The guy working the chisel just scared me, one slip and he’s lost a digit

[@AnEvolvingApe]

As much as I like Canada I'm not really liking the table but Charlie still gets my thumbs up.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Well thank goodness for Charlie then hahaha

[@theJohnGaltLine]

The Rogen laugh was solid. Also the maple leafs on the red background ended up looking awesome! It might actually be my favorite I've seen you make so far. The red sections almost look ethereal. Very cool effect and color combination with the wood. Definitely earned a like!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Nathaniel! Glad you like this table so much!

[@jimmyrk3]

Wow, maple leaves on red backgrounds are magnificent. Great choice.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much!

[@fairtex7]

This table is actually crazy underrated.

[@DizzyNitram]

Whoa, now Joe's is a face I hadn't seen in a while

[@twindadcreations]

That Seth laugh was spot on 😂

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Hahaha I know 🤣

[@alfredthor1218]

I'm Chinese and i love red. Outstanding work guys.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much Alfred, gald you like it!

[@TheArtificiallyIntelligent]

Seems like it would be way easier to use the CNC to route out the recesses for the mounting plates.

[@abydosianchulac2]

Or the handheld CNC unit they've shown before.

[@cortlandhunt4721]

It would have taken more pour’s but if the leafs were in different levels like they were falling would be even cooler.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

That would be cool!

[@corrinahernandez5219]

Omg I can vision that and it would of been beautiful

[@1104rgm]

I love the style of the legs. I'm so tired of seeing metal legs installed on river tables. This looks so much better

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Ron, yeah it's a nice change!

[@TheMonkdad]

I’d love for them to revisit this specific table after a year or 5 just to confirm that the color is just as vivid.

[@roberta.brokaw3829]

I know that I've said this time and time again, but BFWC crew are artists. Hands down you keep coming up with some of the most beautiful designs and execution of product. Stay safe and I still hope someday to own something from BFWC.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Robert! We hope we can build you something one day!!

[@davecurda2350]

Oh man I love the red maple leaf table 🇨🇦

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Dave!

[@karenfanias9760]

I’m not a huge fan of the red resin but it suits this table and looks amazing! The resin legs finish both pieces perfectly. 👍

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Karen!

[@seantwomey396]

You did an exquisite job with the red resin and the maple leaves. I love the interplay of the light with the natural grain of the wood.

[@funo6581]

Love the maple leaves. It’s nice to see a different design. All your tables are beautiful.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much!

[@dougk5456]

That maple leaf table is beautiful. When I was a kid on the farm there was a small stream that ran through what we called the bottom land. When leaves would fall they would eventually end up sinking to the bottom and the clear water would flow over top magnifying the texture of the leaves and making the color very bold. That table reminds me of that stream with the leaves.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Wow! What a nice memory tied to this table! Thanks for this comment Doug!

[@kentboys5017]

I really like the maple leaves in the table. It is a nice touch for the table. Looks great. Thank you for sharing.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Agreed, it's a very nice and uniue look! Thanks so much!

[@stevemcfarland4661]

The red one is great with the leaves

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Steve!

[@mariajackson4829]

My favorite woodworking video. I love the tree trunk bases

[@MikeHarris1984]

That red is a freaking cool color... looks almost like you are pouring a bright red blood.

[@ScottRedstone]

Yet again. Something new and interesting. Time for some really slow motion pour videos. It’s satisfying to watch a slowly advancing wave cascading by into an indent. The meniscus inexorably conquering the front between wood and resin. The way he handled the chisel - chemist I think knot.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha okay, slow motion resin pours coming up!

[@rumpple4skin976]

sweet tables great work guys like the leaves idea great way to preserve a great tree from a great country

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much Tim!

[@patriciaharkin1571]

2 beautiful tables but the one with the leaves is stunning.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much Patricia!

[@lindysmith13]

That leaf table is so beautiful.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Linda!

[@SteveInPalmSprings]

These tables are quite literally works of art. The embedded leaves are magnificent. The video shows a few hints of the true craftsmanship that goes into your work. Bravo!

[@nancyreier1070]

Love the designs u come up with, beautiful.

[@xixiliu7175]

The design of this maple leaf is so romantic！！！！！

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you! 🤩

[@nicholasnews5983]

Guys well done you are doing immaculate work 👏 from south africa 🇿🇦 👏

[@ricci4878]

Hi there i'm from 🇿🇦 as well would love one of those tables. These guys make the most beautiful tables to expensive for me 😫 I wonder if you shipped a table to South Africa yet

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much Nicholas!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

@@ricci4878 I don't think we've shipped one to South Africa yet actually, maybe soon haha!

[@Mary-he1od]

Love the maple leaf table, the color, the design/legs, everything - absolutely gorgeous.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Mary!!

[@kurtc6372]

Beautiful absolutely beautiful!!!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Kurt!

[@shanedevlin6097]

That table with the maple leaves is amazing my favorite yet.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Shane!

[@S___________D]

Amazing project! For the main house table, I would have swapped the legs between them as it seemed to match the river with the table top, but still, great work!

[@brucemaher7621]

I have done this with my daughter at her school when she was younger..the kids made Coat racks with Gum leaves and Cootamonda wattle flowers...she is now 31 years old and there are still one of the coat racks around...(about 22years ago).. The leaves a just dry brown now but still look good..

[@brenturquhart7090]

I guess if you want to keep the colour you need to find some realistic artificial leaves. There are some pretty good ones out there, you just have to look for them.

[@josiecapps2555]

Bordeaux..one of my fav colors! This is fabulous guys🇨🇦🤗

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

It's a beautiful colour! Thanks so much Josie!!

[@nickeyroe2389]

You guys are so creative. Well done, you rock!!!

[@jeanhorne5893]

These tables are awesome and beautiful.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Jean!

[@John-pn7bh]

Very nice tables. I like the red one best, maybe because I'm Canadian.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha good choice!

[@robinrobinson4457]

Awesome craftsmanship. Truly beautiful

[@rustysmommy50]

Just the most gorgeous and flawless work!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much!

[@Zynn16]

That maple leaf 🍁 table is 🔥

[@metropcs7560]

This is gorgeous, amazing, breathtakingly beautiful!!! If I had a house big enough, I would get a humongous table, I have always loved your work. I sent your video address to Chateau Diaries because they own a forrest and maybe they could get some ideas from you all.!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much! And wow, thanks again for sending our channel over to Chateau Diaries, that would be such a cool collaboration!

[@davidgomia3719]

Amazing job done on these two tables. Great Job Guys.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you David!

[@Bmanfresh]

That would be so cool if you guys saved the cut offs from the table that you cut off the sides and either lay them the other way next too each other and then make a table like that . Assuming you have some wood in the cut offs.

[@johncotton866]

Great video!!! Enjoyed seeing you and the team make both tables. As always, highly satisfying to watch a job being perfectly executed. The leaves really look outstanding. Keep up the good work!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much John!

Very nice. Great job guys.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Gene!

[@inflationstation1]

Table looks awesome, thank the lord that you’ve retired that mullet. 🙌

[@cattac6]

Another great job from BFWC. However I have 2 issues. 1 If laying maple leaves in the table should the timber for the table be Maple too, or you can ask why is there maple leaves falling around a clero walnut tree! 2 i was not keen on the black steel mountings for the legs, something with a little more finesse would be good. I understand the fixing needs to be strong but should not look so utilitarian, takes away from the magnificence of the timber work. Thank you Guys, brilliant work as ever. Cheers Michael.

[@lydiakaul4703]

It's as though time stood still. What a beautiful way to preserve the beauty in nature. Thank you for sharing your craft and skills. A true masterpiece of art and design. Hands down simple magnificent. God bless you and your families. Looking forward to watching your next video.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much Lydia!

[@danielseverson3173]

I think it might have given the middle two thin layers with leaves suspended giving the table a more layered depth effect.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

That would have been pretty cool!!

[@steveluepke9654]

Awesome table

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Steve!

[@cherylholt-boyd7050]

[@carlamarie8680]

Just beautiful 😍❤️

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much!

[@ClaraLawrence]

Simply stunning! Love seeing the team work and of course the results. Wow! May I ask. Where were the table leg mounts made. Simple but gorgeous solution.

[@theresagrosscup1968]

Been missing KZbin because of health issues. I missed Charlie. I know you wouldn’t remember but I had a golden retriever andmini

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Glad you were able to watch this one, hope you're doing okay Theresa!

[@kurtc6372]

Wax paper, what a great idea. I’m assuming the wax coats the leaves and helps preserve it.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Yup!!

[@myronnisiewicz5448]

So I just recently found you guys and I have been binge watching since! You guys do amazing work! Maybe somebody has asked you this before but can't you program your cnc to cut out the pockets for the leg mounts? I am a cnc machinist and I see you guys routing out all these pockets by hand when you have those amazing machines!

[@brianmoreau8386]

As always WOW!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Brian!

[@ukhairybear]

there is nothing you guys cant do, the table and I also saw on Instagram a guitar...............amazing 👍

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much Chris! And yes, that guitar sure is beautiful!

[@RandallMorris222]

The tables are beautiful! I do have a question about the pour. I saw some very attractive holes in the slab that made me concerned about trapping pockets of air. Is that ever a problem and, if so, how do you deal with it? I can imagine putting awls or screwdrivers down there to release the air pockets, but I don't know that is practical with resin.

[@DrivingWithJake]

Great video as always. For your blocks, have you thought about using polly blocks so you don't need to tape them?

[@carlosmiranda479]

Felicidades buen trabajo

[@kennethallen1155]

Why would you not use the CNC to put the cutouts for the mount?

[@frandoyle5608]

Why don't you use the cnc to route the holes for the legs?

[@roneshrughununan8634]

Awesome! How much would one of these tables sell for?

[@arkangel3231]

on your tables do you finish the wood before you before you buff the epoxy?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

We flatten our slab on the CNC and then sand it and then finally finish it as the last step

[@sandraivkovic739]

Is this a special scotch tape or one that is intended for resin?

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Great looking table. The leaves really pop. I realize the leaves are encased in resin but do to how thin they are maybe a few will break down due to decomposition? What do you think? Again, great video as always.

[@arthurised]

I doubt it as there is no oxygen, carbon dioxide nor moisture to compromise the leaf.

[@jumpingjacks5558]

@@arthurised I tend to think there are still decaying processes going on and would decay one or two leafs at a time. I'm unsure how long it would take.

[@kha0sv4ktor72]

at 7:28 these spots on the pieces. Were you filling in some voids there?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Yup, that's exactly what we were doing!

[@TheAcarr6]

Very curious - lots of talk about C-channels, I notice you rarely use them (and many other skilled makers rarely do too). Is it because of the thick steel top plate you use on all your legs? I would think that's going to hold any minor movement.

[@cadet526]

Do you pop the bubbles after you pour?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Nope, they dissipate on their own while it's curing

[@coryr3565]

seem to be missing a step. Could you explain!? at 5:16 you show how you poor the resin and the taped blocks are attached to the table top so that the wood does not float up. I get it, BUT 5:58 you show banging those blocks out of the cured resign as you de mold! So HOW do you fill those hole created by those block that have no resin under then? Or WHAT is the logiv of over filling with so much resin (seems at least a 1/4" on this table) if you jsut end up CNCing it all off?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

We don't we plane it all down on our CNC. We over pour to fill all the small cracks in the wood so we don't have to go back and have to do it after

[@cheskydivision]

I feel bad for not liking the table more. I like the idea of it but I think the colors don’t work for me…. Josiah❤️

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

No worries, to each their own! 😄

[@brenturquhart7090]

Will the colour of the leaves fade as time goes on. Wouldn’t fake leaves look better?

[@brucemaher7621]

Read my comment...maybe..

[@bill48m]

not a big 'maple leafs' fan. boston bruins but the tables look good except for the leafs.

[@SnorrioK]

8:10 - Why have a CNC table and then use the by-hand method?

[@bmcdoobie835]

What are you going to do when someone calls and wants one in blue and white?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Make it

[@Coco-qz7fn]

Canadian theme in Texas? Sacrilege! Lol

[@linachouinard9055]

why not just use the cnc to route the leg plates

[@timothyshepodd7826]

If you have the leaves freeze dried, you get all the color, none of the moisture. Blessings!

[@THANATOSIXU]

I would have bleached the leaves for a more canadian flag kind of look.

[@AdzOwnz]

Comment for the algorithm

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Adam!

[@MikeHarris1984]

Why don't you cut out the leg pockets on the CNC and not take a bunch of time and energy to use the router for those pockets. Then just clean up the square corners with a chisel.

[@Xanderbelle]

If the pour is opaque could you not use a cheeper fill ?

[@jackthehat2398]

1st?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Congrats!

[@iolithblue]

Leaves in red glue, with square legs. It's like a 13 year old kids craft project. Zero design skill

[@markheld995]

That is one ugly table.
