I'm almost 65. I still have ALL of my hair. My father had and Brother has, MPB. The secret was given to me by a barber 45 years ago. Tea Tree Oil. Massaged into the scalp once a week. Inexpensive and Very effective. Give it a whirl. All you have to lose is your hair. My 56 year old brother couldn't be bothered and now he's bald.
Love your work more than Blacktail Studio. Top looks great. Would like to see what would happen with the spiral base if done as natural wood instead black textured finish. Maybe the higher grade plywood to do that would cost too much $$$.
Cottonwood is good. The top is gorgeous. I love the smoky contrast of the epoxy and how that ties in the base. The base design really adds the finishing touch to the overall look. Kudos.
It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
I loved the base... right up until you put the bondo on. It would have been waaaaay more beautiful if you had sanded it smooth (as you did) then stained it a natural color letting all the laminations show proudly through. I wish I had the money to commission you to do just that, I loved it.
The finished base looks like he just painted over some osb with water based paint. I'm not a fan of it either, but it's easy to ignore with a table top like that.
Normally I prefer natural wood. But I think the base needed to be painted rather than stained. The star of the project was the cottonwood and the black base really set it off. I think it’s stunning. I don’t care for the texture though.
So happy I came across this video. I grew up in Central Kansas where cottonwood trees are in abundance. I've always been told they were a junk tree and couldn't be used for anything other than a bonfire. I'm happy to see your beautiful table showing off how beautiful theses trees really are!
Beautiful!! I do have a cottonwood slab planning for a huge dining table until the black walnut is the most sought around here. The project sat for over 2years. After watching this, I get inspired on work on it again. Thanks to you brother!
I love this table, although if I was having you build it for me, I would probably prefer to not hide the plywood base with that "textured black" finish, which incredibly looks a lot like pickup truck bed liner.
Prior to the advent of all those cool CNC tools with high-speed cutting heads, cottonwood was hated because it was so soft and difficult to work decently. You really couldn't plane it into useable lumber for cabinetry. It's a royal pain to turn because you get so much tear out. Yes it looks nice but you can't get a decent surface on it. This, however, is spectacular.
As a tip for pouring epoxy in a dusty environment, use a spray bottle and lightly spray around the area you'll be doing sanding and the dust will stick to the water and not fly back up in the air with a gust of wind
Thanks for the build. I happen to live in an area that has big cottonwood trees, and I have been fortunate to get ahold of some very large logs. I agree that it can become absolutely beautiful pieces.
Being from WY originally, I thought all Cottonwood could do was make you sneeze but now I see we can cut them down and make wonderful tables, etc out of them. Loved your video.
A suggestion for the “bowties”. Have the CNC drill two ¼" holes in each bowtie; each hole should be the same distance from the exact center of the bowtie, say 20", and the two holes should be one-twentieth of that distance from each other. Call the two holes L and R. When you put the first two bowties on the center dowel and line them up, the holes will also line up. Rotate the top bowtie around the center dowel by 6° and now hole L on the top bowtie should line up with hole R on the bottom bowtie. Put a little wood clue on a short bit of ¼" dowel and pound it into the hole. Tack the bowtie in place with the nail gun. Repeat this process with every subsequent bowtie. Now, the twist of the table stand is EXACTLY consistent and cannot shift.
Cottonwood is good and looks great with the variation. I’ve used it to do book matching in builds and turned out amazing. Great work with this build and being innovative with the base! 👍🏼
I liked the base more without covering up the wood. I second the opinion that cottonwood is beautiful. Also, the cottonwood seeds are underused. ...Shoulda gathered them up and put them in a vacuumed epoxy to finish out the slab, maybe with a luna moth or other ornate Saturnid moth that feeds on cottonwood.
Very well done. Consider the same base using a high quality plywood and leaving it natural or a light stain to see the layering or different woods layered, like the wood seen in cutting boards. Purples, browns, and lighter woods for a cutting board colored table and base too.
"Cottonwood Is good" ... and an amazing piece. Unsolicited tip from an ol' "plastic" boat builder - I had to check out what Odie's oil is and I may just try it on the teak trim on my boat (tired of teak oils with no UV resistance). As far as the epoxy fill finish; most poly plastics can be buffed to a glass smooth surface using car buffing and glazing compounds - the non wax types. Putting a sheen of organic carbon based oil, especially oils that use a thinning agent like styrene or acetone, on the plastic bits to shine them up, over time, will react chemically to most styrene and vinyl, and most "esters" and epoxies, causing them to either pit or haze over. It can take a while but it will happen. For the size area you have, you can start with 320 dry sanding, one pass of red compound, one pass of white compound and a final glaze. If you use a 200 to 300 RPM, 7 inch buffer it would take all of 20 minutes to finish with 5 minutes to spare for a smoke and a cup of coffee to stand and admire how shiny it looks.
I have some cottonwood that I was planning to make a table with. I wasn't sure how it would turn out because I've never worked with it, but since nature provided it for me to work with, I thought it would probably turn out amazing. After watching this, I'm sure of it! I also have a great idea for that build now. Once I finish it, I'll tag you in the video. I need to finish building my website before I get around to building that table. I'm also waiting for better weather since I don't have a shop.
Very nice indeed young man. I am a carpenter/sculpture from Scotland. Unfortunately, in my day we didn't have CNC machines and had to do it the old fashioned way by carving from a solid chunk of real wood. By the way, if you are interested, if you want a textured look like your friend did, get yourself some textured artex/plaster rollers and then cover your creation with bondo/cataloy then go over it with the textured roller and you have a textured piece.
Beautiful table! I love the grain of the wood! Cottenwood is good. I have mimosa trees, they’re beautiful, but they shed their flower and then you have million tiny trees trying to grow all over your yard!
Rub paraffin wax on your jointer table and fence (and other tools) to make pushing pieces through much easier. I always have a small block of paraffin within reach of my table saw, planer, jointer. You don't have to cover the entire surface, just rub a zig-zag or other scribble pattern.
Little SketchUp tip here, when you pull up the arc or circle tool, you can change the number of segments in the circle to be higher in order to get smoother looking circles instead of the standard 24 segments which tends to look a bit rough ua-cam.com/video/jIUAuB6XSJE/v-deo.html
I have never used cottonwood for anything. But I just acquired an old turning lather from my dad and my friend gave me some cottonwood logs to turn. I’m look forward to using cottonwood for the first time! Thanks for the video
Although a lot have been cut down, there were a bunch of these in our town growing up. The one thing good about them is they grow very tall and massive. And of course the snowstorm every year is cool unless you have a pool. My friend learned a very valuable and costly lesson. You have to turn off filtration and get the snow out of the pool before you run filtration. It really messed his filter up and he. Had to have someone come in and help him fix it.
Hackberry.. that's what I like. The guy that sliced some I had into boards thought I was nuts when I took it to him. He had changed his mind when I went to pick it up.
Cottonwood is good and is the state tree of Nebraska, where it is prolific. I've turned some curly cottonwood and it is pretty when figured but very plain otherwise. Your video is getting me to rethink cottonwood. It also forms burls. The biggest burls I've seen on living trees in our area are on Cottonwoods. Cottonwood will also once turn green and dry all wonky without cracking. I'm a new viewer and just subscribed today. As a turner, I like to watch non-turning videos to get new ideas and thoughts about my craft and ways to improve it. Thanks.
The room where @18:15, you set the table in, Oh that was perfect an epic match! Like the room and the table were meant to be together! I can picture sunlight under the right conditions would make that table look amazing and totally breathtaking! Amazing skill, good sir!!!!
The cottonwood is truly beautiful. The black base looks absolutely fantastic however I feel sorry for your wife when she has to clean it. I made a "loft style" table some time back for a friend and he wanted the metal base painted black. Table looked great and he and his wife were very happy. Then a few months later, his wife told me that black surfaces show up all speckles of dust and keeping it clean is a nightmare. They are lucky as the surfaces are smooth. I know that sometimes you have to sacrifice practicality for looks so I'm all for the texture on the base.. Absolutely great build.
Beautiful table top! Have to chime in on the base texture. My late wife would say "you ain't bringing that into my house". She was a stickler on easy clean surfaces. Not a problem with many folks, so enjoy it if you can.
Cottonwood is good. Beautiful table. I would love to have something like that in my dining room, but I only have room for my antic oak table. Keep up the great work! Love watching your videos.
We’ve got cottonwood for days around Chicago. I’ve always wanted to build with it, and also black honey locust and other similar variants. They’re plentiful as well.
Pretty Amazing Table, I'm jealous! I used a piece of cottonwood and hand carved a rocking horse for a child back in 1982. It wasn't that hard to work with because it was seasoned but while I was building, I was trying to talk myself into using it for another project.Beautiful wood, so many different grains! The Mother was a single mother and she was so amazed at how it turned out she wanted to kidnap me and use my body for things unmentionable, lol. I ran away but we remained friends for life and she Married a pretty amazing guy, the lucky Guy!
Cottonwood is good. I rememer climbing the Cottonwood tree behind grandma's house when I was little. I called it The Pea Tree because its seeds wood hang like little round green peas on their own strings. It was 10 years later when my parents corrected my erroneous name for it.😆🤗💚
In all fairness I think Jonny makes sawdust might be the new cool. You won’t know unless you try! Kidding! As usual nicely done you inspire me to keep learning!
Cotton Wood is Good? I have six of these things on my property, you're not lying, they 'snow' over everything! Had no idea it looked that good, lucky for them I can put up with the 'snow' because I'd rather have trees on my property. Great looking table!
I have a friend that lives nearby to two MASSIVE cottonwoods, one in the neighbor's yard and one 100 feet down the block, and they're gorgeous to look at. But there's also a dead one on a piece of property my dad owns, that's ready to fall over, and now I want to get it milled into lumber.
Table looks beautiful my friend. I personally would have gone a few shades darker with the stain, but that is me. 😁 Thanks for sharing your work with us.
"COTTONWOOD IS GOOD" Very beautiful table. Wish I was a talented person like you. Right now looks like it has snowed in my driveway and at the bottom of the hill 4 houses down it is 5x worse so I don't have as much as they do living up the hill. But is looking like it is snowing out for the last week or so.. lol Great Job.
Stunning table, you realise with that base you have also figured a way to make a spiral vertical wind turbine plus people have been trying to figure out a way to make an Archimedes screw easily and cheaply for hydro screw turbines, you've just solved it, a coating of epoxy to make it waterproof and you've got the screw to put in a housing and if you've got a low head river or stream you can make a decent amount of power.
Cottonwood is good! I would say amazing - the wood has a life of it's own in the furniture, and you used it to optimum level. Very impressive!! The base is to die for!

It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
I usually don't like the light wood finishes, but man!!!!!!!!!! That table is gorgeous!!!!! The two contrasting colors looks great together!!!!!!!!
I love when the cottonwoods release their seeds, it's beautiful to watch them all float around
I loved the base... right up until you put the bondo on. It would have been waaaaay more beautiful if you had sanded it smooth (as you did) then stained it a natural color letting all the laminations show proudly through. I wish I had the money to commission you to do just that, I loved it.
The finished base looks like he just painted over some osb with water based paint. I'm not a fan of it either, but it's easy to ignore with a table top like that.
I agree
WHY?WHY?WWWHHHHYYYYY???
I disagree, for me the finished look is stunning. A modern classic.
The base didn't even look like wood. I don't get the appeal either, personally. It was a lot of work to just cover up.
Normally I prefer natural wood. But I think the base needed to be painted rather than stained. The star of the project was the cottonwood and the black base really set it off. I think it’s stunning. I don’t care for the texture though.
Love the illusion of the black running up the base, into the top. Looks like a beautiful, shiney, black pool.
Cottonwood is good.
So happy I came across this video. I grew up in Central Kansas where cottonwood trees are in abundance. I've always been told they were a junk tree and couldn't be used for anything other than a bonfire. I'm happy to see your beautiful table showing off how beautiful theses trees really are!

This is exactly what I thought “ I got your proprietary textured Finish for half cost over here .”

You really couldn't plane it into useable lumber for cabinetry. It's a royal pain to turn because you get so much tear out. Yes it looks nice but you can't get a decent surface on it.
This, however, is spectacular.
I thought the legs looked so cool when you were putting them together. But once you blended them, pow! Gorgeous. The entire table is great.
yea i wasn't too sure about the top until i saw it with the base really completes it.
COTTONWOOD IS GOOD. I absolutely LOVE the table, especially the base. I would be so proud to have this in my home ❤
14:30 I love this moment when I finally get a peek at his vision. This is when it all clicks and "the nod" of satisfaction hits. So well done.
Changed my mind about cottonwood. I’m already running ideas through my head for a project.
Cottonwood is good. Love this table. Super figured, super clean look. You’re super talented man! Can’t wait for the next one!
As a tip for pouring epoxy in a dusty environment, use a spray bottle and lightly spray around the area you'll be doing sanding and the dust will stick to the water and not fly back up in the air with a gust of wind
That base is epic!!! Such a cool idea.
Thanks brother!! One day you’ll have to teach me how to properly power carve!
I liked how the ply edges looked in the spiral. Beautiful.
Thanks for the build. I happen to live in an area that has big cottonwood trees, and I have been fortunate to get ahold of some very large logs. I agree that it can become absolutely beautiful pieces.

Stunning design, stunning execution!!! A beautiful AND unique piece of furniture.
Cottonwood is good and looks great with the variation. I’ve used it to do book matching in builds and turned out amazing. Great work with this build and being innovative with the base! 👍🏼
I use a down cut spiral bit with a ramp and I no longer need tabs. Saves a ton of time. The down cut lets the sawdust keep the part in place.
I agree this wood looks amazing, great base too, beautiful project that fits perfectly in the room you showed as well !!!
The title gripped me. Most hated tree … Most beautiful wood. That said, I’ll Like, Listen, and Watch. 😊
This build is STUNNING!! Gorgeous design and effect!
My neighbors has cottonwood in their backyards. The flowers goes everywhere.
I liked the base more without covering up the wood. I second the opinion that cottonwood is beautiful. Also, the cottonwood seeds are underused. ...Shoulda gathered them up and put them in a vacuumed epoxy to finish out the slab, maybe with a luna moth or other ornate Saturnid moth that feeds on cottonwood.
A very beautiful Table, I do love top of the Table but I was pleasantly surprised how lovely the base is, the finish is overwhelming. UK.
Very well done. Consider the same base using a high quality plywood and leaving it natural or a light stain to see the layering or different woods layered, like the wood seen in cutting boards. Purples, browns, and lighter woods for a cutting board colored table and base too.
Beautiful! I wish you did a closer look at the base after they did what they did. I can't picture it! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
"Cottonwood Is good" ... and an amazing piece.

Absolutely stunning, a marvellous table. Bravo!
Dude that base looks like truck rhino liner, I love it!! Also glad your on keeps, you don’t want to have Komar hair lol 😂
Haha! Love you brother 🙏
I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it.
Beautiful table! I love the grain of the wood!
Cottenwood is good. I have mimosa trees, they’re beautiful, but they shed their flower and then you have million tiny trees trying to grow all over your yard!
cottonwood isn't beautiful - don't you dare me. Great vid and build, looks awesome Jonny
😂😂 thanks brother 🙏
Cottonwood can be beautiful but man it stinks up the shop.
I love cottonwood trees. They remind me of my childhood.
Love How it Turned Out. So Curious What That Original Step Pattern Would've looked like possibly for a piece with a bigger glass or epoxy finish.
that's some AWSOME work dud.Tables like yours will go down in history as a fine,highly sought after pc.
And LIKELY to be copied,but never equaled.
Rub paraffin wax on your jointer table and fence (and other tools) to make pushing pieces through much easier. I always have a small block of paraffin within reach of my table saw, planer, jointer. You don't have to cover the entire surface, just rub a zig-zag or other scribble pattern.
When I was in High school, (a hundred years ago) learning cabinetry from my father the slab you used would have been thrown out! It looks great!
Little SketchUp tip here, when you pull up the arc or circle tool, you can change the number of segments in the circle to be higher in order to get smoother looking circles instead of the standard 24 segments which tends to look a bit rough

Makes me want to start working in a shop again. I miss building things with my hands. well done Boss. Looks amazing!
as soon as i saw those ply inlays i was so upset those knots would have looked amazing filled with clear resin
Wow! That is a nice table. I usually despise cottonwood, I'm from Colorado, but this table has me rethinking that. Nice job!
Although a lot have been cut down, there were a bunch of these in our town growing up. The one thing good about them is they grow very tall and massive. And of course the snowstorm every year is cool unless you have a pool. My friend learned a very valuable and costly lesson.

Out of all tables I have seen made with epoxy resin this is the one I want and like the moast.
I love this table....I even managed to figure out the base before you said it. Gorgeous!
Hackberry.. that's what I like. The guy that sliced some I had into boards thought I was nuts when I took it to him. He had changed his mind when I went to pick it up.
Amazing beauty. I love how you created the double helix.
Turned out BEAUTIFUL! Cottonwood is Good.
Hated the thought of using ply with such a good project, but it looks AWESOME!
Natural color of the wood is the Best, with combination of Black!!!☝☝☝❤❤❤
Cottonwood is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! The table is a work of art.
Cottonwood is good and is the state tree of Nebraska, where it is prolific. I've turned some curly cottonwood and it is pretty when figured but very plain otherwise. Your video is getting me to rethink cottonwood. It also forms burls. The biggest burls I've seen on living trees in our area are on Cottonwoods. Cottonwood will also once turn green and dry all wonky without cracking. I'm a new viewer and just subscribed today. As a turner, I like to watch non-turning videos to get new ideas and thoughts about my craft and ways to improve it. Thanks.
Fantastic, I wish I had access to cottonwood slabs like that. Be proud, it turned out spectacular
I love the way you made the base for that table its a beautiful table just like all ur other projects
Yes, cottonwood is good. Beautiful work, I love the base too.
The room where @18:15, you set the table in, Oh that was perfect an epic match! Like the room and the table were meant to be together! I can picture sunlight under the right conditions would make that table look amazing and totally breathtaking! Amazing skill, good sir!!!!
Wowwwww the table is great but de base is creative in big words, awesome, A+!!!
The cottonwood is truly beautiful. The black base looks absolutely fantastic however I feel sorry for your wife when she has to clean it. I made a "loft style" table some time back for a friend and he wanted the metal base painted black. Table looked great and he and his wife were very happy.

You have changed my mind on this tree. Cottonwood is Good and this table looks awesome.
Cottonwoods are amazing. Their roots can help stabilise, and extract heavy metals and other pollutants from the soil.
Cottonwood is GOOD, definitely a lovely peice of wood and stunning table.
The table is Beautiful. Your design skills and execution of the project was interesting. I saw a flawed piece of wood and you saw a completed table.
Cottonwood is good. Beautiful table. I would love to have something like that in my dining room, but I only have room for my antic oak table. Keep up the great work! Love watching your videos.
We’ve got cottonwood for days around Chicago. I’ve always wanted to build with it, and also black honey locust and other similar variants. They’re plentiful as well.
Pretty Amazing Table, I'm jealous! I used a piece of cottonwood and hand carved a rocking horse for a child back in 1982. It wasn't that hard to work with because it was seasoned but while I was building, I was trying to talk myself into using it for another project.Beautiful wood, so many different grains! The Mother was a single mother and she was so amazed at how it turned out she wanted to kidnap me and use my body for things unmentionable, lol. I ran away but we remained friends for life and she Married a pretty amazing guy, the lucky Guy!
Beautiful table. Those are the trees that make me sneeze.
Cottonwood is good.
I rememer climbing the Cottonwood tree behind grandma's house when I was little. I called it The Pea Tree because its seeds wood hang like little round green peas on their own strings. It was 10 years later when my parents corrected my erroneous name for it.😆🤗💚
Cottonwoods are gorgeous trees. We have one here in MN that is over 5' diameter at base. Such a beauty. Towering. Shimmering. Graceful.
All wood is beautiful it's just needs the right person to bring out the beauty
Super nice. The aesthetic of the black vs tan/marbled wood grain is striking. I like that a lot.
Wow! Impressive! I wish I had half that much creativity.
When stabilized it makes beautiful knife scales too.
I am so envious, I would love to do what you do. I'm over 60 so too old to start learning now.
Cottonwood is good. The fluff is horrible if you have a swamp cooler, but the color of the leaves in the fall is spectacular!
Love the Innovative base holding up that Good Cottonwood top, a wood I have overlooked...
In all fairness I think Jonny makes sawdust might be the new cool. You won’t know unless you try! Kidding! As usual nicely done you inspire me to keep learning!
Love the cottonwoods when they are blooming they smell so good! Cottonwood is good 🙂
Beautiful table, and beautiful wood! I'll have to check out Cottonwood in the future for one of my table projects.
Cottonwood is good! Now to go back and watch the beginning and all the stuff in between. The table looks fantastic!
Cotton Wood is Good? I have six of these things on my property, you're not lying, they 'snow' over everything! Had no idea it looked that good, lucky for them I can put up with the 'snow' because I'd rather have trees on my property.
Great looking table!
That is a beautiful table! Great job! Cottonwood is good.
I have a friend that lives nearby to two MASSIVE cottonwoods, one in the neighbor's yard and one 100 feet down the block, and they're gorgeous to look at. But there's also a dead one on a piece of property my dad owns, that's ready to fall over, and now I want to get it milled into lumber.
Cottonwood is definitely good, what a stunning table. You are so talented. You must get so much satisfaction out of making such beautiful items.
Table looks beautiful my friend. I personally would have gone a few shades darker with the stain, but that is me. 😁
Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Cottonwood is good. That base is great! Thanks for an excellent video, Jonny Makes Sawdust.
Looks great. If it were me, I would forget the wood top and put a grey & black spiral on top design instead.
Cottonwood is good, it is so good, right to the very end.
"COTTONWOOD IS GOOD" Very beautiful table. Wish I was a talented person like you. Right now looks like it has snowed in my driveway and at the bottom of the hill 4 houses down it is 5x worse so I don't have as much as they do living up the hill. But is looking like it is snowing out for the last week or so.. lol Great Job.
Stunning table, you realise with that base you have also figured a way to make a spiral vertical wind turbine plus people have been trying to figure out a way to make an Archimedes screw easily and cheaply for hydro screw turbines, you've just solved it, a coating of epoxy to make it waterproof and you've got the screw to put in a housing and if you've got a low head river or stream you can make a decent amount of power.
Wow! The table is stunning. You have superb vision!
Cottonwood is good! I would say amazing - the wood has a life of it's own in the furniture, and you used it to optimum level. Very impressive!! The base is to die for!
Wow! Stunning! The craftsmanship is amazing!
