Watching this video makes me extremely sad. My dad used to do a lot of inlays for fun and tried to sell them at fair without much success. Even when charging something like 1$/h for his time, he wasnt able to sell any. Once I told him he should do a D&D inspired inlay with a skull and we could try to sell them online. It was like 10 years ago. My dad didnt want to do it, thinking there was no market for it and I didnt want to push him into it. Now he has been dead for 3 years, I wish I could show this to him. I still have his scrollsaw and hundreds of feet of veneer sheets. Maybe I should give this a try.
I come back and rewatch this video every so often because it’s just so beautiful to watch. Truly masterful work and it’s so satisfying to watch it come together.
Would love you guys to do more of these kinds of videos again! It's so impressive watching how a piece comes together. Seeing the skill and care your team puts into their work is wonderful.
Dear gods, that wood and metal inlay! I'm willing to bet these have a minimum of 12 hours (not including dying time) put into each one. Truly an artisan craft, bravo!
I am in complete awe. My grandpa taught me woodworking when I was a kid, and I know most of the basics, just enough to spot master level work. This is definitely it. The level of detail and raw dedication you guys put into your products is ridiculous in the best way...no wonder they cost so much. I'm honestly sad that I don't have the dosh to get something right now. If I had it to spare, I'd throw a couple thousand dollars y'all's way.
genuinely masterful work here, regardless if its for a game or not. the attention to detail is impeccable, this should be an example of doing what you love. Just think about it...
WTF!!! This is amazing!! I thought Doug was my favorite brother. I was clearly wrong. this is great artistry and you definitely earned any price you set. Just Beautiful work
Not really jealousy, some people just don't like it, just because you do doesn't mean that everyone else should Everyone else is entitled to their own opinion
You know when i went on your website and saw the prices i was like, that seems a little high, watching this, wow you guys should charge more for the time and work you all put in just for one thing. im glad i watched this, you can see the care and passion in each thing you all work on, keep doing what you are doing. ill be buying a few things here and there :)
Amazing work and detail put into the inlay! I do have a question tho, is there a reason for using a band saw instead of a laser cutter to do the cutting? It seems to me that the same result could be achieved but more efficiently that way.
Amazingly beautiful old world marqutry work, which is why I can't afford it. Lovely to look at though. Maybe I'll win a give away on Critical Role one of these days.
How does one learn things like this? I'm currently pursuing a career in acting so probably wouldnt be able to go to school or anything but would love to learn how to make beautiful things like these or wyrmwood boxes etc so when I do have a SO I can hand craft them things that will be meaningful and more important than if i just bought it because i will have put my work and a little bit of myself into the thing i made for them.
@@denisl2760 I'm familiar with that, I was referring to the hand tool he used to cut or score the veneers at the very beginning. It looks more substantial than a scibing knife. Thanks for the response though.
It's sand. It's heated up, but because of the nature of it, the temperature varies greatly along the depth of the sand, but also very smoothly. So when you stick a piece of wood in it, the deeper it goes, the more it will char, giving it a nice linear gradient for the shading. An added bonus of doing it this way is that the charring penetrates the wood, it's not just a surface finish, so you can still work on the wood piece afterwards, sanding it down, without losing the desired look or having to repeat the process.
Maybe its just me and go ahead and laugh for how I word this, But its almost like no human should possibly have the skill to make something as beautiful as that. Like its something that should only ever be in the hands of the Gods!!
Why did u cut out every part of image, if u set it together anyway? If only reason was to darken some parts, then wouldnt it be easier just to accurately paint it?
I love celtic knotwork it is beautiful but the pattern HAS to be over under over under and you have a few spots that are over over or are under under :( it is beautiful but wrong
As a gamer I don’t care if it’s made out of exotic wood or animal hide Pine with a nice stain will do and at a better price point for the average gamer They are pricing them selfs out of at least 95% of most gamers price range. They do very nice work the average gamer can’t afford
Hello! If you were interested in owning our products we do giveaways all the time! Every twitch stream we do we give something away. :) www.twitch.tv/wyrmwoodgaming
Why do you consider the price [which I don't know] ridiculous? Are you one of those twisted souls who think everything should cost whatever you feel like paying for it? Or is it that you don't understand what you're seeing, and thus you don't understand how the piece is valued? The laborer is worthy of his hire. You may choose not to buy his work, but belittling it is disrespectful. WMK
@@wyntermackenzie4952 saying a product is being sold above what it should be valued is not belittling. They sell tables for $5000 labor+cost of wood+ shipping with similar or lesser* quality to Amish furniture sold at a much lower price (1-3000). Summed up simply, good quality, cool builds, with a price that reflects the gaming gimmick more than it reflects craftsmanship.
@@wyntermackenzie4952 you are exactly correct. I get that constantly at craft fairs with my scroll saw fretwork. Sadly today's generation would rather spend $5 on a plastic one from walmart than $200 from a real artist for a handmade 1 of a kind piece of art.
@@RandomBJJGuy the fact that you dont see how your remark is belittling the artist and his work just shows that you have never created anything of value with your own talent. That's sad, everyone should have that experience at some point so they can appreciate it when they see it.
@@jeffmauldin2841 there is a real difference between craftsmanship and art and these gaming tables. There are higher quality, better craftsmanship tables for better prices. By the way, I do carpentry.
While I appreciate the effort shown in these videos as well as the truly remarkable craftsmanship, but given the state of CNC technology these days, and your guys' budget. I SERIOUSLY doubt this much hand craft is what goes into every project.
It truly does! We just got a CNC to use to cut the blanks for a few of our products but the craftspeople take it from there and do the rest by hand and on products like this we can't replace the craftspeople and their skills. :)
@@WyrmLyfe I appreciate the positive answer. To be fair, my comments came from some place of jealousy. To be making the things that Wyrmwood does, and to work in that environment is a dream that someone like me looks on with envy. Good on you guys for building something, and what you do. You guys do good work making quality products and that's something to be admired this day and age. Besides, embracing technology to improve upon a process isn't something I should look down upon. Have a great week guys!
I really love the way you charred certain ends to make it look like shadow.

please do
@@activistvoorrechtenvankaas2810 agreed
Please do try it!
Woodworking is so rewarding and it sounds like a wonderful way to continue a family legacy. :)
@@WyrmLyfe I am already an avid woodworker, I am just intimidated by
marquetry. But since I just got access to a laser cutter, I may give it a shot.
Oh nice! I hope you do! :D
I come back and rewatch this video every so often because it’s just so beautiful to watch. Truly masterful work and it’s so satisfying to watch it come together.
You have to love doing woodworking to do that kind of inlay.
We do love it! :)
Would love you guys to do more of these kinds of videos again! It's so impressive watching how a piece comes together. Seeing the skill and care your team puts into their work is wonderful.
Absolutely beautiful. How wonderful to know that real craftsmen still exist today. Really wonderful
That was incredible to watch it makes me want to create just seeing the level of detail and care in the making of that beautiful craftsmanship
Dear gods, that wood and metal inlay! I'm willing to bet these have a minimum of 12 hours (not including dying time) put into each one. Truly an artisan craft, bravo!
Thank you!
This kind of woodwork is becoming a lost art. Makes me sad. Wish I had the time.

Love your passion for creating some so beautiful and unique!
:)
That was spectacular. The time and attention to detail is amazing. Well done a fantastic tower.
The scorching on the crossovers looks amazing.
Top fucking marks.
I love ti when Wyrmwood puts out videos like this.
2 dislikes.... why? jealousy maybe? haters? how can a person dislike something like this? its beyond me.
Maybe they couldn't handle the needle file part, kept thinking entire time about how that would hurt and cringed.
@LoneWolfIcy thanks. i agree with that statement lol
Probably had the phone upside down and their attention was to like it.... 😊😂
24 CNC machines disliked this video
Not really jealousy, some people just don't like it, just because you do doesn't mean that everyone else should
Everyone else is entitled to their own opinion
this is oddly therapeutic
It's therapeutic on our end too! :)
Truly mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing this is making me want to set up a little work space once I get my own place.
Such a beautiful project. Such an intensive process. Wyrmwood is reigniting the soul of the master artisan. Absolutely stunning.
:)
woodworking is one of those crafts that make you appreciate high school math, also, Bidet from a Toronto Critter!
I teach math and am an assistant in the afterschool woodshop....all I teach are fractions, tool safety, and patience.
Patience is the name of the game. Hello Toronto Critter!
This is absolutely nuts...what amazing craftmanship!
Thank you!
That's super nice. Great craftsmanship. I have no clue what this is for, but it looks good nonetheless.
Its a box for dices... For a table top game... Dungeon and dragons or so
@@AndroidFerretts a way to have consistent "fair" rolling of the dice.

It's only natural that the beauty of the product is matched by the process.

Wow! Ian, you have beautiful work.
Marvelously crafted & filmed. The slightest explanation however about what is this object, its meaning, and the process we are watching... 😩
If you're asking what he is making, it is a Magnetic Dice Tower which is part of a complete system with a Dice Vault and Personal Tray.
@@WyrmLyfe Thanks 😊
i thought it was dnd but wasn't sure
holy shit gorgeous
This was so zen, I feel like a just went through a guided meditation 😂👏
Absolutely gorgeous work!!
Amazing craftsmanship.
Good job Sir! You are definitely a Master Craftsman.
It is always worth the wait, when they get to the oil step.
So excited to get mine come March
Though it’s not cheap, considering it’s made by hand in the USA it is an incredible value for all the craftsmanship.
Anyone else find it satisfying when the put the finish on the would ?......
Wow absolutely stunning
Awesome, also bonus points for Lone Star Beer!
We have a few beer enthusiasts in the shop. :)
This is insane...in the best way possible
A thing of beauty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful work. What is the finish you use?
Amazing work and detail put into the inlay! I do have a question tho, is there a reason for using a band saw instead of a laser cutter to do the cutting? It seems to me that the same result could be achieved but more efficiently that way.
Wow beautiful
Love it, and the symbols
Amazingly beautiful old world marqutry work, which is why I can't afford it. Lovely to look at though. Maybe I'll win a give away on Critical Role one of these days.
What finish is at the end? Oil, poylurithane, or something else?
In the video it is Tried and True which is a beeswax linseed oil combination. :)
Thats beautiful.
Speechless
This is why god invented stickers... for me, that is, god invented stickers for me because there is no way I could pull this off. Badass man, badass.

nice skill
WAW! JUST WAW!

Lone Star Beer is the best!!
the little pieces you put in the sand??? was the sand heated maybe? what type of wood is it?
The sand is heated too make a shadow on the wood so it looks like it goes under the ajoining piece
@@artnouveau4332 thank you
Holy macaroni thats pretty
Thank you!
Oops, got here by accident. Thought it was about dominatress DIY dungeon for consenting slaves.

No laser cut?
Wow!!
Is this product still available somewhere?
Can you say "Craftsmanship"?
Anyone know the name of that small saw/blade he used at the beginning?
Its called a scroll saw, basically a tiny version of a band saw.
@@denisl2760 I'm familiar with that, I was referring to the hand tool he used to cut or score the veneers at the very beginning. It looks more substantial than a scibing knife. Thanks for the response though.
@@GREENACRES2828 Not sure what he used, but you could give a kiridashi a try! It shouldn't have too many problems with veneers. :)
Can we just talk about how sexy his arms are!
You use a frying pan full of dirt? What?
It's sand. It's heated up, but because of the nature of it, the temperature varies greatly along the depth of the sand, but also very smoothly. So when you stick a piece of wood in it, the deeper it goes, the more it will char, giving it a nice linear gradient for the shading.

Lazer graver!? Why not?
Handmade craftsmanship is an art, pushing a button isn't
9:00 is that maple?
Not an expert, but I'd say yes - possibly 'bird's eye' maple, a type of burl. Beautiful wood.
Bird's eye maple is correct. :)
But they have a laser…?

damn..........
Why did u cut out every part of image, if u set it together anyway? If only reason was to darken some parts, then wouldnt it be easier just to accurately paint it?
Why buy a picasso when it is easier to just print a copy ?
Some people still appreciate the work and craftsmanship that went into this.
Jeff Mauldin bullshit. Overwork dont make thing masterpieces. In fact - all ingenious is simple.
We do not paint, stain or dye our products. We want the wood to speak for itself. :)
49 dislikes? 49 insecure jackasses who can’t even use a circular saw. This is beautiful craft.
