Unique DIY TABLE from old Wooden Beams

[@billwendt9571]

Only you and Olivier Gomis have the patience for this type of project. Maybe you and he should collaborate on something. You know, ship it back and forth between countries and film each part. After watching ALL of your videos, you have so many cool ideas and professional execution that puts Cam and Blacktail Studios to shame. Keep it up.

[@marmotaworks]

It would be amazing to collaborate with Olivier Gomis; his wormhole table is incredible! Cam also does a great job-I’ve gotten so many ideas from his videos.

[@dang6832]

To stain or not to stain. Win win either way this time. Very nice.

[@marmotaworks]

Thanks!

[@mikebrooks6822]

This is stunning, I'm glad you stayed with the non-stained wood,just the finish.

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you. Almost everybody prefer the non-stained wood

[@chineduchikwendu5097]

Complex builds with simple equipment

[@marmotaworks]

It is not necessary to have the best equipment to do good work... But I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't like to have the best tools, they make everything easier.

[@chineduchikwendu5097]

Marmota is not in this business for simple builds, I love his craft for it. Super talented.

[@marmotaworks]

Thanks!

[@kjw1856]

By far my favorite design… love the “natural” patterning. Mesmerizing!

[@marmotaworks]

Many thanks!

[@ctfddftba]

In quilting this shape is called the “apple core”! Would love to see more quilt/sewing shapes in your projects!

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you! The truth is, I have no idea about quilting either. I will search for it, maybe I'll come up with some ideas.

[@kriskossack7231]

There really is a lot of quilt patterns that can might translate well into a table. Log cabin could be a good scrap wood project, though you probably want to reinforce it from the bottom just in case. Drunkards path could be really cool.

[@leewitte4580]

Yes!!! I was coming to say the same thing!!!

[@ingela_injeela]

Yes, Log Cabin with lighter and darker wood.

[@weepair2]

These videos just confirm that I am useless. I admire your work greatly, well done mate.

[@marmotaworks]

Thanks! But I highly doubt you are unless

It is so refreshing to see a maker that doesn't have a shop full to expensive tool and yet makes the most delightful projects.

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you very much.

[@Phil4013]

Absolutely love it. Idk what it is about the design but it’s so cool! Whimsical like out of a story book. Absolutely beautiful work. And the natural tone was by far the best choice

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you very much for your kind words.

[@ghosthand8119]

I loved the finished product, it's a very beautiful table. Videos with the voice over are much more entertaining and informative. Watching this one and the wierd wood one I like other one much better.

[@marmotaworks]

I'll keep the voiceover

[@NothingByHalves]

This is the type of project I would aspire to if I had access to the workshop and tools, although I would run into impatience with all the cutting and sanding roughly five blocks in 😂 The finished table is beautiful - great choice on the natural finish and the steel legs too. Might have a little daydream and imagine that in my home. ☺

[@marmotaworks]

Thanks! It still for sale... 😉

[@NothingByHalves]

@@marmotaworks I could only dream right now... but in the future, who knows... ☺

I love your products. The slits in the original log made an interesting accent, along with the shape you decided. Pretty cool.

[@Just_Smile-n2w]

Natural! IMHO, you made the right choice. Just beautiful

[@marmotaworks]

Almost everyone has the same opinion.

[@bamereg]

Great design and craftmanship, as always. No stain was a good decision.

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you! At the moment, almost everyone agrees that not staining it has been the best decision.

[@drsmahmad1730]

You have crafted a beautiful table from old wooden beams. Wood is my favourite material for furniture and I enjoyed watching your work. Such a piece could be made into a headboard for a bed. That would be a very unique bed indeed!

[@marmotaworks]

I'm glad you like it!

[@Z-add]

This can easily be wood wall art.

[@starjared12345]

Wow.. I liked the natural look better than stained. I really like the tessellation pattern.

[@marmotaworks]

Nobody chooses stained. Thank you for watching!

[@kriskossack7231]

Without Stain looks prettier to me. Awesome table! Would be great in a sewing room. Would inspire you to keep quilting 🙂

It’s so beautiful I would put the table top as an art on my wall

[@marmotaworks]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

[@Nickle314]

I like it. I've been thinking about how you could make it efficiently using a CNC. The best way I can think is to cut the blocks off. Then to screw them into a plank of wood with two screws. The bottom will be the bottom. Now you can put that on the CNC, and hold the plank down. Now you can shape the sides, and get all top sides flat and to the same thickness. Repeat until you have the required number of blocks.

[@marmotaworks]

I don't think this is the best project to do with a CNC machine.

[@Nickle314]

Check out "Penrose Tilling". There's a shortish article on Wikipedia. Some of those tilings, coupled with your end grain slices, plus epoxy could be very beautiful. The English woodworkers used to Oyster Veneer, with similar effects. But for some of these patterns, CNC cutting of the shape strikes me as a good choice. I've another question. Stength. I notice in one of your projects you re-inforced underneath with steel. What was your decision process on that? Were you assuming wood was weaker that epoxy, or the boundary? How many pieces can you have before you need to reinforce? @@marmotaworks

I'm glad you're going to use my idea. Although it can also be done with regular epoxy, I prefer to use Deep Pour, it's safer.

[@vinayakc21]

Beautiful.. I really like your work, it’s awesome always.. I m not a woodworker, so may be a stupid question because of my knowledge.. but these 2 questions are bothering me- 1. Is the bond so strong with epoxy to hold all these wood pieces together? There is hardly a space between the blocks for epoxy to fill in.. 2. Why to sand the saw mark on the edges and smooth it? It will actually help for a stronger bond.. isn’t it??

[@marmotaworks]

Epoxy provides a bond as strong as wood glue. I sand the saw marks for aesthetic purposes

I appreciate your response to my first question about the type of epoxy to use. I had a successful pour. Now I’m working on flattening. I have a brand new Frued 1 1/4 mortise bit. Used that to flatten the bottom. I went slow but still got some tear out on that end grain. I want to do better on the top. I’m looking for a bit recommendation. What do you use?

[@marmotaworks]

I use one like this: www.fraisertools.com/en/spoilboard-surfacing-cutter-tornado.html I recommend making slow passes and using the router at maximum power.
