One word. "Insane".

[@fairtex7]

the amount of quality wood going into this cabin is insane

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

I know!

[@ralphlyons8020]

Very nice work. I’ve been a woodworker for the past 34 years and still doing it. I’m impressed with all the younger guys you have working for you. That’s great!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you! We think so too, it's nice to be able to pass knowledge on to different generations!

[@Zynn16]

Absolutely stunning!!! You alls work ethic is second to none!!! All of this woodwork is outstanding!!!

WOW love the dovetail detail.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you! Us too!

[@realpdm]

What an amazing door! And the attention to detail with the install is incredible. The jokers who put my solid sapele front door in ruined it and they actually had to rebuild the entire door! Incredible.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much! and ahhh, we're so sorry to hear that!

[@markcollins457]

I can't imagine skipping to the end to see the finished project. The process to get to the money finish is priceless.

Rare wood and Rare look. Just Love the woody feeling.

[@nouvadevor9518]

Here in Brazil, we have been planting and growing tree species that were almost cut to extinction hundreds of years ago. In some decades, we will be able to legally cut some trees that were no longer available.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

That is incredible!

[@bensnide5846]

Brilliant, hopefully you've planted them in multiple areas not near each other. You never know, forest fires, hurricanes, poachers. I love hearing what you're doing though. Great work, keep it up

[@GrowerTalks]

I'm a drummer, and one of the most amazing, special, rare, exotic and sought-after drum sets ever created was by the German company Sonor, which made a Signature series Bubinga drumset. So I've always been aware of (and in awe of) bubinga.

Beautiful door and the skill to figure out about how to install a door with log cabin being ur pain in the neck was awesome. U are true craftsmen in ur trade. Great job.

Thank you Josie! 😊

[@genelomas332]

So, I recently installed a huge American White Oak door, and new AWO door jamb (had to widen the house frame, cut some of the floor and carpet, smash out the old concrete door sill, and cut the plaster on 2 sides to make it fit) for a client and it took 2 full days, working by myself.. and that was after 2 days of applying the finish to the timbers.. I thought that was too long, but I feel better after watching 4 people work in this door for 2 days.. 😁 A beautiful door indeed, as is the mantle.. nice work guys 👍

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

This has to be one of the most stunning builds that I have ever seen. You have done some magnificent work in the past as I have stated before BFWC crew just amazes me every time with each video. Cannot wait to see what is next. Craftsmen who are afraid to show how things are put together when requested normally don't know what they are doing. Stay safe!

That is absolutely beautiful work. The bubinga door is gorgeous. To me it does look a bit out of place on the front of a (multi million $$$) log cabin but I'm not the one paying for it so my opinion is not too important.
