Stump to Table - Woodworking Projects

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 youtube.com/post/UgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR… 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!

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.

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!

Best employee, no sick days, no vacation days, never talks back, never asks for a raise, always gets the job done.

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.

Gorgeous! The table and the cat, Turkey.

Love the bow ties with the cracks absolutely beautiful wood! (Turkish walnut) Thank you!

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.

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.

Turkey…..I love all you projects & always watch to the end. Great job as is, would also love to see it with epoxy, I love Safire, but not opposed to black. Keep up the good work, you are more interesting than watching television.

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!

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.

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.

turkey, this is easily one of my favourite pieces that youve done, its just so different to all your other tables and its goofiness is what makes it cool, carving a table out of a single block of wood has something special about it that gives it character, also love being able to see the endgrain on a table which is unusual.
keep up the great content

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, 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

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.

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
