I'm glad you posted an update on this table. I went back and watched the original construction on this and the video you did regarding wood shrinkage. Its nice to see that after about 4y there are still NO problems with wood cracks or that the table hasn't "exploded" yet - lol.
I highly recommend applying it with the white pad on your sander/buffer. I did it manually for a long time but it gets hard on your hands. Save your body, time, and it gets the oil in better and more evenly.
I left my floating shelves and mantle in my renovated home raw for a year. I feel like I have a high standard for stains/finishes. Everything i sampled looked cheap and didnt highlight what I wanted. I finally ended up buying a jar from watching you use it after all these years. My wife loves the look. I spread it on a barn door as well and it makes all the knots pop. It still smells like the oil every time i use it which I really enjoy.
I was commissioned to build a casket for a mutual friends English Bulldog - Louie. Picked up some sapele from my local lumber yard and then went on Amazon and purchased some Odie’s oil. Really looking forward to seeing it on the finished product!
Beautiful furniture. Always nice to see them after months and years of use. It's easy to see why Odies is a good product. I've always prefered an oil/wax finish for that warm natural look and feel. Bravo.
I've put this recipe out there a number of times. Sam Maloof finish. master wood worker. 100% raw tung oil, boiled linseed oil and polyurethane, or spar varnish, if you're using it outdoors.1 part each. wipe on 15 mins ,wipe off. dispose of rags into water. I have added melted bees wax to the final coat before for a buttery feel.
I recently started using odies oil and I'm really impressed with it. For large surfaces I hot glue a scotch bright pad to a piece of sandpaper for my orbital sander and use that to apply it. I find it goes much faster.
I refinish tables for a living. Waterlox is the best product I've found. You can tint it w oil based stain. It takes 3 to 5 layers. 2 days to dry between coats. It's a tung oil resin mix. So the beauty of oil. But protection of the resin. Easy to repair and add layers in the future although I've never had a call back.
@@daveklein2826 So, like, you're right. It's his house, and so, he can sand wherever he wants. So, I thought it was funny, and kind of his style, to do it this way. So, I commented.
I like putting it on with an orbital with a foam pad and buffing it with a 7 inch sander polisher with foam pad as well. Top coat it with the odies butter.
really hope that Odie's Oil is as great as you say, because I just bought a small jar in Germany incl post for €88,99. I am making your side tables, and then only the best is good enough🤞🤞. Greetings from The Netherlands
Good too see how your projects are holding up over time. Regarding the crack on the chest, my money would be that someone opened the lid too far and with a “wham”. So the crack started from the top and crawled down to the joint… maybe with a leather strap or something you could hinder it from going all the way back… Amazingly beautiful pieces though!
Thank you so much for this video. I built an oak table and bought the odie's oil to finish it. I love your work and your projects. Do you recommend after 2 layers of odie's to apply on the tabletop the odie's butter or not? And what do you use for cleaning the table if for example you get red sauce or red wine?
Hey Jessie, still not sure if you are sponsored or not, but I do trust your opinions. I'm finishing a shoe rack, painted white, plus walnut lid to go with it. I've made some sample strips before putting any finish on. I was looking at all possible options, as I'm new to the craft. I went on the gamble and got myself the Odie's oil. It wasn't even a close competition. On the looks department, it won by a mile. Ease of use is there. Smells nice! The only question now is what do I do with the rest of the finishes I bought before haha. So thanks for bringing that into my life man.
As I've stated before, given the heavy use such tables get, conversion varnish would be more appropriate than oil-wax finishes. Conversion varnish has now been widely used in the cabinet industry for a number of years now and is a time-proven product. Yes, I know Odie's Oil is one of your sponsors, but there comes a time when one needs to be using products which are specifically designed for such heavy-use pieces. The fact you're having to refinish this table after such a short period of time should be speaking volumes to you. I don't know where you're getting your information about using one gallon of spray finish to lay down 3 coats, but I'd be using less than half of that in my shop for such a piece.
Not only the quantity of projects your able to do with one jar, but ease of application, with the pleasing aroma, I've bought 3 different jars, the original, super, and dark and am extremely satisfied as are my clients
At some point I will pick up some Odies. I use fluid film(lanolin based) to coat most projects mostly because its a multipurpose lubricant I always have around. I don't use polyurethane for anything at this point; doesn't store well, high volume for coverage, single purpose, not particularly cheap.
Bathroom vanities are veneered fiberboard usually. 25 years later they fall apart. Full grain wood constructed properly will have 100 years in that environment. More if you maintain it
It is an amazing product, I love it. Odies works for everything! I cut myself the other day, put some original odies on it….healed overnight. My kid fell on the swing set, sprained her ankle, pulled out the ace bandage and some odies…lather and wrap later, she was doing handsprings in 2 days! Have a teen with acne issues….odies! Arthritis acting up….odies! Getting migraines? A little odies on the temples and you are good as new! Seeing ghosts at Christmas? A little odies on your potato helps you digest it better and boom no more ghosts. Worth every penny you will every pay!
I had an issue with odies oil , it basically solidified in the jar , was told from them it was from improper storage , expensive lesson ...., have you ever had any issues ?
after i saw one of your earlier videos i was shocked after looking up the prices. but wherever i ended up it was much more expensive then the 60 bucks. maybe its a logistics thing :) as im located in europe.. Ended up mixing my own finish, i wouldnt sniff that one though.. that said i needed something outdoorsey anyway. for my carvings. and i got sick of overpaying for things. the odies oil looks awesome on your table. no doubt its good stuff. just out of my budget for what i need. keep up the good work! ive learned many things from you over the years. 💚 all the best to you
@@pag345 i found the odies in a german webshop as well, if recall correctly it was over 100. probably because its imported. the osmo isnt doing much better im afraid, i guess im just a cheapass. the stuff i made myself cost me about 11,50 euros per liter and i still have ingredients left to make more. Its really serving me well and like the odies oil u need like next to nothing. i used beeswax, terpentine oil and boiled linseed oil as main ingredients. i used to just use boiled linseed oil mixed with mineral spirits.. but it got quite repetative applying multiple coats and waiting for it to dry. also my sculptures still dried to fast resulting in pretty big cracks at times.. the stuff i mixed now is pretty much what i need, i dont think anything can beat the 11,50 for a liter. Its all natural just the terpentine oil is bad to breathe in. i only use it outdoors anyway but it is something to keep in mind. Thanks for the suggestion though, i appreciate it
Table looks great! Question though, would you recommend Odie’s Oil for a table that’s made with epoxy as well as wood? Cheers! And keep it up man you’re killing it :)
I don't spray fimishes. I do it the better way of hand apply and rub out and repeat. One gallon was enough for a mahogany dinner table i built many years ago.
We have an old table that has been in the family a couple generations. It was recently refinished and I think the Odies oil would have been a better choice. Have you found it to work well on Maple?
I made a bed and two end tables out of spalted and birds-eye maple for my young daughter 6 years ago. I used Odies oil on all of it and haven't had to re-coat. They still look and feel great.
As long as it has a oil finish and not varnish or polyurethane you should be able to add the odie’s to an older finish. Do a test spot on the back or underside of the piece and leave it for a couple weeks to make sure it doesn’t react with the original finish.
I have subscribe to you for many years and always loved your channel. I then got a little concerned when you started to push Odie’s on almost every build video. So, I wrote to Odie’s to inquire as to the value versus cost. I have been woodworking over 50 years. I think someone from Odie’s tried to call me back but we could not connect. I have tried virtually every oil, wax, blends, sprays, hand rub finishes ever available. Odie’s may well be the most expensive. However, I was getting ready to actually try their product but then I ran into a fella selling snake oil and I am going to try it first. Steve
@@TheSamuraiCarpenter what's that mean. You wou rather pick up stuff dropped through the middle of the table, to get artsy fartsy? With kids? I mean wow.
I used Odie Oil on my walnut table. Wasn’t real happy with the outcome. So I read the instructions watched all the videos did it again the way they suggested. Still wasn’t happy with the look so I put the Odies wood butter on top of it because it says all these products can be used together. It looks terrible. From one side where the sun is shining on it it looks awesome from the other side where it’s shaded it looks blotchy and really bad . Maybe it’s something I did or maybe it just doesn’t agree with walnut. I don’t know. The Walnut that I used has a lot of ray-flack and interesting features
So this is a paid promotion For Odies Oil ? I have no issue promoting products you believe in.... BUT you need to be up front about it :/ Have you tried Osmo ? its equally expensive, but I love it, and it does go far. Any comments how Osmo and Oddie compare ? I feel comparing it to poly is apples and oranges
Sir I have been watching you for years. You are so freaking talented. I've learned so much you. You are gifted! Thank you for the content.
I love that you live your life with your family and don’t worry about the little things that don’t matter❤️ best way to live 👍

Exactly as it should be. The harder you and the family beats on and marks up table the more beautiful and storied it becomes.
I highly recommend applying it with the white pad on your sander/buffer. I did it manually for a long time but it gets hard on your hands. Save your body, time, and it gets the oil in better and more evenly.
Daily Stoic! I'm all about it.
That bathroom piece is lovely. We've had wood in the bathroom for decades; it holds up nicely if you don't keep your bathroom a humid cesspool.

Great table! That’s an incredible piece of wood 🪵!
I’m with you Odie’s oil is the cats meow of finishes I’ve been using it for years myself. keep up the good work

Love to see a video of you making chairs for the table
Those dents and dings are a history of your family at the table.

Odies for the dub!!
When hand buffing wax based finishes, try using burlap over cotton. It's an amazing difference in sheen!
What's the difference? Is it shinier? Deeper? Please describe.
@@xinavaneify It is shinier and deeper. Its like the wood itself gets shiny.
My guess would be it's throwing open the chest and the heavy lid pulling backwards on the grain might cause the crack in the chest
yup. throw a piece of hemp rope on it. would look cool
At some point I will pick up some Odies. I use fluid film(lanolin based) to coat most projects mostly because its a multipurpose lubricant I always have around. I don't use polyurethane for anything at this point; doesn't store well, high volume for coverage, single purpose, not particularly cheap.

Did you and your family buy another house near your off grid property or are you renting for a bit
I have done some major sanding in the house many years ago, wife" never again".

If you are in Europe, maybe try pricing Osmo oil. Its similar to Odies I believe, and made in Germany, so you may not have the crazy shipping.
@@pag345 i found the odies in a german webshop as well, if recall correctly it was over 100. probably because its imported. the osmo isnt doing much better im afraid, i guess im just a cheapass.

@@pag345 i call the stuff mathieu's secret sauce, altough the recipe is not a secret lol
When are you guys closing? Where is all the stuff going to go while you develop the new place?
Does Odies hold up well in a conjugal setting? Asking for a friend…
I would guess it’s not viscous enough. Coconut oil is the way to go for sexy time.

Yeahh!
“My wife’s not here 😂🤣” I’m “the wife “ and if my hubby didn’t vacuum I wouldn’t be thrilled 😄

Not part of the sale? Are you still living in the sold house?
my wife would kill me, if i sanded without a vacuum cleaner... exactly my thoughts! ;)
Does anyone know where to buy some Odies Oil in Australia? I had a look a while back but couldn’t find it
Did you sell it with the house or is it in storage
How much stuff falls through the middle of that table?????
Have you used Odies for any of your outdoor projects? If so, how does it hold up over time?
Longest commercial I've seen in a while. Sounds like good stuff.
Ladysmith here , hey I own some antique furniture and wondering if oldies would work on this dry woods ?
Absolutely
As long as it has a oil finish and not varnish or polyurethane you should be able to add the odie’s to an older finish. Do a test spot on the back or underside of the piece and leave it for a couple weeks to make sure it doesn’t react with the original finish.

Shellac is natural, affordable, thinned with ethanol. Food safe.
So many great creations but for me the rocker is the pick of the litter!! It is a sculptural beauty! Did you do a video of it? Thanks
I guess I just watched a 20 minute ad
There is no doubt Odie's oil is a good product.
teak oil and bees wax?
hmmmm should we leave you and Odie alone? LOL
Seriously I am looking forward to some more cabin Vids!!
Odie's perk; ventilation not required...
