- Power carving an end table from a single piece of wood. I have used some electric carving tools before. But this was my first time using a chainsaw carving disc, and actually my first time using a chainsaw too! I started with a big chunk of english walnut and shaped it down to an end table for our new house. As always, SUBSCRIBE for more videos and let me know what you think of this.

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.
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!
Turkish. I just wanted to say that I love everything about this table, even the too light bow ties.
The top cracks would look good filled, rest of them left unfilled. Great job, wonderful video.
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
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.
I’m in
@@BlacktailStudio btw i always watch all the way to the end every time lol. The shop is lookin good too, man. 👍
@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: pro crack! Love the English walnut as well. Beautiful and organic.
Turkey , amazing how you turned that trunk into a table, I do like the dark bow ties.
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.
Yes, fill them. If something gets spilled…yuck!
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.
Turkey. I love the more natural, cracked up look. I think it’s amazing! Pro-crack here.
Turkey! I love that you didn’t fill the whole thing with epoxy. I enjoyed this departure.
Best employee, no sick days, no vacation days, never talks back, never asks for a raise, always gets the job done.
And no lifting weight impediment.
My cat definitely talks back..
Turkey - epoxy the cracks. You’ll still see the beauty of the imperfections (you might even be able to enhance them), but the strength of the epoxy will allow people to enjoy the piece for decades, without having to worry about an accidental tumble causing a break.
exactly... was waiting for the epoxy to come out the whole time like in every other video
Naw. Its bottom heavy. Doubt it will take tumble and in my opinion, epoxy is way over done. The cracks look good in my nobody opinion.
@@jesusislord6545 you forgot to say turkey first
Turkey. I agree on epoxy. At least for the top. If it is ever to be used as an actual table then those cracks are going to fill up with dust, dirt and who knows what else pretty quick.
Turkey!!! Love the name. The cracks are what make the table so organic. Leave the cracks
Turkey, I think my preference may have been to fill the cracks with epoxy and use your epoxy ninja skills to aid in shaping the table. That being said; holy moly the colors, graining, and contrasts you brought out of that wood was incredible.
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!
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!
I'm glad you didn't fill the cracks. It's a good reminder where this piece started from and sort of preserves its origins
Those bow ties on top are so beautiful.
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... I like the piece , the cracks, thw rounded bow ties, and the craftsmanship. Thank you Buffalo Bruce
Turkey.
Great job Cam, I love the bow tie and the way you left mother nature alone leaving the cracks
Turkey: wood is a natural material with cracks and imperfections. I say embrace them whenever possible. Beautiful work
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!
I have, works great!
Turkey, I’m not a wood worker but wish I were. Love watching your videos and seeing your unique and beautiful projects. This one did not disappoint.
My dad was a master chainsaw sculptor back in the 80's. He was a lawnmower repair technician by trade, so he was always around chainsaws. At tech conferences, they would hold carving competitions. He won many, being the champ 5 years in a row. The last one he did, it was a timed competition. They gave the participant a piece of a log, a selection of chainsaws (Weedeater brand at the time), and everyone had to carve the same thing. The item was a cowboy boot. He literally took his boot off and made an exact replica of it. Even down to the pull straps. It looked so real.
Prrrr I love the cracks - natural look
Turkey, embrace the natural beauty. It is sincere, literally from the Latin “without wax” or resin in your case.
Turkey. Love the aluminum extrusion router setup. Anti-crack!
TURKEY!!
I love everything about this side table!! I have a perfect place for it. ❤❤❤
You Are My FAVORITE UA-cam Channel. I Love Your Work!
Oh thanks. And based on your name, you’ll love my latest video.
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'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! 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!
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, its a nice looking table, but I feel like it could be a great lamp if you add cord trough the hole and some light on the top.
I never thought of that.. but agreed! It's got a nice shelf area for books etc
Similar to the brass wand light in the desk. I agree a light would add to it.
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.
Turkey, I love those bow ties, super job!!
turkey! love the cracks!
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.
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. 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.
Turkey…… funny name for a cat! I personally love all things wood! I love to see a block of wood fashioned into a magnificent object and able to sit in a room and be admired….by me, my guests, anyone. Wood is truly an agent of extreme possibilities. From a sugar spoon to a solid and huge table. Plain ungrained right up to the look of a burl. Anything can result when your heart is in what you do. Keep doing what you do. It’s great!
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! 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.
Turkey, what a superb job!👏👏👏👏👏🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧
Turkey, love the cracks and love the cat as well!!!
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.
A shimmering bright blue would look good.
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 as in Turkish Walnut is very beautiful. Your carving videos have got me thinking about dabbling in it myself, especially since as a turner, I'm limited by the swing and bed length of my lathe. I would definitely enjoy more carving videos.
Turkey, I think the cracks are wonderful (the bow ties too!). I would also love to see those cracks filled in with silvery epoxy.
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!
I definitely can’t fake it!
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.
Gorgeous! The table and the cat, Turkey.
Turkey, I think that you should fill the cracks. Leaving them open will allow dust, dirt and other foreign objects to collect in time, derogating the appearance of the table. The table was unique and beautiful. You do amazing work. I am never disappointed with your videos.
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.
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.
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... 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!!👍👍😼
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.
Salami... I agree, it's like a little extra something we get at the end.
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. 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.
Turkey. Embrace the cracks! The bow ties work well on the top, it gives it a planned chaos kind of look. The artist in me digs that!
Turkey, love the design!
Cracks: if the piece is to be highly functional it would be my preference for them to be filled. If mostly decorative/low use then au naturale is definitely preferred.
Gorgeous piece!
You are going to have to do a home tour video at some point to show us everything you’ve created for yourself.
Turkey. Definitely do more pieces like this!! My favorite project from you so far :)
Oh awesome! Most people didn’t seem to like it as much
Turkey. I like the bow ties and embracing the cracks. The table turned out beautifully. That said, I would also be interested in seeing one done with epoxy, both a clear and a black or other color.
Turkey is an awesome cat. Pro cracks, thank you so much.
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 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!
Turkey… love the cracks! Can’t wait to get the Kutzall disks for my husbands shop!
Turkey. I love with the cracks, personally. I really love when you can feel the character of the wood under your fingers, rather than the smoothness of epoxy. Personal preference. Its definitely harder to maintain in the long run, but for aesthetics, it's captivating.
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.
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
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!
Really love those bowties on a curved surface. Looked cool.
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, 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.
Steve Summers, a machinist, got a lift like yours for the shop, they're handy. Save your back, you'll need it.
Turkey is so beautiful, definitely need to see more of them and Riggs.
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: Beautiful wood, Awesome work as always 👍 can't thank you enough for sharing.
Thanks Brenden!
Turkey: looks beautiful as is but might look cool with some molten brass or an amber epoxy...
Ooooo
I hadn't thought of that, but in the top with all those cracks...I bet the brass would be amazing...👍👍👍👍
I love it!
That would be beautifull. Maybe a brass epoxy? Would be reminiscent of kintsugi
Damn molten brass would be beautiful in this application!
Epic
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.
Riggs, that is a great name for a cat. The bowties on top are gorgeous and I love the colors and the cracks.
TURKEY! I've been loving the videos, especially the "call to action". Very informative and I had been thinking about getting kutzall Dremel bits, so this was nice to see there other products being used too. Something to consider for future tool purchases. The natural cracks for this particular project are great but not everything needs a crack. Smooth isn't always better, definitely preferential. Either way, I really enjoy your videos and I'll try my best to leave a comment every now and then!
Turkey.I love the cracks its part of the wood they tell a story, I love the piece buddy great job.
Thanks man!
Turkey is adorable! Also, I love the cracks, and since you don’t have to fill them or carve them out completely, it gives you more freedom to create whatever shape you want! (I think, at least… I have not been able to work with wood with cracks in it just yet)
Turkey, I like the natural cracks!
That natural hole through the center would be perfect for hiding a lamp cord!
That’s the plan!
Was thinking the same!
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.
That is an awesome suggestion!
Turkey: on the extrusion rig, I recommend adding diagonals to eliminate flex as you slide the tool across the rails.
Turkey. Every time you excell ... just ADSOME!GBY.
Turkey: Beautiful, love all the natural cracks ❤
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!!
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, love this table build!!❤
Turkey sure is cute! I love the cracks in this project! I also like the contrast of the lighter bowties on the underside of the table, but, that's just me!
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.
Turkey, I would love to see you do a table or carving with LED lights in the epoxy
Oh ya!
I'm a knifemaker and always drool over your scraps. LOL
im anti-crack but now that i watched this i think im hooked...thanks
