You are so creative, very beautiful masterpiece! I hope this video will have more viewers. So nice! I ordered a knife from your link too! Thanks.

[@MattsWoodworks]

@@allaroundtheworld4474 awesome to hear! Thank you for the kind words 🤝🙌🏻

[@gracewalker8035]

Amazing video content you have. This knife looks like it’s made of high quality blade. Interesting!

[@g_albert]

Incredibly nice video to watch, such an informative one! I like the craftmanship on your woodworks. That knife on your ad, it’s uniquely beautiful too!

[@JDMManitoba94]

This really helped me with understanding the polishing and finishing part for the wood and the epoxy I was having a hard time figuring that out

[@adgieem1]

Absolutely stunning ! Not only is the project well done. So too is the video you made of you creating the top. Congrats !!!

[@billrobinson8939]

Im 84, so i doubt ill ever progress this far. But that was a great training video with an excellent presentation. Cam's right! You're great. Love this table

[@1timken]

Never give up. I am 83 and just finished an epoxy river, board room table, 3-piece 26 ft. long. clear resin on pecan wood rimed with walnut with walnut legs. I can so can you my friend

Happy People need to be sitting around this beauty at a bar. It's Art Up Close!!

Great tutorial for someone preparing to do black

[@MattsWoodworks]

Thanks Jeremy!

[@shannongood3425]

Very very impressive with that black epoxy! Well done!

[@MattsWoodworks]

Thank you, much appreciated Shannon!

[@davidalandesigns2964]

Great project Matt, especially like the tips on getting the resin to a high gloss. I think would make a stunning wall art piece

[@MattsWoodworks]

Thank you David!

[@weekend2therescue809]

Thank you for making this video! It was very helpful, I’ve been looking for a tutorial on how to get high gloss on the resin but keep the wood satin. Looks great!

[@MattsWoodworks]

My pleasure!

[@shawnieleaf2277]

Thanks - I’ve been unhappy with the glassyness of resin over my entire project, so have been considering doing a oil/glassy type of thing for my project. Good to know that it works out well. As for your question, I personally would only hang it on the wall if you had made the black a bit more translucent and fix a light strip to the back. Now that would be a show piece

[@jmonsted]

This would look really good as the tabletop for a sideboard table.

[@MattsWoodworks]

I kinda agree, thank you for the feedback!

[@scottfonner]

Well chosen satin finish, lovely finished piece!

[@MattsWoodworks]

Thank you very much Scott

[@sherryleggett1612]

Hanging on a wall would be awesome. Having seen the video of the $65,000 table before this one I would hate to see that gloss black get scratched. It would look awesome hung vertically in a room with a high ceiling. I was typing this right after you asked for ideas and it looks like you had the same idea. I don’t know what you would have to do to mount it to a wall but it looks great just leaning against the wall. What a gorgeous piece! The black is stunning.😊

[@TailEndCustoms]

Great job. I did this on a small knife board I made and it was a pain but turned out cool.

[@MattsWoodworks]

Definitely time consuming! Haha right on!

Thats amazing. Love the glassy look on the black epoxy.

[@MattsWoodworks]

Thanks!!

[@BobBob-eh5sb]

Looks fantastic. Will look great whatever it ends up being. Wall art might be the best. Would be a beautiful table, but you know it’s going to get a scratch or two.

[@MattsWoodworks]

Yea I agree, definitely will get scratched as a table, would love to see it hung on a wall!

[@vik_vektor]

That is beautiful, I'm just about to sand-polish my first ever river table and this was a godsend! Would be a sick bartop

[@Speedster2707]

Awesome piece. Just wondering why you didn't seal the wood with Rubio first and then buff out the epoxy? I would seem like that would have saved you the trouble of that painstaking tape up.

[@rixZR2]

Excellent video and your car detailing experience shows.

[@DerekFromMalden]

Great job polishing that epoxy

[@billrobinson8939]

I have 2 Huusk knives and just gave my Grandson one last weekend. Quality.

[@balllegend8519]

Wow, that'ssome great work! I would use it as a decorative element in just any part of the house

[@exoticmushroomghost3240]

Hey, I love this as a table. I saw the listing on eBay ended with reserve not met, which is crazy to me since it’s awesome. My husband and I just moved to a new house and I know exactly where I’d put it! Is it listed for sale elsewhere?

[@mattrockett9443]

I think it would be great as a high bar table with some stools and chunky wood legs and fixed to a wall with some floating shelf brackets

[@whatsupwithsteve]

It looks great! I'm thinking of doing a thinner version for wall art. That stuff's expensive, you can't do to many without selling some..:)

[@MattsWoodworks]

Agree! Do it!

[@whatsupwithsteve]

@@MattsWoodworks Ok I'll keep ya posted..:)

[@hamiltonleesupply]

Awesome Table Brother!

[@MattsWoodworks]

Thanks!

[@frederickgilbert6914]

I like it a lot. If used as a coffee table the epoxy is bound to pick up scratches though the ceramic will help. How durable at avoiding scratches and how do you maintain once scratches start to appear?

[@MattsWoodworks]

It would definitely get scratched as a coffee table, I was thinking behind a sofa for less use and wear and tear.

[@frederickgilbert6914]

@@MattsWoodworks Super thankful for the reply. Thanks so much. Do you recommend a wipe on Poly as a better alternative? Made one river with Odie's and another with Rubio's + ceramic coat. iI careful no scratches on either but if not...then scratches...Is a wipe-on poly a "better" alternative? KZbin "rabbit holes" are not consistent but your videos seem to be well informed so curious on your opinion on this. Thanks for any helpful comments. Thanks from Singapore

[@mauriceryton]

Beautiful, great job.

[@MattsWoodworks]

Thank you!

[@rich_wood_resin_works]

Spectacular Matt! Forgive me if this is redundant, but do you think I could use my RO 150 for the buffing portion as opposed to buying the Dewalt DA buffer?

[@mandsyoung]

Stunning!

That’s a piece of art

[@bustindustin123]

Do you happen to have a list of the products used in this video? Awesome work!!

[@kencase2179]

I’d love to see that as a table, perhaps in along entry hall.

[@ericthomson6518]

What's the negative of hardness from the Shore D being less? I've never used that device and wondering if I should start.

[@lonnie6785]

Beautiful work

[@maykan438]

I have a question if you don’t mind . I sanded a resin table all the way to 5000, and buffed it with wool pads with meguinar 105 and mirror glaze 2 . It’s super shiny and beautiful but when the light hits the top there are minor scratches how can I fix it

[@maykan438]

I’m trying to see if I can send a pic

[@asador7922]

Matt, just saw your channel and subscribed. Where did you get your metal/copper/pewter colored logos I saw on your cutting boards made? Thanks

[@Broadwayboyd]

Are you worried about warping? For it being a longer piece. Love it and I’m not talented enough to try this.

[@MattsWoodworks]

I’m not, it should be just fine, took all the proper steps finishing out both sides etc

[@Broadwayboyd]

I really want to work with Mappa Burl but it’s such a soft wood it would be an expensive mistake if I screwed it up. But I was told to go after pressure and learn from mistakes. Love your projects and love your attention to details. Black tail studios turned me on to your KZbin channel. Keep up the amazing projects.

[@MattsWoodworks]

@@Broadwayboyd thank you man! Yea it’s definitely soft, I think a good idea for this wood would be to to use a penetrating epoxy first to stabilize and harden it. It limits your stain color choice but if you’re using a clear or natural finish it will work great. I did it on a redwood table on my channel and it was hard as a rock!

[@timdyck8492]

I like wood wall art , it’s a lot of what I do , nothing like this though , looks awesome 😎👍

[@MattsWoodworks]

Rock on, thanks Tim! Ill check out yours!

[@sbb526]

If you sand to 5k grit, then use a 1500 cut polish, how doesn't that add more scratches being a more coarse grit? Also, I always thought the wool buffing pads were to remove any remaining polish?? Isn't the wool pad always the last step and the black, green, yellow come before it?

[@shaunm2208]

Wow great work and thanks for this video great help and tips

[@milkod2001]

Cut it in half for 2x coffee tables?

[@MattsWoodworks]

Not a bad idea!

[@sherrylawrencelewis2544]

Think best think would be a hihj top breakfast bar style table or kick ass waterfall both side coffee table.y opinion. Looks amazing though Sheen's banging!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍 Wish could afford it or even the resin to make something like it.

[@MattsWoodworks]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@roxoriginal732]

Matt I’ve always rated your polishing skills .you and positive couple are on different levels .im actually at a level now where i can get it bang on clear high gloss shine but it does make me laugh when I see people sand up to 320 and throw a load of osmo or odies oil over some pigmented epoxy and call it a day lol 😂and then sell it 😮 But yh man that was well clear perfect job dude .huge breakfast bar I would say would look cool on that piece

[@shaunm2208]

What release agent do you use please

[@daveengland8469]

Epic job once again

[@twistedscissors2]

I can not seem to get a clear glass finish when using epoxy. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@Ace-Brigade]

Honestly I would have got that into multiple tables. Looks absolutely stunning though.

[@genepitkethley2319]

Do another panel and mount them both as front entrance doors, a left and a right opening pair.

[@chazTRAINalb]

Dude what’s up with your planer? Have you waxed the table?

[@MattsWoodworks]

No kidding right, I did a few weeks ago even. It’s definitely due for some serious maintenance. I think that the rollers are super gunked up

[@chazTRAINalb]

@@MattsWoodworks I was planning a bunch of pine a few years back and it was a disaster. A friend helping me worked in a big timber framing shop and said they coat everything with WD-40.. which actually worked lol. Not something I’d do with hardwoods for fine woodworking though 😬. Much respect 🫡

[@koko4620]

Epoxy is a constant state of "I made a huge mistake and should have known better",, I guess that's what experience is all about

[@MattsWoodworks]

Totally, and trust me I definitely don’t want to use it in every project. I try to disperse my portfolio of work as best as I can :)

[@almaolson6369]

I think this beautiful beautiful table would be wonderful as a kitchen bar oh how gorgeous it would be if you could have the bar stools the same the same color with the black resin oh my goodness that would that would really cost somebody's anyway that's

[@alessandrosuppini943]

Hey Matt, do your due diligenece before offering to sponsor a product, it turns out that Huusk knives are a scam!! You better come out with another video warning your viewers of the scam unless you are part of it 😉

[@diaBtus1]

its a shame that, not only did you make a resin table, but you used opaque resin which hid the most interesting part of the wood

[@scottmulholland1329]

Personally I think that contrast you speak of - with the opaque black resin and figured wood is the best part of this overall piece. It not only promotes the sense or idea of a “River” of epoxy but the black color makes the various vanilla to cinnamon hues in the wood ‘pop’ even more. I’ve done epoxy River tables that have very little pigment added making them virtually transparent. I’ve also made opaque “river tables” like the one in this video. Every single table one builds is a small step in the learning process to meet the number 1 goal- to thoroughly please the paying customer. This table taught Matt a number of steps and I personally love that he shared that with us. If you want to pay Matt $8000 to make a more transparent River Table I’m sure he’d have that and the video for you tout suite! Hahaha

[@tombaxter1217]

The beautiful thing about woodworking is that you get to create whatever you want or bring someone else's vision to life. Not everyone is going to like the same things, and that is perfectly fine. It would be a very boring world if we all had identical taste. He had a project and did a great job making it. I'm 74% sure that there is more wood out there in the world that you can use to make whatever kind of table you want as well. 😊

[@michaelproffitt3101]

It would look good as bar

Totally could, bar top?
