Mike you, like me, are not a plumber, carpet installer, roofer, siding specialist, electrician, drywaller, or hunter, you are a wood craftsman genius. Brilliant!!
Overload is a Great word to describe two videos! It was another awesome presentation of your talent but when you cut the edges off and held them up and looked at them, I could see the Future in the way you just glanced at them. Future creations. My favorite part of this video is when I saw you with cloth in hand standing over the table. Then it happened.....The MAGIC!!! Beautiful!
I thought for sure I'd have to wait til next week to see this, but you surprised us, two in the same day. I really like the rustic look, should look really good in the cabin!
Attaboy good job! Absolutely beautiful, nice piece of heirloom furniture. I have furniture my great great grandfather made from a fallen walnut tree in his front yard.
Hey Mike. I think you made all the right decisions on the table. I really like the way it came out. You and Sarah are the only opinions that truly matter in the end. If y'all like it; it's fine. If y'all don't, it's time to change it.
Oh my goodness, the table came out beautiful. A natural beauty. The pattern is amazing and the prettiest piece I've ever seen. Your work is perfection Mike. It will look fantastic in the Cabin.
Mike!! What a great job on the table! It’s absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see it in the cabin! Merry Christmas to you and your family from Marysville, Ohio!
That is one magnificent table. You have outdone yourself Nike. By all means leave it thick. It makes for a more rustic natural appearance instead of a commercial manufactured look. Sarah will be so happy with this Christmas present 🎁
#newdaytonworkshop the top is incredible! When you applied the finish the grain just exploded out! Beautiful piece Mike! And, I learned a few things from this. Thank you
Dude! That table is absolutely amazing! If you think the top is too thick bevel the bottom back to make it appear thinner, but I think it is PERFECT just the way it is, amazing design. Nice work.
Beautiful slab of book matched maple. It can be difficult to waste wood but when I learned to use the best parts I was happier with the end result. There is always a price to pay for the best it can be. I thought the table was beautiful and look forward to seeing it in the cabin. I dig your channel.
The most important thing is getting the backs nice and flat. Once you have a good edge on the front you can keep them sharp with only a leather strop and some paste.
Mike and Sarah, we made your whiskey sours last night. Robert said it was the best one he has ever had. My son loved it too. He said it might be his new drink of choice! Thanks for the recipe 🥃
Doesn't rustic cabin and thick old wood compliment each other!? Made to last and mother nature will do her best to keep that from happening. Look at it like a war and you just took advantage of the shock and awe against your opponents raw power! Breathtaking may not even be the best word but when you can sit there eating your over easy eggs and stare at what you made, then lose yourself admiring the mirrored effects of the spalting and grains,,, PRICELESS!
This. Is. Gorgeous. you'll never know what it could have been and its really hard to really envision what it will look like unless you do this for a living day in day out and have hundreds of experience points to go from and then still its subjective. What i do know is generally when doing ones own work we are very likely our own worst critics.
I'm no expert, & despite your own critiquing on what you could have or should have done, I think you did a wonderful job, and I think it looks beautiful!! In my opinion, it's perfect & you're a great craftsman/artist! Sending Christmas blessings your way from Virginia!
The Spalted Maple is amazingly beautiful. Wormy Soft Maple might be a good choice for the cabinet doors. Excellent job man! Absolutely love your channel.
The first word that comes to mind is 'wow'. What a stunning slab. Love the design of the table. The simple clean lines let the slab be the focus of attention. This is going to look amazing in the cabin. The sliding dovetail used to join the two elements is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing your project with us. Best wishes to you and your family for xmas.
I love the thickness of the slab. It is a beautiful table. So beautiful. Happy Christmas to you and Sarah and the rest of your family. Sending my love from Australia xxx
Gorgeous table Mike!! I'm glad you didn't go with the epoxy river top. You are always your hardest critic.
Thanks 👍
Mike you, like me, are not a plumber, carpet installer, roofer, siding specialist, electrician, drywaller, or hunter, you are a wood craftsman genius. Brilliant!!
2 vidéos ! It's Xmas. Thank you Mike
Two-fer Saturday!

It's really breathtaking wood isn't it! I couldn't not believe when I first saw it after surfacing.
I think you did a wonderful job on the table. It looks beautiful. Don't sell yourself short. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much Phil!
Well now, there is some lovely Carbon Sequestration.
Comment of the year!
Watch your language! There are Children present! lol
The grains in that table top though, wow!
I thought for sure I'd have to wait til next week to see this, but you surprised us, two in the same day. I really like the rustic look, should look really good in the cabin!
lol as much as this might surprise people, I hate unfinished projects!
All I could do was sit here with my mouth hanging open that wood is so gorgeous and you made a beautiful table out of it. WOW
Love the wood you picked. The table is beautiful!!
Thanks so much!
Perhaps your finest build yet! Good job.
Wow, thanks!
Beautiful table and I love the character in the wood. Another amazing piece.
Thank you so much 😀
My Grandpa was a Carpenter and retired at 70 he made wonderful stuff and your table reminded me of him.. Great work!
Beautiful material! Nice craftsmanship!
Glad you like it!
You my friend are genius 👏
I like chunky, that table is beautiful. MERRY CHRISTMAS TOO YOU ,SARAH AND BEATRICE. 🎅🤶
Thank you! You too!
What a lovely table. 😊
Attaboy good job! Absolutely beautiful, nice piece of heirloom furniture. I have furniture my great great grandfather made from a fallen walnut tree in his front yard.
Very cool! We have some family furniture as well, passed down from my great Aunt!
The close up of the grain is beautiful
The idea of inserting the trestle into the top is slick. Well done!!
Thanks I like doing it like that, it allows for plenty of seasonal wood movement.
Looks rather magnificent to me....beautiful!
Great looking table.
Thanks!
Don't overthink it. It's just exquisite! I would love to have that table. You did it justice.
I would not change a thing, That is beautiful
Mike, it is perfect! One of the more beautiful tables I have ever seen. Good job, again!
Well I'm no master craftsman like you but I think you done s great job🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
Thank you Terry
WOW! beautiful work!
anyone else think it looks like a seal face from above? nice
How absolutely wonderful! You are quite the craftsman, Mike!
Thank you Virginia
That table is a work of art!
Beautiful wood and beautiful table. Gods blessings to you and your family and for sure Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks Sandra, same to you!

Marry Chrimas and a Happy Nieuwjear Greating from the Netherlands
It would be so easy and pleasant to get lost staring at the veins and clouds of the table top. I'm sure your work will be enjoyed for years to come.
,,WOW !!! that turned out out just great, fits right in place in the cabin..stay safe and have a good Christmas...
Thanks, you too Bob!
BEAUTIFUL! I LIKE THE PROPORTIONS.GREAT JOB!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MIKE AND SARAH !!!!!!
Merry Christmas to you too Tomm
Beautiful. The spalting is incredible - better that you enjoy it rather than the woodpeckers. Old dead wood has a lot to offer.
Oh my goodness, the table came out beautiful. A natural beauty. The pattern is amazing and the prettiest piece I've ever seen. Your work is perfection Mike. It will look fantastic in the Cabin.
Such a beautiful table for your peaceful cabin. Happy Holidays!
It turned out beautiful, it's just awesome that so many of the features at the cabin were handmade by you and not bought in some store. Love it.
Beautiful work!! You came up with a great design. I don't think it looks too thick.👍👍
Mike!! What a great job on the table! It’s absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to see it in the cabin! Merry Christmas to you and your family from Marysville, Ohio!
Thank you Doug, same to you!
I’m beginning to think you are a professional carpenter. You do some amazing work!
All your choices show not just craftsmanship and quality, but you also have a really good eye for design. Enjoying the channel!
Mike it should go up on your wall, it's Art work. Beautiful.
Wow, unmatched beauty. Nature is truly amazing and your skills match. I know you are a humble man but I think you did it justice.
The table looks amazing, love the look.
Thanks so much!
The wood is beautiful! You really do an amazing job! Beautiful!
That is one magnificent table. You have outdone yourself Nike.
By all means leave it thick. It makes for a more rustic natural appearance instead of a commercial manufactured look.
Sarah will be so happy with this Christmas present 🎁
Wood is spectaculair, and so is your craftsmanship. Proportions are excellent (not bulky at all).
I think you did that slab plenty of justice. Beautiful.
#newdaytonworkshop the top is incredible! When you applied the finish the grain just exploded out! Beautiful piece Mike! And, I learned a few things from this. Thank you
Dude! That table is absolutely amazing! If you think the top is too thick bevel the bottom back to make it appear thinner, but I think it is PERFECT just the way it is, amazing design. Nice work.
Amazing!
Thanks!
No second guessing: only enjoying this fine piece of art. JOY to your world!
Maple has a special way of hiding all of its character until you put finish on it. Then it knocks you out!
Such a beautiful table... Don't over evaluate what you made...It's perfect... Nice job friend..
Amazing; you find a way to add character to all you build; nothing is generic
Beautiful slab of book matched maple. It can be difficult to waste wood but when I learned to use the best parts I was happier with the end result.

Beautiful table, i wouldnt change anything.
Thank you!
Liked the video, loved the table!
Glad you liked it!
All I can say is wow, what a nice piece, it kinda reminds me of a topography map! Thank you
Watching you do these projects is amazing. The care you take to keep tools sharp...Makes me think that mine are due for a tune up. Great job.
The most important thing is getting the backs nice and flat. Once you have a good edge on the front you can keep them sharp with only a leather strop and some paste.
Gorgeous. I prefer it to the Ishtani actually. That spalted maple is gorgeous and I love the little detail on the legs
Yap that's the look! Again great attention to detail. Will look awesome in the cabin. Thanks for sharing again. Have a merry holidays.
Gorgeous wood and turned into a wonderful table. Stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep warm and dry.
Mike and Sarah, we made your whiskey sours last night. Robert said it was the best one he has ever had. My son loved it too. He said it might be his new drink of choice! Thanks for the recipe 🥃
It's so good isn't it! I was amazed.
I LOVE IT, AND
It is NOT too thick.. its better this way imo.
Happy for you!
Beautiful craftsmanship!!
You really got the skills man! Beautiful work!
Thanks Eduardo
That is a beautiful table. The whole design is clean and simple. Nice work.
Hey Doug thanks for checking out my channel, let me know when you want to meet up to talk about cameras etc.

You’re wood working skills are very impressive!
You have done a really nice job on this. Don't be hard on yourself it is a beauty.
Absolutely stunning, Mike. Another great addition to your cabin.
Absolutely stunning Mike! The grain in the table top is just beautiful.
Who the neck would give this a thumb down his work is fantastic
Every video always gets 15 - 20 thumbs down, not sure why.
Mike, it's beautiful! Certainly will be the show stealer in the cabin!
Thanks Sydney
