I know what you guys are thinking, “where’s Mitch?“ I’m sorry to keep my fans waiting. I just had a baby boy and I have been too busy showing him all of my favorite Brad moments. His first words shall be “Laser Brad”
BEAUTIFUL TRIP FELLAS! ALL THAT WOOD CANDY! THE POSSIBILLITES ARE ENDLESS! CONTINUE TO MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN AND CHARLIE IS ADORABLE!! WE WANT TO SEE MORE OF CHARLIE TOO!
Dylan, so excited that we have our maple burl slab already picked out from this rare log. We cannot wait to have you make it into a conference table for our new office/warehouse building!!
The unexperienced eye is going to look at that maple burl and think, "That is complete trash." Anyone with even an inkling of experience with wood knows that much burl is a freaking gold mine. I can't wait to see what you guys do with it.
There was a huge piece of maple burl washed up at a marina near me and I wish I had a way to get it and process it so bad, it could be gone by now but it was such a nice piece just waaay too big to move by hand, prolly a few thousand pounds at least. Was telling the people I was with how it's easily a $10k+ piece of wood once it's all processed and they had no idea they thought it was just a regular hunk of wood
That place was like all your Christmases come at once. My fingers itched to touch n run fingers over the wood, my nose wanted to smell the wood as my eyes drank in the raw beauty. Whatever you make will be awesome. Love Charlie he has the same name as my last dog that I still miss.
Great as always! Quite amazing to see some of those chunks of wood. Once in a lifetime for sure. Just like seeing some of the old trees my Grandpa used to cut down with a few people helping.
I can kind of understand why you guys are so successful, you are so appreciative of your partners and dont hold back back on compliments. Thank you for the lesson. 👍
Oh wow what a show!!!! I’m at a lose for words. So much inventory. So much unique,unusual,one of a kind, beautiful lumber. But what really blows me away is there’s a football field of it. Just a once in a life time experience. I’d put it up there with when I went to the “Louvre.”
What a gorgeous maple tree, with some amazingly tall n' wide slabs coming from it. Even the smaller ones will make incredible furniture or other project. Just think how many homes that one tree will end up decorating for years! Not just for the people that commission the pieces, but for the next few generations that inherit the projects you guys build, Dylan
Awesome watching a bunch of guys geek out over a high capacity forklift that is smaller than the one I operated for 10 years at a lumber mill. I've seen those things tip over on to their forks by carrying too much weight, or stopping quickly with too much weight.
@@BlackForestWoodCo Oh yeah. I watched a friend tip over on to the forks, lose his load, then tipped back on the wheels. He was screaming so loud, I could hear him inside my cab (closed doors). When he tipped back, his lift bounced around on its wheels, and his doors flew off the hinges. Very chaotic
Wow! Fabulous slabs! Look forward to seeing what you do with them. You have inspired me to take the plunge at epoxy table making. Looks like I will have to get my resin and finish order ready for you guys. Love the content. Hey Charlie! 🦴🦴🦴
Charlie! You are one of the most adorable doggos in the world! What a good boy! Love the tour of the wood hoard! Wish I could afford something done by you all. Retirees usually don't have that kind of money! LOL Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
Hey Guys, Thank you so much for this . What an amazing place. It's a cabinetmakers wet dream. You have just made an old cabinetmaker very happy. It is always good to see all this rare and old timber being used and not dumped or chipped for particleboard. BFWC is an industry leader in making one off amazing furniture from some really great timbers and some more tours of the timber yard's would be great. Waitting for all this timber to season plus shipping and delivery, then deciding what to make with it. You really need a lot of patience !!! Thank you for the tour, if you need someone to carry the luggage next time, I could be available! heh heh. Cheers Michael.
13:09- I'd like to take a 2 inch plank off the top of each of that node's layers, cut ... three inches off of the back and mount them as shelves. Maybe against a wall, maybe on a larger upright slab of live edge. With a slab backing that set, you might as well put the other slabs from that node on the back. Double sided shelves. The three inch deep cut-offs might make good handles or small shelves.
This was a very enjoyable video. I love listening to you and your dad and others rattle off ideas for the different slabs. I can't wait to see the future furniture you will be making with these slabs. Thanks so much for sharing. Give Charlie a scratch behind the ear from me. lol
Hi there Charlie 😍💞 Wow - this was a beautiful display of wood! The burl is awesome. What potential, watching this is like being a kid in a candy store. Recovering from a work accident, this just brings a smile on my face. The second time I got a smile on my face in this clip - you guys brought Charlie to the camera . Great call ❤️ He is such a joy to watch. #keep_posting_Charlie 😃
Oh my wow!! That is the most amazing log and grain I've ever seen. The only thing that even begins to compare is matumi. I wish I could afford even just a small slab from that log. I always wonder how you guys find some of the stuff that you do. Great find!!!! I wish you guys put out a new video everyday.
What a treasure trove. I'm gonna redo my master bath one of the years and the dual sink counter top will be a nice slab. I want to find a slab that has a natural sharp 135deg bend for the shape of the room and I've noticed that Monterey Cypress has that going for it which is a local tree here on the Cali central coast. I bet I can get the perfect piece locally but I've seen cypress slabs stacked and dried and unfortunately seems to crack up too much. I wonder if it needs a specific drying procedure to keep that species of wood from spitting.
Wow thanks sooo much for this video! I have cam from black tail talk about these guys and this place is crazy cool !I would love to have a collection like this! These trees are amazing! Its to bad it takes so long to cure, but defiantly worth the wait !
Do you guys run across any Bog Oak? Do you ever do any furniture with it. I understand that they can sometimes get as old as 500 to 1000 years old . Buried at river bottoms and Bogs. Black wood thats very hard, but also very beautiful.
No need to feel like that, quality is the most important aspect! It doesn't matter if it's a coffee table or a conference table! We would love to build you a dining table though!
" Imagination Has No Boundaries " stunning , nature is unique . If money has no limit and you found again one of a kind slab, what would be your ultimate build/project/custom you like to build ?
Charlie, glad you allowed your humans to show the rest of us how they go about procuring wood for wonderful projects. As always, a fantastic video! Glad you were able to source the tree that was processed, as well as being able to pick up other slabs for future projects. Thanks for another great effort!
That burl makes me think you should do a collab with Blake McFarland of BM Sculptures. You make the table base and he does the sculpture. Love your projects!
I'm a master cabinetmaker...and facetiously...I got a hardon just from the "preview pic" of the damn log. I could build one hell of a beautiful table from this sucker. You guys do some very cool work. but as a cabinetmaker who doesn't do epoxy...I could build a bitchin' table out of this thing. Now on to the show! Will add my thoughts on your build after I watch the video...everything said so far is BEFORE seeing your video!
man i would love a table from you guys, just a really nice 3.5'-4' x 8' table out of either Bubinga, American Cherry, or Brazilian Rosewood. though i know for a fact i don't have the money to afford you guys
You can definitely tell those forklift operators have lifted just a few slabs like that. They are going to be pretty when they are done, but that wait!!! 😢😢 But better safe than end up like blacktail and have a ruined slab.
I know what you guys are thinking, “where’s Mitch?“ I’m sorry to keep my fans waiting. I just had a baby boy and I have been too busy showing him all of my favorite Brad moments. His first words shall be “Laser Brad”
Wow, congratulations Mitch!! Hahaha, those will be the perfect first words, I hope you get that on video
SDN.BHD..
That inventory is unbelievable!!! I wouldn't want to leave without half of it. I would just stand it all up and look at it.
That’s exactly how we felt! It’s hard on the bank account for sure 🤣
BEAUTIFUL TRIP FELLAS! ALL THAT WOOD CANDY! THE POSSIBILLITES ARE ENDLESS! CONTINUE TO MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN AND CHARLIE IS ADORABLE!! WE WANT TO SEE MORE OF CHARLIE TOO!
We'll show more Charlie!
Dylan, so excited that we have our maple burl slab already picked out from this rare log. We cannot wait to have you make it into a conference table for our new office/warehouse building!!
It's going to be amazing! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

We are so anxious to start working on them!!

Awesome shopping trip. A "Wood workers" Dream. Thank You! Hi Charlie, you are looking as Great as ever!
So amazing. Wow the slabs coming your way in another year. Beautiful. I'm sure your heads spinning with new creations in mind.
Congratulations
That place was like all your Christmases come at once. My fingers itched to touch n run fingers over the wood, my nose wanted to smell the wood as my eyes drank in the raw beauty. Whatever you make will be awesome. Love Charlie he has the same name as my last dog that I still miss.
Charlie is a cool cute adorable doggie! Hugs, Charlie!
Agreed! He says thank you!

2 years!!! I hope I live long enough to see what you make out of this!! Awesome!!!
Thank you Doug! Most of the waiting is done now! It’s likely going in the next kiln load and we’ll have our hands on it this year!
Was thinking the same thing, I'm at that age where people are starting to drop around me, I can't be sure I'll make 2 years. 😅
timber nerds in heaven, love it

Hi Charlie, great to see you.
Wow!! The size of those cuts. The tree must have been amazing.
I know! I can only imagine what it looked like standing.
Unfortunately it had begun to rot from the inside like most big maples do
Charlie Rocks.... Those slabs was so amazing, beautiful wood.
Wow, waiting 2 1/2yrs to finally get the wood back, thats insane!
Awesome watching a bunch of guys geek out over a high capacity forklift that is smaller than the one I operated for 10 years at a lumber mill. I've seen those things tip over on to their forks by carrying too much weight, or stopping quickly with too much weight.
That would sure be scary having one of those beasts tip over
@@BlackForestWoodCo Oh yeah. I watched a friend tip over on to the forks, lose his load, then tipped back on the wheels. He was screaming so loud, I could hear him inside my cab (closed doors).

I remember watching your visit there. October 2019 . Beautiful wood.
Yes!
Thank you for following along all of this time 😊
Beautiful wood ❤thanks for sharing… good to see Charlie taking a break from running the shop. 😊
Thank you Maddie 😁

That’s what I like to hear!! Thank you!
Beautiful wood. I would be geeking out!
If I need a table in 20 yrs.... you're my guys!! Love ur work, all kidding aside.
Charlie is adorable and your work is incredible ❤
Thank you very much!!
Charlie! You are one of the most adorable doggos in the world! What a good boy! Love the tour of the wood hoard! Wish I could afford something done by you all. Retirees usually don't have that kind of money! LOL Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
Thanks so much! Well we luckily do giveaways every once in awhile too! So maybe you'll win something from us in the future!
Amazing slabs. Hi Charlie. Missed you little guy. When we sell Manhattan apartment and move to 5000 sq’ house I’m coming up to visit.
I can see some gorgeous bowls out of the burl caps. Amazing wood there.
Lol you guys are like kids in a candy store but there are some majestic pieces there. Can't wait to see what you do with what you've purchased.
Haha w really were! We can't wait either!
Welcome back Charlie - you're such a good boy!!
Nice to see Hyster-Yale forklifts that are manufactured here in Greenville, NC. Loving all the wood too.

Hey Charlies - woof woof ! Good boy !! Now time for some ice cream !
🐶😅
Wow those slabs are bad a$$! Oh my gosh gorgeous.
I know right!
Wow just amazing couldn’t imagine buying slabs like that it’s got to be crazy cool. Can’t wait to see what you guys make with them. HI Charlie 👋
We can't wait to see either! Thanks Jim!
Enjoyed the video. Good to see an appearance by Charlie.
Thanks John!
Love listening to the Canadian accents! Charlie is a nice addition to the video. 😉

This is a great video on buying slabs and cost involved!!
How do you price you tables?
Would love to see how you go about doing that
A bad addiction is an understatement 😂😂😂 but what an awesome addiction!! Wood is the most beautiful thing ❤❤
It’s like watching a documentary about prehistoric nature

Hi there Charlie 😍💞

What potential, watching this is like being a kid in a candy store.
Recovering from a work accident, this just brings a smile on my face.

He is such a joy to watch.
#keep_posting_Charlie 😃
we love you Charly
Charlie! his appeareance was the best surprise in the end.
Went to your site the other day just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.
So much wood! I couldn’t imagine seeing all these slabs, incredible. My reaction would be what yours is lol!
It’s like sensory overload spending a day there!!
if i won the lottery, i would build a house, around one of your biggest tables hands down.
We would love that haha!
Wood nerds are my favorite
Insane is all I can say 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 and the aroma had to perk up your nostrils around all those different types of fresh cut slabs 🤣❤️
It sure did!
Oh my wow!! That is the most amazing log and grain I've ever seen. The only thing that even begins to compare is matumi. I wish I could afford even just a small slab from that log. I always wonder how you guys find some of the stuff that you do. Great find!!!! I wish you guys put out a new video everyday.
What a treasure trove. I'm gonna redo my master bath one of the years and the dual sink counter top will be a nice slab.

I wonder if it needs a specific drying procedure to keep that species of wood from spitting.
That’s a score of a lifetime for sure!!
Definitely!
can you make big modern pivot door with wood like that with epoxy?
Wow! Even if that didn’t have any burl on it, it would still be some amazing slabs. Factor in the burl and the insane factor goes 10x. Incredible.
Wow thanks sooo much for this video! I have cam from black tail talk about these guys and this place is crazy cool !I would love to have a collection like this! These trees are amazing! Its to bad it takes so long to cure, but defiantly worth the wait !
The wood is stunning but Charlie is the star.
He always is!
10:39 that looks like a big angry bear…..wow.
And sorry Charlie, you should always get a special mention. G’day mate 🐶
My fav channel on UA-cam 😊
That means a lot!! Thank you 😊
Love, all of it, if I had a house big enough.
the footage around 14:50 +/- 1 min is woodwork porn. i mean the whole video would make any wood worker drool. brings a tear to the eye.
You guys were like kids in a candy store in there. Great stuff 👍
Do you guys run across any Bog Oak? Do you ever do any furniture with it. I understand that they can sometimes get as old as 500 to 1000 years old . Buried at river bottoms and Bogs. Black wood thats very hard, but also very beautiful.
I am confused. Those slaps that are stored in the rain - do they still need years of drying again ?
Maybe the one on top will need some additional drying, but typically they are not stored outside long term. It also usually rarely rains in LA
Gorgeous wood! Geeking out with you
Haha we appreciate that!
Absolutely amazing. I make coffee tables. Feeling a little inadequate now. One day I think I may ask you to make a dining table.
No need to feel like that, quality is the most important aspect! It doesn't matter if it's a coffee table or a conference table!
We would love to build you a dining table though!
why do they leave wood to dry outdoors in the rain? seems like that wouldnt work?
That place is something else
it really is!
beautiful wood for sure.
Me thinking how many pens I can make with all that burl. River pens, of course!
I just did the math, you could get roughly 142,500 pen blanks from this log 🤓
@@BlackForestWoodCo You didn't account for casting the live edges. 160,000 at least. 😁😁
I can’t stop laughing about the “Cam build a table and used our ceramic” 😂😂
Fabulous..hi Charlie🐾💕🎈
Charlie says hi Josie!
You guys are so funny, Indiana Jones never found a better treasure than what you found at GL Veneer. I know I'd be slobbering over every slab too.
" Imagination Has No Boundaries " stunning , nature is unique . If money has no limit and you found again one of a kind slab, what would be your ultimate build/project/custom you like to build ?
Yay, Charlie!
🐶
Let's give Charlie some love!
🐶🐶🐶
Looking forward to seeing what you make out of all this stuff. Sure to be good!
We’ve got one client down in Mexico so far who wants to do a 14’ dining table!
how much would a slab like this cost in case i missed them saying it
Jfc those slabs are UNREAL
I know! We cannot wait to get our hands on them and starting building things
@@BlackForestWoodCo I would come work for you guys for free just to work on slabs like that! Lol
Charlie...... You're gorgeous! And yes, you should be featured more.

That would be incredible! I’ve seen his work
Time to clean up the drool 😂T-Rex Burl 🫠
By the way Dylan, how much did you guys spend this trip To to G.L Veneer.
Hold the fort Charlie 💖🙋♀️🇨🇱
Well you can make a lot of doors from that wood
Yup! Haha
let's make something even more beautiful out of it :)

Green or white ?
Green or white what??
@@BlackForestWoodCo It was a pure random question :))

Hope you enjoyed!
Some of those smaller chunks could make some very expensive guitar tops.
Do you remember your first day, when you installed a door ? How did you learn back then ?
