Turkey. I really appreciate your honesty regarding money, sponsors etc. A lot of people beat around the bush saying they need likes to know you've enjoyed, but you're honest in saying it's to appease sponsors. I like that in a creator, the fact that you're honest with your audience.
Turkey! I just wanted to say that I love how transparent you are about sponsorship and affiliate links. It’s refreshing. I’ve seen a lot of creators that try to avoid the topic of making money from content. So, thank you for your honesty. It’s appreciated.
love the table, really good job with the bow ties. addressing the cracks question, my opinion would be to fill them with a super clear epoxy that way you bet the bonding from the epoxy and a clear view of the cracks (kind of best of both worlds) Keep up the amazing work you are doing.
Turkey! Turkey was the name of my doggy when I was 8! I think the natural form and cracks are what make wood special. Walnut, whether black or English, is the best, hands down. Doing what makes you feel alive, making art, creating, is the reason we’re here.
Turkey: I'd prefer the crack to be filled with epoxy, it's not only much easier to maintain (from any liquid spill or dust that will eventually start accumulating) but it will also make the piece stronger and in case there is an accidental hit or drop wouldn't break down.
Turkey... awesome name!! I used to work in the Log Cabin industry here in the UK. Wood is a natural product we told all our buyers.. if you don't like the natural properties of wood, buy something metal.. I love shakes, cracks, knots, grain, the smell of natural wood.. you keep making these videos Cam, we'll all keep watching and liking!!👍👍😼
I really enjoy your commentary. You are an excellent craftsman . I don't do well in that arena but remember seenig my grampa do woodworking projects in his basement. Watching you work brings back memories.
Loved the cracks under the table, they add a lot of character. However I would have liked to see the top of the table be filled in with epoxy. Love the videos btw, keep up the great work!
Hey Cam, those chain saw carving disks are the worst, most dangerous power carvers ever made, I'd stay away from them, I've seen them fly apart and do major damage to skin. Use the carbide carvers, much safer.
@Blacktail Studio stumpy nubs had a video sharing his injury with one of these disks around the time you posted this video. I'm glad I haven't seen more from this. Stay safe, homie.
Turkey! I love the stuff you do. Your videos are so well made and edited. Just curious if you're still power carving and what tools you've found to work the best.
Turkey. One of the guys from that renovation show with Ty Pennington chopped off two fingers with a chainsaw disc on a job site. They made him a host on a game show for a while, but I don’t know what all happened. Ed Sanders was the carpenter’s name
Turkey! What a cutie! I like the natural cracks in this piece. The bow ties are a nice accent too, even tho they are structurally needed. The finish and color turned out nicely, I was skeptical at first.
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
Turkey - Keep doing what you’re doing. Trying out new things is what makes people great within their own trade. Whether someone likes epoxy or not, that’s their own opinion. You are an artist working with wood 👍🏻
Turkey love this piece it’s got real life about it. The only thing I would say is that epoxy stops dust and dirt gathering in the cracks. I have learned this from clean freaks. Cheers John.
Turkey! Pro crack for sure!!! Love the piece!!!! And nice touch on the bow-ties on the top. Agree that the bottom ones should've had a darker shade of brown or black!!!
With the high moisture content still present, the wood probably will still shrink and the epoxy would loosen or separate.... perhaps if a year goes by first it could be done.
Turkey! I love how abstract this project was. It’s nice to see someone embracing this type of design and hopefully, in turn, making it more mainstream.
Dude. I have started stocking my new man cave workshop with wood working tools so I can start making items from logs. I’m finding your videos so so so helpful. Keep the videos rolling man. Love it
Turkey: Hi I am a woodworker beginner from New Zealand. I started watching your videos around 3 pm today and it is now 8 pm. I just have to say they all are fantastic I especially like the desk you made for your wife. I have liked and subscribed to your channel and look forward to more videos. Thank you for explaining all the methods you use in all your projects.
That was beautiful! I’ve never made a table well, but watching you is so inspiring! I want to make something as amazing as you do! Watching you work and hearing how much you care about every aspect of your work is inspiring.
Turkey, I find your works wonderfully inspiring, Thank you so much. This piece makes me feel it is the very first table ever created, like curated since 12,500 BCE. "Adam's Table"
Turkey. Great work as always. Glad to hear that kutzall makes great tools and seem to be great people too. I will be picking up a few bits for my dremel. Also really digging the planning sled you used. Great work as always!
Turkey! My husband got Mr hooked on your videos. I know nothing about woodworking, but I just love watching your pieces come to life! You are a true craftsman!
Turkey: I'm not crazy about the cracks. I'm new to your page but I've been spending hours watching you material. Please keep it up. With that hole in the center, did you consider a lamp base. Looks really cool.
Turkey. Love the table. Have you ever used super glue inside the cracks? I could go either way. Filling or not. Lovely finish! I would like to chat sometime about figured maple slabs, stumps and pcs. In my yard. Lcm. of GWW. Cheers!
Turkey: As I've said before, really like you're videos. For this, what I like best is your go for it attitude, but with tips and 'watch out for's' along the way. You don't put on airs, you don't say you're a know-it-all, which is really nice. Keep it up!
Turkey. I love that you left it alone. I am talking from a visual artist point of view. The other comments are true for the long run of this piece but I love the cracks and the natural aspect to it. You do what you do so well.
Kutzall are incredible. I bought their hand files and it’s literally faster to shape a complex blade handle than my grinder, and less of a PitA than sanding drum setups for hogging material. 10/10 surreal products
Turkey is so cute! Cool little table. I think the cracks really work here. I'd just put a glass top on it to keep dust, crumbs, etc., from accumulating in the cracks.
Turkey: love this little table. Excellent video presentation. I’ve watched more than a few of your videos on slab tables and I really appreciate the way you present the material. Keep up the good work and here’s to your continued success. Agreed with some other commenters. I like filled cracks better. But, I can appreciate leaving them unfilled and being different.
Turkey: I think filling the cracks with epoxy would look better. For this project, I think a contrasting epoxy color would be striking and beautiful. Like an opaque white.
@@BlacktailStudio turkey, I think. Couldn’t get through it. Not sure how the captions get created for cc but it’s the first time I’ve seen it this off. Im hard of hearing so I always have them on. Not sue if everyone sees what I do. If I’d doesn’t look weird to you, let me know and I can send you the screen recording from my phone. I thought it was another video it was captioning. I just watched the burnt table this morning and I think it was fine.
Bologna: the humor you inject with the trolling responses is rather passive and it’s awesome! Nothing over the top, but still a statement to their somewhat rude or incorrect posts! The totality of this channel is amazing! The first watched and I subscribed. It’s not fair use the phrase “you’re worth my subscription” as it implies I’m somehow special and you should be honored I subscribed. It’s a mutualistic act: you make content and we subscribe and watch. It’s not for nothing as it takes you time to make the content and we watch.
Turkey: I didn't like this piece at first because I didn't know where u were going with it. Now, I think its absolutely beautiful. I love the cracks, the checking, the holes, and other "flaws" in this piece. I also think the bow-ties actually enhances the piece adding more character regardless of their color and lack of matching. Sure, you could've added epoxy but in this situation epoxy I feel would've hindered its appearance. Its all wood and it needed to stay all wood.
Turkey!! Definitely pro crack on a piece like this, it looks amazing. Truly incredible works of art that you create, and the educational aspect of your videos is certainly a reason that keeps me coming back. I've learned so much from your channel and always find new tips and tricks from you even by rewatching your uploads. Keep doing what you're doing bud.
Turkey. What a cat. I like the table because the wood is so beautiful. Your bowties make it stand out. It is a piece that think needs other pieces to match what is going on. Great job on a learning curve for tools you've never used.
Exactly, LED light strip, if you fill the cracks with epoxy the light coming from the center would shine thru some of them it would be an interesting effect.
TURKEY!! Love this. I just got a turboplane to play with so fits my current direction. Love all your work. Have to say if woodwork were a religion not only would you build the thrones for the gods, you would have a seat on one 👌
Just recently started watching your channel, I have subscribed, and I am definitely pro-crack. The way you ensure cracked wood stays together with your bowties, to me, is very impressive. Most of what you make is out of my price range but watching you build the various pieces for your clients and the process you go through to give them a quality product I admire. Keep doing what you obviously love and putting out these videos!
Turkey, Seriously beautiful piece! Personal preference only but I think a jet black epoxy fill would've REALLY made the Dark/Light wood grains SNAP! Regardless it's a killer piece, Kutzall are now on my purchase list. I have a chainsaw grinder carving blade and it scares the crap outta me... but that's a good thing I guess right. Keep up that amazing content brother.
Was just a casual watcher until recently, but decided to start going back to watch your evolution. Truly inspired. Thank you very much for being so transparent and meticulous. Your step by step presentation and willingness to share your knowledge via your content and workshops/lessons is invaluable for some one aspiring to get into woodworking.. can’t thank you enough.
Turkey: I think I would have preferred to see the cracks filled with epoxy. If the one section of the top broke that easily, I would think other areas might break off, particularly since the stump still had some drying to do. Other reasons would be spills, or something getting into the cracks that you couldn't get out. I just think something like the black epoxy would make a much cleaner look while still showing the cracks and establishing the wood. Great piece though!
Turkey, honestly I don’t like the bow ties, and I’d rather the cracks were filled with a clear or dark epoxy. But that’s me, and it’s no more or less valid a preference than yours so you be you 👍🏻
Turkey The gruesome chainsaw disc pictures were from James Hamilton from Stumpy Nubs Woodworking. Immediately thought of it when you showed the disc. It's been over a year and his hand is still not ok. I believe he only uses saburrtooth discs now. They look a lot like the kutzall tools so probably similar. Probably a tip you already know but I put my finish in those cheap ketchup/mustard squirt bottles, they make it easy to distribute and squirt in those small cracks.
Turkey, in this abstract carved piece, the cracks are an inherent part of the look. In a more structured piece, you might want to go for a more worked appearance. I actually thought you were carving a whale, with it's fluke becoming the table-top. Lovely piece of walnut, lovely finish.
I am from Canada and love working with pine, I mainly make mirrors or cat frames. I stain and wax only, making them so slippery they're hard to hold. I enjoy your blog and your tables I said to my wife omg! that's what I've wanted to do for some time. OH BOY, THE SMELL OF WOOD! How addicting I'll have to come and see you in action to see if that's what I can do the same. Great work!
Turkey and dressing is my favorite Thanksgiving meal! I love the beauty you've revealed from what would have gone to the burn pile. The overall theme is that there's redeeming qualities in everyone and everything!
I always prefer a natural design and look - however, with this project, epoxy and dark [almost ebony] bow ties would better enhance the overall presentation.
Turkey…..I love all you projects & always watch to the end. Great job as is, would also love to see it with epoxy, I love Safire, but not opposed to black. Keep up the good work, you are more interesting than watching television.
Turkey: I’d prefer without cracks but that’s just me and knowing how amazing your epoxy work looks. Are there any cons in leaving the cracks such as stability of the piece? Is it more prone to breakage or wood movement? As always keep up the amazing work!
Excuse me while I genuinely enjoy all your videos Cam! Even dating way back lol thankful to have come upon your channel randomly. Don’t know a thing about woodwork but throughly enjoy your work and would maybe one day love to try my efforts at a cool project.
Turkey: I'm pro-crack unless cracks develop after I've finished carving a burl to make a bowl. Much to learn Thank you for alerting people to the dangers of the Lancelot. I had a full suit of PPE, and still ended up with stitches across the tops of three fingers. I did not see a safety guard on your grinder with the Lancelot. Why? Or why not? Can you please recommend some very warm cut-proof work gloves that allow you to use an angle grinder or mini-grinder? Love your work. And I use Kutzall discs and 1/8" burs. Love them
Turkey. Just found your channel. I'm gonna wind up watching quite a few vids this evening. That other UA-camr was Stumpy Nubs (4:21). Almost lived up to the name.
Turkey- i like the cracks but i also like to see them filled with color, black is always good but for one like this i could see a deep red looking really cool.
Turkey. Awesome work in spite of chainsaw experience. It is a difficult trade to learn and I am by no means an expert. I’m just a girl from Missouri admiring all the work you do. Keep them coming!
Turkey.. I really liked that you didn't fill the cracks with epoxy.. I do feel it would be spectacular with a tiffany lamp on top of it with the wire running through the hole... all the best Cam
Turkey. I really appreciate your honesty regarding money, sponsors etc. A lot of people beat around the bush saying they need likes to know you've enjoyed, but you're honest in saying it's to appease sponsors.

turkey, i am in LOVE with the cracks and the natural look of this piece. i tend to make things too symmetrical so i love how organic this piece looks
Turkey: I'd prefer the crack to be filled with epoxy, it's not only much easier to maintain (from any liquid spill or dust that will eventually start accumulating) but it will also make the piece stronger and in case there is an accidental hit or drop wouldn't break down.
I agree.
I like the rustic look with the cracks but would probably like the epoxy too.
Exactly. Even if you were completely safe and never spilled liquid on it, you'll never get the dust build up out of there.
I agree
Agreed

Turkey. The cracks add character! However, I wouldn’t be adverse to see the effect of an epoxy fill and the outcome...maybe in just the larger cracks.
I would have epoxied them, just to make sure nothing falls off.
With the high moisture content still present, the wood probably will still shrink and the epoxy would loosen or separate.... perhaps if a year goes by first it could be done.
Good call!

Similar to the brass wand light in the desk. I agree a light would add to it.

That would be beautifull. Maybe a brass epoxy? Would be reminiscent of kintsugi
Damn molten brass would be beautiful in this application!

That natural hole through the center would be perfect for hiding a lamp cord!

Same thing came to my mind.
Ditto! JH's series of videos on the accident and recovery are very eye opening. The chainsaw grinder wheels shouldn't be used.
Yep! like minds! James Hamilton got injured really bad and I was telling a friend, get the Kutzall!
Yep! Same here. I got chills when I seen that cutter! I was clinched the whole time.
Thanks guys! Made me nervous

What a great job. Cam makes his videos interesting, instructional and fun to watch. He also does fantastic wood working. Well done all around.
Turkey!!! Love the name. The cracks are what make the table so organic. Leave the cracks
Turkey: I’d prefer without cracks but that’s just me and knowing how amazing your epoxy work looks. Are there any cons in leaving the cracks such as stability of the piece? Is it more prone to breakage or wood movement? As always keep up the amazing work!
Turkey. Stubby Nubs had a serious hand injury with the chain saw carving blade. Be careful out there.
I’m glad I didn’t see his channel before I started this project
Excuse me while I genuinely enjoy all your videos Cam! Even dating way back lol thankful to have come upon your channel randomly. Don’t know a thing about woodwork but throughly enjoy your work and would maybe one day love to try my efforts at a cool project.
The cracks are presenting the real life of the wood! Let them be as it gives character to your carving. The bow ties look marvellous
Turkey, could you slide a cup across the table uninhibited
Of so I say the cracks are dope
Turkey, would you entertain a round, clear glass top to increase the surface size of this table or do you prefer the wood piece only?
Turkey: I'm pro-crack unless cracks develop after I've finished carving a burl to make a bowl. Much to learn Thank you for alerting people to the dangers of the Lancelot. I had a full suit of PPE, and still ended up with stitches across the tops of three fingers. I did not see a safety guard on your grinder with the Lancelot. Why? Or why not?
Can you please recommend some very warm cut-proof work gloves that allow you to use an angle grinder or mini-grinder? Love your work. And I use Kutzall discs and 1/8" burs. Love them
I’ve liked the firm grip crew chief ones lately
Turkey ... Pro - crack ... but I have to say ... I like the lighter coloured bow-tie ... I like its incongruity on this piece. Nice work Cam.
Turkey. Just found your channel. I'm gonna wind up watching quite a few vids this evening.
That other UA-camr was Stumpy Nubs (4:21). Almost lived up to the name.
Get that chainsaw cutting disc away that thing will mangle ur hand
😬
Who’s turkey?
Turkey baby and pro crack 4 life. What a beautiful piece
#Turkey
The table Looks weak and fragile because of those cracks😞
It’s sturdy! But it might look fragile
Disagree.
@@BlacktailStudio you r the expert 🙇🏻♂️
Turkey: anti-crack for me for anything I would buy myself, but I understand why people like them
To each there own!
Turkey - hey, if your technique works and you still have ten fingers and ten toes, there's nothing wrong with it, edit for Turkey :P
Turkey- i like the cracks but i also like to see them filled with color, black is always good but for one like this i could see a deep red looking really cool.
Turkey. Others have mentioned it here but it bears repeating: those chainsaw discs will end your career.
Possibly!
Assalamualaikum turkey 🤝🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Turkey. Whats the balance, which is most profitable - the wood job that you do, or the youtube income?
Probably a longer conversation
Turkey - please don't use a chainsaw disk on an angle grinder.
Ok!
Turkey! Love this piece!
Turkey! Say "No" to crack. Just makes me feel that another chunk might fall off.
Turkey very entertaining really enjoyed a job well done
Turkey. Awesome work in spite of chainsaw experience. It is a difficult trade to learn and I am by no means an expert. I’m just a girl from Missouri admiring all the work you do. Keep them coming!
Turkey.. I really liked that you didn't fill the cracks with epoxy.. I do feel it would be spectacular with a tiffany lamp on top of it with the wire running through the hole... all the best Cam
TURKEY!!
I love everything about this side table!! I have a perfect place for it. ❤❤❤
Turkey.
Great job Cam, I love the bow tie and the way you left mother nature alone leaving the cracks
The top cracks would look good filled, rest of them left unfilled. Great job, wonderful video.
Turkey, that is soo cool 100% perfect!
