[@BlacktailStudio]

Great video man! If anyone is curious about my epic failure and what is next, I elaborate a little more in my video. Out 6/2/22

[@EspMaster]

I've been excited to see this project in full for months, can't wait!

[@SawyerDesign]

Thanks Cam! Can’t wait to see your edit

[@GeeZeRFroG]

Can't Wait Cam!!

[@davidguenther8170]

Waiting with bated breath

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

Two days before my birthday. An awesome present to be sure! Even if you consider it a failure. I'll consider it an educational experience as always!

[@ramanshah7627]

Made it here from Blacktail. I'm a consultant and know all too well the impostor syndrome of dealing with people who earn a kajillion times as much as me and make it look easy. Let me say from this work and video making: Cam was lucky to work with *you*.

[@SawyerDesign]

Thanks Raman. That’s nice of you to say. I’m just stoked to work with another craftsman!

[@rushhookhornadventures20]

Are you saying cam was using him?

[@daveparker5569]

Cam seems like a stellar dude. I love his work and videos. But resin tables are resin tables. And that IS craftsmanship. But what you are found doing over here on your channel is often extremely impressive to me. I’m a graduate of James Krenov’s College of The Redwoods, and a longtime woodworker. I don’t get impressed very easily. Keep it up Brother.

[@SawyerDesign]

@Dave Parker thanks man! Really appreciate that. Definitely envious of your instruction. Did you study under Krenov or Laura?

[@daveparker5569]

@@SawyerDesign it was the year after krenov retired. He still came around occasionally. Laura was in her 2nd year and not yet on staff. So it was Michael Burns, Dave Welter, Jim Budlong, Greg Smith (f’ing genius) and Eijler Hjorth-Westh. It was a great experience but you are beyond anything they could teach you in a school. Honestly.

[@VanDerPol]

Since I found your channel, I am was binge-watching your videos. Absolutely amazing! Can't see a reason why over a million subscribers shouldn't be possible for you!

[@user-in1pp6iw4x]

For an older couple, I think this would be a great breakfast table. Love the column! Like epoxy top! Nice collaboration.

[@rushhookhornadventures20]

Came here from black tail studio! I must say this was the best Collaboration I have ever seen! It sucks the table was to high in moisture in the end! I think y’all should work together again but in the same shop, either yours or his!! What a beautiful piece

[@d11rdozer]

SUNBURST - Love your tenacity in tackling the problems from the first iteration. Always find your work inspiring.

[@benabzug-qualityservicesof4118]

Sunburst or slab, both equally beautiful in their own way. I love the complexity of your builds and the fact that your shop is small comes through in you videos. It gives us inspiration to not be limited by your environment. Thanks

[@evilbanaan]

SLAB: I've been watching both Cam and your vids for a while now. Cam is insanely good at his speciality, and you're one of the most creative woodworkers I have ever seen. I'll happily cover shipping to The Netherlands btw ;)

[@SawyerDesign]

I've never seen as pretty of a finish as that guy can put down. Awesome! You're on the list! Appreciate it, Jasper!

[@scrubscriber4911]

Just a killer looking table, getting it that steady was an achievement.

[@donnysarvis]

Sunburst please. Love how you look at this as a learning process and don't look at it as a failure. I need more of this attitude in my life please. The design is just gorgeous, and I'm sure you two will make it happen! Can't wait for the next video!

[@kimmowery-reams5694]

Thanks for taking Cam up on making the base. I learned a few things watching your video! 👍😃 Very nice pedestals, too!

[@dreed5530]

Don't know how I tripped into watching this collab but wow on both parts of this table/wall art. Not a wood worker but enjoy watching the process. The starburst pattern reminds me of some fabric piecing I've done for quilts. I love the way it looks and believe it would make a beautiful table top. Sorry I missed out on the giveaway. Never work when hungry or tired. Congratulations on living in the grey zone. Great place to be. Best to you. Thanks for sharing.

[@GaaraJunkie]

Here from Cam’s video Your work is so creative and fun The trial-and-error process was so much fun to watch as well I hope that you both can recover quickly and do another collab, and with succes🤞 (I’m just a fine arts graduate and artist, but I can say that I somewhat understand what you guys went through)

[@stamperammagash6945]

Respect to you for your compassion, kindness and integrity.

[@matthewmills6463]

Digging that slab. Beautiful work on your part, really like seeing your insight and getting a glimpse into how your mind works when problem solving, I think the slab is a conversation starter for people not aware of how beautiful “furniture” can be when not bought at IKEA, great work!

[@spenserolson7937]

Sunburst for sure! I just feel like having that radial pattern throughout the top and base would really work well together! Amazing build and thank you for failing 😂

[@talegunner115]

Walnut being my favorite wood second is Cherry. Both are so beautiful. I really enjoyed this video. Your skill is outstanding. Great work. Really glad you didn't give up.

[@bretttodd901]

Sunburst - The results speak for themselves on this project. Beautiful work, and it takes a lot of guts and creativity to take on something as complex as your design. I'm glad it worked out!

[@wilsonlema842]

Sunburst yes !!! Love to see great woodworker collaborating on a art/craft project. Beautiful

[@JackFrost-yp1hc]

Sunburst is amazing. I love that you redid it and even made it better.

[@andhaveanadventurewoodwork87]

SUNBURST love to see you learning from version one, and the rework that required. Both are beautiful pedestals.

[@mikebossner6404]

SUNBURST: that Walnut is just beautiful. And your workmanship is really top notch. Really enjoying the videos. Thanks.

[@gabrieljohnson3241]

Radial matched top!! Just started veneering at work yesterday and I am so hooked!!!

[@homersmpsns]

Sunburst just adds a whole other dimension to it. Love your videos. Your work inspires me to do more with my own woodworking.

[@thelastpirate]

Dude... Bad ass cinematography. Much love.

[@jakeramey7031]

Sunburst looks fantastic, especially with the cathedral grain! You don't see too many tables get a V3. Hopefully it all comes together on the next step!

[@Dregg0]

SUNBURST! Wow, what an incredible level of attention to detail and proficiency! I thought I was thorough, but your work inspires me to be more patient in my creations!

[@placating]

Slab! I think the contrast from the 'natural' finish of a slab vs your clean designs is stunning and makes it an attention grabber.

[@malcommc]

SUNBURST is amazingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing the process!

[@richardroy61]

Sunburst. A sunburst shows the creativity and attention to detail of the creator. I make slab tops often but appreciate the energy it takes to match veneers together to achieve the "perfect" look.

[@donpantolonez]

Thank you for the paper recommendation for the vacuum process at previous video. I’ve tried it last week for my project and worked like magic.

[@SawyerDesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nostringsonme7588]

Right on.. both videos were good. I thoroughly enjoyed your perception of the " failure " project.. seems you know there is no such thing as failure unless you fail to learn something.. some lessons are more costly than others.. you both are wonderful and creative craftsmen. ❤

[@johnmcdonald323]

That table Really well done!!! That is over the top!!! Incredible craftsmanship!!!

[@dustinbowen]

Really digging the sunburst pattern. Huge fan of the radial look

[@Cbyrne2009]

The sunburst is awesome. Super slick work.

[@johnathonstephens5668]

SLAB. Blurring that line between craft and art! Love the collaboration idea, too.

[@lizzytgolf1]

You both are so talented especially when most people would give up. Your creative solutions make your builds even more amazing! I love the radial top but I don’t own any slab type furniture and your table would be a prize possession for sure! Thanks for your real life builds I love that you include the failures with the fabulous endings! Thanks for all your inspiration!

[@zackbritton4695]

SUNBURST. Both versions of this table are simply stunning.

[@larrymadsen5860]

sunburst design, amazing amount of detailed comment, jig implementation/layout and processes that i greatly appreciate to help on my woodworking journey.

[@psychoreo]

I think the matched radial pattern would look amazing. Slab tops are gorgeous, but having the radial theme throughout would just be 👌

[@RB-vr7mq]

Honestly, I would be happy with either, but have really enjoyed working with slabs. Seriously I am just blown away watching your videos, as well as Cams. We all already won.

[@dustintilton2198]

Sunburst for sure. Epic table. I am sure a bistro sized top will work perfect. Congrats on the collaboration

[@Bahia_Woodworks]

SUNBURST: Awesome job and I can appreciate the amount of effort and skill that you possess; can't wait to see what Cam has in store.

[@AdamThurman]

Slab for sure! Love that you and Cam are working together on this.

[@johnhastings1874]

Slab! I tell my kids all the time that I never learned much from my successful projects but boy oh boy, I sure learn a ton from my failures. Well done. Many thanks.

[@rice0009]

I watched Cam's video first, so I knew what was coming. BEAUTIFUL table base! You should be proud of it. I'm in the process of building a pedestal base for a marble table top for my mother. It's a repurposed marble porch table top that she wants to use at her new house. The base is all White Oak. Designing the base has been a challenge. No where near as fancy as your base, but it's the first table base, and is acting as a practice/prototype for a circular dining table she wants us to make using some American Chestnut wood her Father had harvested a LONG time ago, and that's been sitting in her garage for decades. We only get one shot with that wood!!

[@X3WorkshopDesigns]

Man this is so good!!! My wife and I would be happy with either sunburst or live edge one. It's always a pleasure to see the great work you do Nick. I can only hope to be as meticulous and detail oriented as you someday. Thank you for sharing.

[@marthawilson4957]

Sunburst is awesome! It's a gorgeous piece. I think the design is wonderful!

[@Emin3m1986]

Sunburst: man, you are taking building furniture to a next level! I’m not a wood worker but I can’t wait to see when one of yours videos are out! Same goes for Cam, I pretty much watch him since he started.

[@blush-n-bashful4790]

Came here from Blacktail. Enjoyed the Collab, and love your work. My husband and I love watching videos like these. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you for what you do. ☺️❤️

[@almsthndsm1]

Personally, I like both, having the radial veneer pattern on both the top and base makes for a cohesive piece, not really drawing the eyes to one specific area, but the live edge slab top combined with your table base evokes the funky, organic nature of trees, lending to the viewer’s curiosity to ingest visually the beauty of another’s interpretation of nature through an artfully created piece, great job, both of you!

[@georgelayton4647]

Sunburst for sure. The clean aesthetic makes it beautiful. Great work.

[@Caboose175]

Slab: I'm a fellow Oregon woodworker and I feel inspired every time I see your videos. I was never a fan of veneer work until I saw what you were able to do with your builds and it really just blows my mind every single time. Your videos are always great and I love how you found your style of woodworking and continue to push yourself to new limits. Keep it up!

[@SawyerDesign]

Glad to bring ya over to the dark side with me. I was the same until I saw it done correctly. Thanks so much!

[@dimatchat1335]

You are a craftsman that creates functional art. None the less you are a great artist, and your design is inspiring. Keep creating brother.

[@darthgumby2264]

SUNBURST for sure! Have enjoyed your projects. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next! Trying my hand at a little metal and tile work for a table. Thanks for pushing me out of my comfort zone to try something I’ve never done before!

[@SawyerDesign]

Heck yeah! Love to hear it. Comfort zones are meant to be broken.

[@pope52]

SUNBURST looks awesome. I really enjoyed this video series.

[@beckerg04]

Came over from blacktail as well, definitely earned a sub, I'm simply ecstatic to see another local woodworker where I can watch, listen and hopefully learn from the videos you post. Definitely entertaining!

[@dans5697]

Radial matched veneered top for sure! Awesome build. So nice, we got it twice! Enjoyed watching your lessons learned and continuous improvement.

[@SawyerDesign]

Thanks Dan! Glad you enjoyed it the second time around haha

[@richardhanvey2789]

SUNBURST for sure. Unbelievable the amount of attention and effort that you put into each layer of the base.

[@ryanmurphy6959]

Radial matched sunburst for sure! Great video!

[@waynepettett2551]

I came over from Blacktail I admire you guys honesty and WOW your woodworking is at another level thankyou for sharing...I for one am another subscriber

[@scottb.2022]

Sunburst, of course. Really admire how you (both) stick to it to get it right. Table looks great and you are a creative person.

[@SawyerDesign]

Thanks scott! too deep to quit at this point haha

[@randalllenoir5853]

‘SUNBURST’!! Can’t wait to see the final piece. Just found your site. Looking forward to watching your content.

[@chipmcnally599]

Slab or sunburst - either would be fantastic. I can only dream of a point of failure as high as yours. I never miss your videos or Blacktail Studios. Thanks for your work.

[@mattattard6506]

SUNBURST. Definitely.. Love the work and the video format.

[@T_B]

Sunburst: I can appreciate the painstaking hours that goes into the math/time/re-math/cuts....etc. This is an AWESOME colab idea!

[@gaberunte616]

SUNBURST. Incredible as always! Thanks for showing us all what you do.

[@SawyerDesign]

You bet Gabe. Appreciate you taking the time to watch

[@johntaylorhosmer-quint8716]

SUNBURST: love the contrasting complexity of the tabletop and base!

[@TWC6724]

Spectacular piece I must say. That’s going to make someone real happy. Stellar work guys.

[@patshipp9195]

Came over from Blacktail and like what I see. Thank you for the entertainment as I am not able to afford my own tools to do wood working, I have many hobbies but wood working is my passion. God bless

[@tlh878]

Sunburst! What a great design and I love seeing what you learned from your first iteration.

[@hydynryk]

Love yours and Cam's videos. so glad to see your work together. Keep up the excellent work

[@SawyerDesign]

Thank you! Will do!

[@justincrawford8102]

Sunburst - I use to hate the thought of veneer but I've seen some really beautiful pieces of antique furniture that uses it with sunburst patterns and other cool designs. Love the work!

[@The4gotNdeath]

I’m here after watching Cam’s video, loving your channel so far! Definitely gonna have to say live edge is the way to go!

[@timmytoes]

Echoing what everyone else has said, this is fantastic! Absolutely delightful and inspiring. If I were to win, as much as I love slabs, I'd go for the sunburst.

[@zakkaryzoah1386]

I subscribed because Cam encouraged it. You are different, but both do quality, beautiful work. You’re both artists. I hope you’ll do another collaboration.

[@Hakuwoodworks]

Definitely a SLAB on top! I am really happy to see you two doing something together!

[@kristopherkellem3983]

SUNBURST for sure. Thanks for all of your videos. I appreciate how much you push yourself and how fearless you are. You definitely have done some crazy builds.

[@SawyerDesign]

Thanks man! Always trying to find that next hardest thing. Glad you dig watching the journey 🤙

[@philcole6049]

Sunburst - persistence pays off - great job as always! Thanks!!!!

[@SawyerDesign]

Relentlessness usually prevails. Hoping this is no exception. Thanks Phil!

[@bogbutter]

SLAB - this is GORGEOUS, and you are an incredibly creative woodworker. I appreciate that you aren’t afraid to just try something new and see if it works!

[@Jreed983]

Slab! I'd really love either actually but I had to pick one! Done correctly they can both be beautiful in their own ways. A sunburst is beautiful to me in the craftsmanship as it is the wood while a big slab of walnut oiled up nice is just nature's beauty on full display in my opinion! Can't wait to see the second half next week!

[@CheveeDodd]

SUNBURST is amazing. Love the design on the base and this one seems super solid all things considered.

[@chippychippy8291]

Awesome, both are great, and congrats on working with Cam

[@Dustins_Woodworking]

Sunburst base is awesome! Great job as always.

[@kathleenmurphy1324]

Slab: Literally just found your channel and shared with my husband. We have just built a woodshop for him and we have been watching all kinds of videos on wood working projects to do. You are now on our list of must see videos.

[@SawyerDesign]

That’s Awesome! Thanks Kathleen

[@Richard.Dawson]

SUNBURST: I love that you push your skills to the limit no matter how much of a time crunch you're in. Too much YT woodworking is about "nobody will ever see this part, so pocket screws are fine". Craftsmanship is about even the parts nobody will ever notice! Love your videos man!

[@hudsonhougen6289]

Sunburst!! I love cams videos but your furniture is more my style, would love to see you make a full piece with all your incredible veneer work. Thanks!!

[@_CoolBreeze]

SUNBURST: I really liked the dove pattern you had going for the table this time. I love watching your videos and see your own design philosophy reflect in your videos.

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

just came over from black tail studio watch the construction of the top .. talk about disappointing. such a wonderful process. thank you for sharing your talent.

[@douglasalomarkley]

great job on the base for that round table. it was all beatiful even though it didn't work out. you two should definitely do more together.

[@shirleybrown920]

I watched the table being made. You men are true artists. I love the " Live Edge" look

[@nickandrews9269]

Slab! Love that the two of you are collaborating on this!

[@justpassinbyy]

SUNBURST this is absolutely a perfect blend of artwork/engineering/craftsmanship.

[@TheSladeRiggs]

SUNBURST , Nick you and Cam have given me the inspiration to make a shop and make furniture. I'm loving it so far and I've made several large tables and some smaller stuff, it's going great. Thank you both for all you do.

[@SawyerDesign]

That's super rad! Happy to share the love of the craft. Congrats on the shop!

[@MegaNumana]

Sunburst! Wow! Amazing work, gotta say that I’m liking the voice over .

[@briancz1]

Saw your collab with Blacktail. I love the table and am not phased at all about the concerns you both had with the end result. I know makers are really hard on themselves; I'm a part-time photographer and am super exacting about my deliverables. Still, you both create beautiful and functional art. Keep doing it!

[@steigmic]

SLAB. My brain melted a little until I saw you blue taping this together. Super creative. Bravo

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

You're choice brother. I love everything you do... Cam as well. You guys are amazing!

[@SawyerDesign]

Thanks man! I doubt this will be the last!

[@zerocool46]

I'm a long time subscriber of blacktail studios I'm glad you did a collaboration with him cause I found another great channel to watch
