Walnut. Beautiful. I think the recessed leg mounting adds a level of detail which makes the overall feel and look of the table stand out as higher level. This definitely does not indicate rush jobs or bad design.
Hi there I'm an electrical engineer in England and I just like to watch a fellow crafts man at work and I'm in awe with your work. I do think that sinking the metal work mack's the difference in looks and I've cliped my shoulders a few times when cralling under a desk or table so thanks for going the extra mile.
First class Cam... recess the legs for sure... taking the time to recess the hardware shows you really care about your work and every detail of it... whomever gets one of your pieces knows you are a true Artisan!
The fact that you did the extra work speaks how much pride you take in your work. Nothing is ever perfect but doing the best you can even on areas that no one will ever see is the way a craftsman continues to develop their skill set. It also sets a example for newer makers and gives them something to shoot for. I know seeing your attention to detail and willingness to spend a few extra hours makes me want to do better on my next project. Just found your channel looking forward to seeing what else you have in the library.
Teak Wood is one of my favorites. Great stuff as always, and you reminded me how much I suck at fractions...3/4 - 1/8 + 1/2...turn it back an 1/8...?? My dining table is now a door....
I associated this method to my own trade that might seem completely different.. I like to build software that is dynamic, taking possible changes into account (expansion and contraction of the wood), instead of making everything static in the code (screwing legs into place). It's harder but totally worth it in the long run! So I like that your bolting method is dynamic in this sense :)
Chestnut, teak. Your extra work pays off. It makes the table stand out from the crown and make you, as a woodworker, stand out from the crowd. You are at the top end of the business.
Hickory/Walnut The counter sunk legs, c-channel and threaded inserts really shows a fantastic level of detail and professionalism that sets you apart from the crowd. Love the table!
Black Walnut but just found Lantis(tree of heaven) and I'm starting to like it. What is the purpose of the C-channel? Also great work on that table. Love it!
Thanks Bill! The C channels helps keep the top flat. They won’t fix improperly dried wood, or big twisted slabs. The maker of the c channels says “they negotiate with the slab to keep it flat.”
Ok I’m so happy to see I’m not the only one that didn’t know what the C-Channel was for! Thank goodness! 😂😂! Beautiful table! Love the work and yes recessing the legs was a great touch! Amazing work brother! Keep up the great work and videos!
sorry I am late with this comment but the tree of heaven is a horrendous weed. It is an invasive species that is very difficult to control and spreads like wild fire. We have several acres of the tree. Every tree that is of any size, say 8" across, is hollow. The tree if cut will send up shoots from all the roots. Treating the stump has been somewhat effective. It is a dangerous tree to fell, being hollow it tends to barber chair. Please do not plant this tree. It is native to China and not North America.
Absolutely not overkill. It was a great lesson on how to properly attach legs to a slab table as well as helping it avoid cracking by use of C channels. Thank you for yet another great video.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
I received a pallet of Katalox off cuts for free, which has a beautiful range of Burgundy to purple and yellow to white pulpwood. So since it was free is now my new favorite wood to work with. Great videos, Straight to the point full of information and no fluff, can’t stand a half hour of fluff to get to two minutes of information. Keep up the beautiful and great craftsmanship.
He :) cool job there, love how you took that extra trouble to make sure it lasts and lasts - favourite wood is Tasmanian Blackwood, Our Aussie version of Black Walnut in some ways.
Hi Cam - The threaded inserts you recommend are a bit over .5”, but the furniture screws are over 1”. How are you dealing with the extra length of the screw? Since the threaded inserts have no stop point, are you actually drilling the hole for them as deep as the furniture screw is long, rather than the threaded insert’s length?
You are an inspiration my friend. Nothing you did on this table was overkill. Quality in the things unseen is what makes a true craftsman in my opinion.
No. He didn't. He used inserts. And then bolted (not screwed). This makes it more durable and, if need be, you could remove the legs easily and reattatch them without the wood suffering from the screwing and re-screwing. :)
Walnut, no, Oak, wait, Ash! So many species, so little time. Love the table and, for what it's worth, I think that the C-channels and the leg hardware really set it off. I've done intricate stuff under an oak live-edge desk. Nobody can see it - but I know it's there, and that is satisfying to me. Thanks for the content - which I find inspirational, informative and entertaining.
Cherry. Recessing the legs and c-channel gives it a finished look and feel. Less likely to bang up your fingers when reaching underneath with a dust.cloth. Gorgeous table.
Black walnut because of contrasts of sapwood but also love spalted maple and mapa burl which I have yet to use but want try in a river table. Love your craftsmanship and willingness to share. Please don’t stop.
Really nice work man and I do appreciate you getting to the point so many like you pointed out and the sort of a way I think they just like to hear themselves talk and they probably watch their video over and over and over as a journeyman woodworker boat builder I appreciate the fact that you don't take an hour and a half get to the point Thank you again brother!
Cam. I watched to the very end and will seal the top. Thanks for all your help. I keep watching to pick up more hints before I finish the table top I am working on. The 83 guy.
Black walnut. I love the resets, think they look very professional and smooth. I've built a few tables in my day, but nothing like yours there. Truly amazing.
Cam, etc. watched may of your pieces and appreciate both what you have accomplished and what I think you have learned as you progressed. I will say that when I make comparable pieces I don’t drill into the stock, I glue wood in a manner that supports the wood movement without splitting of the wood, so that the wood bases I make can be attached and removed without damaging the top piece. I think larger pieces will become exponentially harder to find in the coming decades and want to make sure that what I make can be used again
If you record your craft like this man no matter what it is it will speak volumes of how you work and how much detail you put in your art. Kudos to you sir.! Wish I could order a table but I am from Costa Rica, but I amazed by the production quality.
I think at the level of the table , just the cost of the slab alone warrants the extra touch of recessing the table legs. I am a new subscriber and so happy I found your channel. Great content and I have already learned about products I didn’t know about. Thank you 🙏🏻
I'm a newbie woodworker so I dont know enough to have a favorite wood species yet - but I do know your work is way over the top and showcases for all of us what quality workmanship is and how it's what we all should aim for. Thank you sir for showing us the right way to do quality workmanship.
I think mounting the legs that way makes it look real professional. Taking the time to do that would impress me if I were buying it. I'm a retired pipefitter welder, and that shows craftsmanship good job nice work.
I have saved this video & will be looking into using these legs & hardware on my next table project. I like working with allot of the north eastern U.S woods. I have recently bought some old growth cypress timbers & it is some of the most beautiful wood I have ever worked with.
Cocobolo. IMHO, recessing the legs and C-channel just increases the perceived quality. Shows attention to detail and pride of ownership on your part. Good work!
Poplar! I am new and still only And occasional woodworker. But I love look of my poor man’s exotic wood. I think your videos are excellent please keep them coming
Walnut. Thank you for providing excellent tips and links. As a *very* amateur woodworker, I appreciate the explanations for your choices and an example of a professional-level piece.
Not only does the fastening system allow for that very expensive piece of wood to expand without cracking, but the low profile fastening heads on the bolts to me, are the best. As the tall guy in the room, I often encounter the sharp edges under the table and I can appreciate how "comfortable" the underside of that table is.
New guinea rosewood and no the inserts and bolts that you use just show that you are a real craftsman who wants to do a complete professorial job well done.
Oh, and good ol' black walnut is my fave to work with, but any gorgeous burl is fantastic! And yes, the extra work for the recessed legs is 100% worth it.
Love the recessed design! I made my slab out of Texas pecan. My favorite! Making some ad-hoc table tops for my daughters wedding now. Gift table and cake table using old cedar fence pickets as the top. Have them screwed to some OSB and will use threaded inserts to attach custom cedar leg posts cut from our land. Prob have to use a wood block screwed to the OSB to hold the leg.
Your work is amazing. I am just starting to get into making live edge tables. I am not a professional but just a guy who likes to do this. I have learned a ton by watching you.
Black walnut, and thanks for making this! It saved me from making some bad and wrong choices for installing my steel legs to my custom made tabletop. I LOVE that you did the recessed legs, but it is intimidating to me to attempt it...at this point in my experience! ;)
This is going to sound weird but my favorite is whichever fits the project I'm working on. I have the design in my head and I go around smelling, feeling, and looking at grain lines. I love the clean lines for underneath the table that the recesses give! Definitely worth the extra effort! Thanks for another great video! I am learning so much from you!
Don’t yet have a favorite species of wood - as a beginner. But recessing those legs and C-Channels made the look of the table from underneath so much cleaner. As someone who is detail oriented I would look at that and think the recessing really helps show the difference between a beginner and a professional craftsman. Great job, I subbed!
Birdseye maple. Perfect timing, putting new legs on my desk. Love your method, Clean look, strong, easy looks sharp. May have to but the same legs if I don't make my own wood legs, but may use your attachment method...
I dig your new jig👍🏻my soc sec check won’t allow me to purchase, but when my daughters ask what I want for Christmas, #1 air compressor, #2 your AWSOME jig for bow tie joints!, and a router of course! Sandblaster, and air hose.Then , I’ll CREATE SOME EPIC PROJECTS! Thanks so much for the tutorials 😎
Pine, yes I said it. Cheap easy to use. I also like the color of poplar. I don't have the equipment to mill boards, or I might find others. Love your work.
thank you so much, i build my own computer desk because i needed one, i wish i saw your videos before i did it, i didnt use self threaded inserts but normal screws, your videos will help me in my future wood projects thank you.
Walnut. Thanks for all these"tips"! I am currently making a table and I really appreciate all the processes you explain so well, I am using a lot of your stuff. But I think the most valuable advice you share is how to handle mistakes and the fact that they happen. I may have given up on this table if I didn't have that perspective and almost expectation of it not all being perfect. Thanks man.
I don't know why I'm telling you what my favourite type of wood is cos i don't even know what it is but great work! That table looks fit to be sold at a luxury retailer, and i mean that as a compliment!
I'd have to go with curly or birds eye maple. Just a gorgeous looking figure. Also yes recessing the C chanel and leg mounting plate looks amazing. Very professional look!
Mahogany. This is very timely, was just about to attach a lift top mechanism, for a bit heavier top than usual. I think I'll recess it this time, with some threaded inserts. That looks dope. Good job 👌
Walnut Any walnut or Mahogany. . Well done. I’m a window and door installer and we use those same threaded inserts on the door jambs for the inside hinge screws. Has worked out great for us
Oak. Why did you add the c-channel? To Strengthen the table?
Good question! It helps keep the slab flat. Doesn’t fix big twists, but negotiates with it to keep it a little more flat.
Koa, the others answered my question...nice video !
Walnut!
Oak
Tasmanian Sassafras(Atherosperma moschatum)
The smell is amazing
Walnut. Beautiful. I think the recessed leg mounting adds a level of detail which makes the overall feel and look of the table stand out as higher level. This definitely does not indicate rush jobs or bad design.
I feel the extra effort shows respect for the large slab of wood that you were working with
I agree completely with the above comment.
Hi there I'm an electrical engineer in England and I just like to watch a fellow crafts man at work and I'm in awe with your work. I do think that sinking the metal work mack's the difference in looks and I've cliped my shoulders a few times when cralling under a desk or table so thanks for going the extra mile.
English Oak. The attention to detail of recessing the legs is definitely worth the effort. A real masterpiece. Great videos, thanks.
Thanks!
First class Cam... recess the legs for sure... taking the time to recess the hardware shows you really care about your work and every detail of it... whomever gets one of your pieces knows you are a true Artisan!
Thanks Kevin!
I’m too amateur to have a favorite species of wood, but those recessed legs really made the table! It’s beautiful!
Thanks Bryon!
Me, three!
Right same thing here just starting to get some tools and making small projects. Just a noob looking to make beautiful things
@@BlacktailStudio Nice choice in legs, but in my opinion were proportioned too small to the size of the slab.
Quilted Maple:
The recessed base and c-channel are totally on target, Cameron. Nailed it.
Thanks mike!
I love quilted maple.
Looks like a silk sheet
I like the recessed legs and the reminder of not making the metal to wood TOO tight. I love walnut, hickory, and maple
Wow. Recessing the legs really took to the look and feel of the the workmanship to a higher level. Great work. Beautiful result. Cheers!
Thanks bud!
The attention to detail on the legs and other steel work lends an air of professionalism. Definitely worth the extra effort.
Purple Heart. This is the right way! The recessed legs look professional. Nice job !
Thanks Michael!
Maranti. Love the recess, shows attention and quality
Yeah if you lie under tables often
I read Martini.
The fact that you did the extra work speaks how much pride you take in your work.

2nd generation custom furniture builder here for 35 years and all I can say is that what you're doing is just sensational! 👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, thanks tony
Teak Wood is one of my favorites. Great stuff as always, and you reminded me how much I suck at fractions...3/4 - 1/8 + 1/2...turn it back an 1/8...?? My dining table is now a door....
😂😂
Convert to metric, its easier bro :)
Yeah, as a guy from Europe I didn't even try to follow that flood of fractions.
I associated this method to my own trade that might seem completely different.. I like to build software that is dynamic, taking possible changes into account (expansion and contraction of the wood), instead of making everything static in the code (screwing legs into place). It's harder but totally worth it in the long run! So I like that your bolting method is dynamic in this sense :)

@1:54 you missed the opportunity to write “subscribe” with the router 😀

You are at the top end of the business.
Wow, thanks so much!
Hickory/Walnut
The counter sunk legs, c-channel and threaded inserts really shows a fantastic level of detail and professionalism that sets you apart from the crowd. Love the table!
Thanks Tim!
Etimoe is my favorite so far, but not easy to come by in the US.
I missed the C-channel explanation. which video should I watch?
I’ll add a link
Yeah
It smells like pipe tobacco when you make shavings .
Black Walnut but just found Lantis(tree of heaven) and I'm starting to like it. What is the purpose of the C-channel? Also great work on that table. Love it!
Thanks Bill! The C channels helps keep the top flat. They won’t fix improperly dried wood, or big twisted slabs. The maker of the c channels says “they negotiate with the slab to keep it flat.”
Bill and I agree - black walnut is my fave. And he also asked about the c channel...great minds think alike?

I’d love to try some of that
Hi Cam - The threaded inserts you recommend are a bit over .5”, but the furniture screws are over 1”. How are you dealing with the extra length of the screw? Since the threaded inserts have no stop point, are you actually drilling the hole for them as deep as the furniture screw is long, rather than the threaded insert’s length?
Same question. Did Jamie ever get a response?
Just go to Amazon and order the 1/4 20 X 20 mm . Those will fit perfect with a 1/4 plate.
Woodglut is nice for that.
Nice
@@BlacktailStudio Definetely YES
What's woodglut? Is that woodglue same thing
You are an inspiration my friend. Nothing you did on this table was overkill. Quality in the things unseen is what makes a true craftsman in my opinion.
Thanks Andrew!
Honduran mahogany, and recessing is how you tell craftsmen from hacks. That and accommodation in design for wood movement. Another good video.
Quit Screwing. But he ended up screwing those screws to the table. Whats that C-channel again? You just made it complicated. 😜😂🤣😅😭
C channel is to secure against any potential cupping do to air quality. It’s a good idea when do slab work actually.
Cherry. Love the wood obviously but I think maybe more of a raw steel look on the hardware for that deep color.
Just a preference for me. 😁
No. He didn't. He used inserts. And then bolted (not screwed). This makes it more durable and, if need be, you could remove the legs easily and reattatch them without the wood suffering from the screwing and re-screwing. :)
Yes, but I did expect some Japanese type tounge an groove trick.
@@todologic I believe what they are saying is that the inserts are screwed into the table.

This is a great table build. I love tables made with quarter sawn white oak. I learned a lot from your video.
Hot damn! That table looks GREAT! I’ve been questioning whether or not a router would be worth it in my shop, and this video may have sold me on it.
Gotta have one
Not only does the fastening system allow for that very expensive piece of wood to expand without cracking, but the low profile fastening heads on the bolts to me, are the best. As the tall guy in the room, I often encounter the sharp edges under the table and I can appreciate how "comfortable" the underside of that table is.
You get it!
I like Ash, Oak, Cedar, Birch, Cherry, Pine, Even Tamarack, Walnut. All are favorites. Burning or building. All are a blessing to use.
Agreed!
Living in So Cal finding good hardwoods to work with is a chore. Always like the rich look of walnut. Bye, Great looking table! I’m a new sub.
Excellent, thanks Alan!
Black walnut....beautiful table, I the the recession of the legs and C channel, it keeps the focus on the wood and doesn't distract.
Thanks!
New guinea rosewood and no the inserts and bolts that you use just show that you are a real craftsman who wants to do a complete professorial job well done.

I've been working with wood for years. It's amazing how much I've learned from your short video.
Wow, thanks!
Drill bit as a centering mark was a lightbulb moment for me, that's awesome thanks!
Cheers!
The recessing is tippy top notch and so are the low profile black fasteners. It is a very professional looking aesthetic refinement.
Love the recessed design! I made my slab out of Texas pecan. My favorite! Making some ad-hoc table tops for my daughters wedding now. Gift table and cake table using old cedar fence pickets as the top. Have them screwed to some OSB and will use threaded inserts to attach custom cedar leg posts cut from our land. Prob have to use a wood block screwed to the OSB to hold the leg.
Nice!
Walnut: rich looking, so many grain variations and interesting patterns that create a sense of movement to the wood!
Thanks!!
Not overkill at all...true work and care of a craftsman. Thanks for sharing!!!
Cheers!
Your work is amazing. I am just starting to get into making live edge tables. I am not a professional but just a guy who likes to do this. I have learned a ton by watching you.

Awesome. Thanks man, and good luck!
Walnut . . . Beautiful table! Great description / demonstration of the C-Channel & leg installation.
Thanks Matt!
i find beauty in use and character of each species. love the extra support and attachment method
Thanks rich!
Walnut Any walnut or Mahogany. . Well done. I’m a window and door installer and we use those same threaded inserts on the door jambs for the inside hinge screws. Has worked out great for us
