goes further)

      Thanks, I am drawn to the odd shapes. I am not very good at straight lines. If I didn't have the pattern it would have taken a week to sand the curves-thank goodness for the people that do have them- its not for me either but definitely a shortcut-I am a little older than most of these MAKER TYPES therefore tech is natural for me and I am very grateful for the view and comment.

      I really appreciate it! I am rather long in the tooth to start this at 60 but I have so many things I want to build. Strangely enough my ideas are a little off mainstream but hope there are viewers for me. Let me know when you are up and running!
