Here’s a link to the limited run of the Blacktail Studio brass hammer. Thanks so much to DFM and Hoffman for making it possible! https://blacktailstudio.myshopify.com/products/the-brass-by-blacktail-studio
Love it!
QUESTION. How thin can the slabs be after flattening, or what is the thinnest the slabs can be and still be good for making a table.
Using epoxy to join two slabs of black walnut for a 72" x 36" table .
Using 2 C-channels.
Slabs are bookmatched , 88" long,
24" – 16" wide. Currently 1.375" thick and I'm assuming would be 1.15" to 1.25" thick after flattening.
Is that too thin for a full size table top?
You can continue with the Patching process but try to match its grain patterns so that it won't appear as a patchwork or odd pattern.!
hey could you please tell me where you got that table saw from, i would really like to know 😀
PATCH, and try rotating the patches a bit, so they are not all square with the running of the board, kinda like dimondd shaped even though the grain is all runn8ing correctly. 😀
I like both the patchword design and the rouned corners. Among other reasons as someone who occasionally walks into things rounded corners make for less bruising.
Patch and love you! (bro love, of course)
It clashes with the patches.
Patch, loved the video, i really enjoyed how it turned out and the entire process of building it.
Looks good 👍
Those poorly thought out patches could be 1/2" thick max. Simply epoxy fill and Done.
People put a tablecloth over it anyhow.
i think the patches don´t disturb the whole table
but its alot of work for a not so spektacular finish
Patch for sure. I found your channel a few days ago and i honestly love both the processes and how artistic it all is and so i think you should call it a quilted table because the patchwork does remind me of quilt pieces being put together. Either the table looks absolutely amazing
Patch would like to see a patchwork table but instead of wood inlays use epoxy.
Loving the idea of patch work and the end result, I would love to see if a De Stijl design can be implemented to a patching project like this 🙂
I think a patchwork type table would be more interesting if different flavors (species) of woods were used maple & walnut for example
Patches is a nice looking mesa.
I actually really dig the rounded edges, they look slick and I bet they have a nice feel to them. I think that sometimes they way a piece of furniture feels is overlooked
patch, name it; 'self reflection of imperfection' 🙂 greetings from The Netherlands
Patch or no patch: I like the table. Where can you get that new 3M sandpaper?
I think this patchwork looks like the builder actually needed to replace damaged sections of this slab with new wood but failed to make the fixes subtle. It would look more like an intentional piece (to me) if the wood used for the inlays were a contrasting color to the slab, like burled maple would be in this scenario. You could lean really hard into the idea and go with a “pixelated” design, too.
Sorry, I don't like it
Patch! the table is beautiful, though i’d have preferred to see sharp corners instead of the rounded ones
otherwise it was incredible and it’d be great to see more like this in the future
<3
I like the patchwork idea but personally I think it would look better with a high contrast wood!
Patch 😉
Up until that finish got applied i didnt get it. But at the end it comes out beautiful. The finish really gives it this radiant glow and blends it all together magically
Patch
The table top is good. Not sure why they give you grief over the patchwork. Considering the issues the slab had to start, I think it was a good move and makes it stronger. For me, I do not like that type of leg design (I might put a stabilizer in there), though I like more bulky designs with thick tops. Do you ever combine finishes? I start with shellac (brings out the grain better than other finishes) and will often transition to something else; wondering how it would look with the micro finish.
Patch . Imo it would look even better with some greater difference in color between base and patches. Rn it seems like you need to look closely to rly see it.
i really like how the patches look. very nice contrast with wavy pattern of wood grain. looks like a glitch in the matrix
No patch bro; call it ripples in time.
I love this table soo much it is the right amount of traditional and creative!!
