Exact same finding him today! Watched 6 vids today

SAme here!! Book match!!!

Popped up today, past fours on my ass, nose in little screen. Perfect!!

[@ninad1263]

Instead of neither, I say "both" -- it totally depends on the wood, the project, the final place it will occupy. Honoring wood (best way I could express it) and elevating it to its "best life" is an artform and everything is subjective. Love the care and thoughtfulness you give to the entire process.

[@CactusFlowerCreative]

Good point! I’m going to change my vote to both!

[@augustoferreira3647]

Bookmatched. Simply fantastic, your attention to detail on the polish makes the difference , and to do this out of you garage without your neighbors hating you, phenomenal! Thank you for sharing.

[@peterswanson7893]

I know this is an old video and I really love your regular tables, but bookmatched are at a whole other level. Great work.

[@salemdrones4907]

Bookmatched slab is the bomb! Thanks for sharing this video. Your artistry and unmatched detail work is what sets you apart from the rest. Keep it up!

I literally got chills when i saw those studio shots of the finished table. you are going to inspire me to woodwork as a side hustle when im older.

Cam, I love the little bits of humour (or 'humor' for you american folk) you sneak in here and there. Strangely, I nearly wet myself laughing after you kindly welcomed any comments that like or HATE your table You do wonderful things, so keep doing them

[@Mark-Book]

Bookmatched, for sure. Stunningly, beautiful table, I could look into those fascinating patterns for hours and come round dribbling into my breakfast porridge.

[@BourbonISvegan]

Boosted by “The Algorithm” 🥳🥳🥳 I would never have found your channel, now gonna watch all of it 😍

[@TheDamWoodWorks]

Thank you for another great video! I was wondering if the black resin ends up being opaque or can it be made to be opaque by adding more dye/colorant? If yours are somewhat translucent how deep can you see edge detail? Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@jonbrinsey1517]

That's exactly what I'm doing now

Book match, slab, live edge, trimmed edge ... I like them all.

[@timothypoarch4447]

I watched until the end and so glad I did. Your work is amazing. Love the way you explain everything you're doing. My son and I are just beginning to try this. We did a very small live edge just a little bigger than a cutting board. lol We now have and will begin on a full size table. We watch your channel here and have learned so much. Thank you for making these videos. Keep up the great work.

[@lauraschutz9485]

My son I didn't realize we both watched your channel until recently. You gave us something extra to bond over, thank you. My dad is a wood worker, he says he's a garbage worker but does beautiful work. Especially with walnut and cherry. I've done a few jobs with oak and poplar. My son and I both watch you and my daughter is now enjoying it. We have many family plans now because of you. Thank you.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Love to hear that!

[@contractorwolf]

bookmatched slab is my favorite, the symmetry does it for me. Just wanted to say that your work really makes me want to spend all of my time in my garage working on wood. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ZelenaBalka]

Same here. And I'm not even a woodworker! And also don't have a garage...

[@ralphgibson3696]

Bookmatched by far is my preference. Maybe someday I can try and make a really small end table in bookmatched form. Thanks as always for the wonderful video. Every time I watch your work, I have that "don't wipe back to front" stuck in my head. 😊

Alright , I feel compelled to tell you to find a new way to flip those slab. I saw the crush landing Save your back man. Im almost 60 and didn't take care of my back , now Im sitting in a wheelchair or walking with crutches. Not wanting to be a downer here. Just take care Awesome talent my friend

[@NoMatterDesign]

I'm 35, same story. Two slipped discs that don't allow me to walk straight or seat for long. No more running, cycling for hours or motorbikes. Often spend weeks in bed almost paralyzed with pain. I wish someone had been a "downer" and stressed the importance of saving my back. I just cringe watching him flipping those dead weights.

[@kevinmorin7965]

Galen, it appears our very talented channel host is in his "bullet proof" years? At 70some I recall those years, and always encourage younger guys, especially those who're in great shape- to be careful, but being bullet proof? Its usually noise to deaf ears, until like so many of us we find the weak point in our body. Then we're 'old guys'!! Hope Cam can have 'ears to hear'- hate to see another young man learn the way we did! On the other hand "true learning only comes through pain!"

Bookmatch, just the way you did it. I am one of the ancients of this world, 75 years old, but many years ago, in Africa, my late husband and I used to do woodwork. Nothing as wonderful as you do. I so wish we had had access to the world of the internet 50 yeaes ago. I find I am now addicted to watching your videos in the UK, albeit with no hope of ever being able to own one of your beautiful pieces.

[@chellakaygraves]

thanks for sharing THE TROLLS!! I'm getting my energy up to start a channel and knowing i'll have "challenged" viewers gives me a reality check. I'm not a woodworker (yet) but the book matched slabs are incredible! I'll save these videos for future reference.

[@patrickfoley7794]

Cam, I love your work, Bookmatched (for me) adds clarity to the natural form, where slab is nature in it’s purest form!! BTW I have 5 planks of cherry that was harvested in the 1850’s (seriously) and the widest one is 18 inches with growth rings almost parallel to the face and every inch of the boards is blood red. My wife wants a dining table made from them.

Book matched. Hey mate, I'm from Australia love what your doing. I recently made some resin serving boards and I had some problems with the finish. I bought a food safe mineral oil from a local supplier. The oil made the wood nice but the resin not so much. Can you buff mineral oil on the resin? What is a finish you suggest for this project?

[@BlacktailStudio]

That’s a tough one. Osmo top oil is decent

[@thomasesslinger4531]

Ok ill give that a try. Also with the resin boards I made I sanded from 240 grit all the way up to 1200 grit, but still see micro scratches. I even brought myself a buffer but those annoying scratches won't go away. Have you experienced this? And anyway you found works to remove these straches? I feel like I'm running out of options. :(

[@theduftmeister]

@@thomasesslinger4531 maybe start at lower than 240 and then build up? If you don't get the scratches out at a lower level, then I don't think any amount of sanding at higher grits will remove them. I may be wrong, but I think that may be the problem. Hope it helps.

[@thomasesslinger4531]

Yes i started at 80 grit sand paper because I had major bumps and straches from the thicknesser. Then slowly went up grits up to 2000 grit (5 hours of sanding, wet sanding). I still see minor straches in the finished product (I believe them to be straches from 2000 grit. Not a lower grit which is good). They are hard to see but i notice them haha. Im starting to research into buffing.

[@thomasesslinger4531]

Thank you for your advice though.

[@brunomelo7426]

Man, your job is so perfect! I love this table! recently i have noticed that it is very easy to leave a mark on the epoxy with odie's oil applied. Could anyone tell me if rubiomonocoat protects resin more than odie's?

Odie’s is not a good finish. Rubio is much better.

Other than the obvious sponsorship, are there real advantages to using the Liquid Glass vs. Ecopoxy?

I am no professional but I just purchased a couple of gallons of both and used them both on different projects. They are very similar but I liked the liquid glass better. It can be poured thicker also
