I needed some time to understand what you were aiming at ,the result is wonderful ,good job ,well done ,walnut is one of the most beautiful woods we have in Brittany ,with yew ,my favorite ,most of the furniture I made is yew ,sacred tree of the Kelts..
Very nice, I like how you used as much of the material as possible. Walnut is one of my favorites, I even save the scraps for projects later or bow ties and blah blah blah.👍 awesome!
It's legitimately spooky how closely I was going to make my coffee table to this design. The only difference being rather than the fox tail tenon on that center support, I was going to have it go all the way through and hold it in place with a couple wedges. Thank you for making this video.
+Miles J. That is a great look as well. Best of luck on your table. This resource was very helpful when I made the wedged mortise and tenon. www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/wedged-mortise-and-tenon
Beautiful work Chris! Did you only use Walnut oil and does that do a good job with protecting the wood from spills, etc. I'm just getting started in wood working and working on three walnut topped tables, easy in your book I'm sure. I'm using Minwax Pre stain and natural stain with Deft satin poly. It's a long drawn out process and trying to find what works best. Can you share some tips for me? Thanks
Bark can harbor insects, and it's not a very good idea to leave it. You can...but only if it's sealed REALLY well and the wood has been fumigated before use.
+Country Wood Creations NY Thanks for watching. I did used walnut oil to bring out the color. It was a food safe alternative. Now the table has had time to adapt to the house I will finish it with a water based polly.
What's the specific epoxy product at 1:56? Also what's the thought behind filling checks with epoxy rather than just oiling (looks like the finish was just a rub of walnut oil?)? Thanks!
Hi Cliff - Thanks for watching. Yes, there are many great resources online for making your own router plane. The bare essentials are two straight rails, a sled, router, and flat bit (bigger the better). I use a 2.5" square flat bit.
+Chris Sita seems time consuming, but for wide slabs like that you'd have to drop some serious cash for a planer big enough to handle it. I'll be making one soon.
Beautiful and inspiring! Thank you for posting.

What kind/brand of chisel do you use? They look pretty awesome! And where can one get this kind of Japanese saw?
You're a talanted animal, respect.
Beautiful

+Cactus! workshop Thanks for watching. Appreciate the comment. I will definitely be making matching benches sometime soon.
Great! 👍👍👍
true craftsman
I love it
Beautiful work .
A small plane can save a lot of time .
If you do not grind the inserts . Planing will give the finish surface .
Nice work.
nice work
Beautiful work.. I have to ask, on the live edge I see bug/ beetle holes...did you treated the board for beetles/bugs before working on it?
parabéns amigo chou
What brand of chisels do you prefer?
What oil did you use to treat the wood?
Beautiful work Chris! Did you only use Walnut oil and does that do a good job with protecting the wood from spills, etc. I'm just getting started in wood working and working on three walnut topped tables, easy in your book I'm sure.

What finish did u use on this mate
What kind of liquid were painted on wood.
YES!!!
excellent work & beautiful result! what kind of bit were you using, when flattening the slaps with the router?
+TheJohdu Thank you. Look for the biggest "straight bit" that you can find with a 1/2" shank. Good Luck!
wow!
that looks awesome. why did u take the bark off? I thought that was the purpose of a live edge. does the bark become a problem if u leave it on?
Bark can harbor insects, and it's not a very good idea to leave it. You can...but only if it's sealed REALLY well and the wood has been fumigated before use.
Muito bom
What music did you put to this? That can also be good working music.
Music by Imagined Herbal Flows: Boardwalk
Thanks man! Great stuff! Listening to it now while working in the shop.
Very Cool. I couldn't make out the brand of oil. Was that Mahoneys walnut oil?
+Country Wood Creations NY Thanks for watching. I did used walnut oil to bring out the color. It was a food safe alternative. Now the table has had time to adapt to the house I will finish it with a water based polly.
great , well done
+DIY Channel Thank you for stopping by.
+Chris Sita you are very welcome
What's not to love here?
What's the specific epoxy product at 1:56? Also what's the thought behind filling checks with epoxy rather than just oiling (looks like the finish was just a rub of walnut oil?)? Thanks!
any epoxy would work, just don't use 5 minute epoxy as you want the epoxy to penetrate deep and fill any holes/cracks
Will that jig on the festool router for cutting the leg mortises work with any router?
+matt Ralli Not that I am aware of, but I'm sure there is a way to hack it. I used the FS 1400 guide rail. Good luck.
+Chris Sita
Mortise jigs for the router out of MDF and 1x1 did the trick.
Very cool Matt. Thanks for sharing.
A+++++++
are you using a router as a planer? cool idea!
Hi Cliff - Thanks for watching. Yes, there are many great resources online for making your own router plane. The bare essentials are two straight rails, a sled, router, and flat bit (bigger the better). I use a 2.5" square flat bit.

Haha. Good luck finding a planer that takes a piece 4ft in length. Best of luck. UA-cam has some great tutorials.
I appreciate the skill in this but must be a fucker to sit people round that bad boy for a bit of haunch you know what I'm saying?.
