Polishing Burnt Wood Like Glass

[@gabrielwright5883]

Hey Cam, I normally love your videos. However, I often watch with my 5yo son. I'm just wondering if the atrocious caulking is something we can expect to continue. Wouldn't want him seeing any more of that.

[@some_antics]

This has got to be one of the coolest tables we've watched you make so far. The reflective finish on the burnt parts looks amazing.

[@CastorRabbit]

It's amazing, all of his stuff is. The gloss char/matt table effect is the single thing on this one project that I probably wouldn't pick for myself. I just think a uniform gloss would have looked a bit better but that's just me.

[@rbgy]

Pro wood worker 27 years here. Wanted to give ya some pointers. Here we go. Just kidding, amazing work as usual. More than the craftsmanship it’s the humility that you show, calling yourself a mediocre woodworker, even though you are certainly not, it makes projects seem approachable and gets people inspired to try. That’s the most beautiful thing we can share with people - inspiration!

[@fatosllabjani1643]

100% true! About a year ago or so, one of his videos caught my attention - since then, I spent about 20K and created my own woodworking shop (for hobby). Woodworking reminds me the time I spent with my late father back in the 90’s, I had completely forgotten about that until I saw one of these videos. I always watch every single video he puts out.

If you were to start your career over from scratch today, where would you start?

[@formes2388]

@@fatosllabjani1643 I'm somewhere in the same boat - I rent, so everything is modulated around that reality but have gathered a decent selection of tools, and slowly figuring stuff out. I'm at the point where I've started selling larger pieces not just small nick nacks and it feels so good to have a hobby that essentially starts to fund itself, and perhaps - one day - become the primary income.

[@fatosllabjani1643]

@@formes2388 good luck man! I hope too that it will become my main source of income some day. It’s therapeutic and you get to see, touch and admire the results of your work. I don’t do epoxy since I noticed that it turns yellow with time - my main focus is joinery (Japanese joinery mainly). I just received my Narex Richter chisels, I can’t wait to put them to use. Have a blessed day! 👍🏻

[@Flyballgovernor]

pouring and buffing epoxy is as basic as it gets. you should know that as a "pro".

[@tysonlewis-maxamow]

Hey Cam, I think a similar charred piece with a “twist” would be awesome. That twist would be Gold Foil melted into the cracks of the charred areas, polished, and then covered by the epoxy and polished to the same mirror finish. In my opinion It would add an elegance to the piece that it deserves.

[@rainbowmeowmix]

That sounds really cool, maybe a variation with silver flake mixed into the resin to look like stars, would make the table look like it had a piece of space in it

[@enhazevibes]

I have never been a fan of epoxy in furniture used as a focal point, but wow. This is the first time it has ever felt natural to me, something that just makes sense. Well done!

[@Steamrick]

Agreed. I hate river tables. But I do love to see epoxy used to create table tops out of slabs that would otherwise be unusable due to the amout of cracks they have - like this one, but some of them even worse. At that point, all the cracks just add personality. The effort put into charring and a mirror finish does add something special, though.

[@cpoller]

Yup, agreed. Epoxy is overdone but beautiful when used properly.

[@arthritisankle]

I think Blacktail stuff is very tasteful compared to a lot of the crazy rainbow glitter river tables that were so popular

[@WGrace]

Something many folks never figure out about successful channels is that millions of people can make good content, but character is the ingredient that keeps bringing them back.

[@breezieb3297]

Absolutely! I barely have any interest in woodworking other than I love watching people passionately make things, so the main reason I keep coming back to Cam's channel is because he's hilarious, he's open with his audience, he's authentic and unapologetically himself, even on camera for millions of people.

[@christopherbedford9897]

Good point. There are one or two build / restoration channels that commentate all the way through and it's just irritating, and there's a couple I love that do no commentating whatsoever (apart from the occasional subtitled explanation or correction when it turns out in post to be necessary) but the Blacktail Studio commentaries really do add to the video and I love it. It all boils down to the presenter's personality and Cam has plenty of that. But of course he does, he's a helicopter pilot.

[@Fire1969Man]

As a lover of anything made of wood, former 25 year GC of my own company and total 40 year woods craftsman. Let me simply say, this is a beautiful piece of art and I enjoyed watching the build. I enjoy watching other craftsmen who actually care about the smallest of details and truly appreciate the process. As well, it’s also nice to learn new tricks I didn’t know about. Some people might think it odd for someone with an extensive number of years in the trade to make such a comment. I actually wouldn’t trust someone who didn’t, as I know from experience and my teachers who taught me. You should always be learning your craft, no matter what it is because materials and techniques are forever changing. That has never been more true than when you’re talking about working with wood. So, thank you for the overall experience and watching your built I did thoroughly enjoy it. Have a good day, sir.

Instead of using a pencil with sandpaper may I suggest a trick I have used with an old electric toothbrush?

I love your work.

Just watched your video and found it very interesting. I'm not a furniture builder never even tried, unless you consider a peice of plywood thrown on top of two saw horses a table. I make walking sticks and canes but watch wood working videos in hopes of picking up tips and ideas that I might be able to use to assist me with my projects. Your "pencil sander" caught my attention as I have had the same problem with delicate areas to sand. I have a suggestion for you that works well for me...a cheap electric toothbrush. Trim the bristles off, put a little heat to the neck of the brush just below the head and bend it to a angle that will allow you to get into the tight area. Using adhesive backed sandpaper ,cut to fit the head of the toothbrush stick it on and you've got a mini sander. Enjoyed your video.

Your approach to wood is quite like carving stone. Many hours sanding. Especially when going to 2000 - 3000 grit,which can be tedious beyond belief. After I’m finished I always think it was worth it. Patiently sanding listening to music. It’s a great way to spend 4-6 hours,or longer making something as you hoped and expected and it turns out even better. Those hours are just a small amount of time in one day. When you arrive at day23 and can call it finished is always a time to celebrate. Thanks for the inspiration, and pardon my rambling.
