Among many of the other “DIYers” on YT, you have some serious talent that definitely makes you rise above the others. All of your creations are sublime….You have a great eye and great ideas and execution!

[@annschutz6351]

This is without a doubt one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! I sat on my sofa watching this just saying "wow" over and over again. I also really like what you said about 'creating without rules'.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Reading this comment made me smile 😊. Thank you so much for watching Ann.

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

Your projects are always so unusual, unexpected, clever, and creative. Your imagination is astounding. Another gorgeous project. You really are an artist for sure.

[@rosaliefunk1629]

I your patience amazes me. You create pieces art and always have encouraging and kind words for everyone.

[@TranscendFurnitureGallery]

Uhmmm… I cannot even deal with how BEAUTIFUL this is! Holy smokes! You continuously blow me away with your creativity!

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Thank you that means a lot coming from a true artist like yourself ☺️.

[@gracemichalska1540]

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Wow thanks 😊

[@michaeljones3113]

What a magnificent display of the materials that we have around us. I would love to see this creation as a wall hanging or possibly a headboard. Your creativity is a delight to see and enjoy. I look forward to your next video of inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Thank you Michael 😊

[@brendachipman277]

[@UndergroundPebbles]

I haven’t even finished the video yet and this is the coolest most beautiful table i have ever seen. Every step of the way I’m amazed at your skills, artistry and ingenuity. Just wow

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Thanks 😊

[@tme9384]

Breathtakingly beautiful! Not a desk now!

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

I may add a glass top so that it’s usable again. Thanks for watching 😊

[@CopperCactusDIY]

What a score at that lumber yard! So cool you have that locally. Melanie your creativity never fails to impress me! Crazy inspiring piece! I'm dying to try power carving someday, you made it look so fun and easy.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

You could and should try it I think you’d love it. Really enjoyed your video too!

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

This is not just a restoration, this is art. Your talent is amazing and I cannot wait to see more of your work. This is beautiful 🌸💜🌸💜

That’s amazing! 😍

[@paulagrootelaar9005]

WOW! That is incredibly gorgeous! It's definitely high end now! Fantastic creativity. Thank you!

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Thanks for watching Paula

[@laurenceandre7460]

This is gorgeous !!!! It's a piece of art !

[@montsef7912]

Brutal 😍

[@kmarch6630]

How could this possibly be used as a desk or table now?

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Glass

[@kathywiseman7944]

Okay, I like it but how is it saving the planet when it is no longer a functional piece of furniture? There should have been a way for you to have left part of the top flat for writing, working on a computer or eating without spilling.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Ha ha I’m getting a piece of glass cut for top. It wasn’t ready in time for video 😉. Thanks for watching.

[@elenalatici9568]

I am so blown away! That you even thought of creating this out of that little orphan desk is enough. But then you did it. Never in a million years would I have pictured the final transformation. And then there's all the work it took to get it there. It's original, beautiful, and eco friendly. You have just taken furniture art to a skyhigh new level. Congratulations!!!

[@jucknorreyne]

Greetings from Western Austrailia. Started watching and thought this project would be a train wreck. Instead you ended up creating this beautiful high end artistic piece of furniture that looks like it belongs in a gallery. Best thing ive seen in ages.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Hello Down under 👋 Well as a locomotive 🚂 engineer by day it is my duty to avoid train wrecks 😂. Glad I didn’t let you down and thank you so much for watching.

[@emmabaldwin409]

Also greetings from Western Australia, this is absolutely stunning!!!!!!!! Amazing job. There is an episode of Flipping Drawers where he makes his own table from wood. That's stunning too but I love how this is like a patchwork of colours! ❤

[@sharonaliza8984]

You are an amazing artist. I can’t even comprehend how you can envision pieces and then actually create them! This piece is truly stunning.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Awe thanks Sharon. We don’t know what’s possible unless we try right.

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

This is no longer a piece of furniture. It's a work of art! 🤩

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Thank you 😊

[@Restomaniac]

I've never seen anything like this before, Melanie. It's like it belongs to an alien civilization. Very striking! I can't stop myself from looking at it for a long time ❤️❤️❤️

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

I’m so honored that you watched my video. This was a crazy idea of a project and is also one of the few I kept.

[@Redouxinteriors]

Oh My gosh! This is AMAZING! It looks like a beautiful quilt made of rich and beautiful wood. What a great idea this is and I love the collaboration. So excited to see what you do next!

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Thanks Karen! I love these collaborations they always get you thinking outside the box

[@LoriM222]

Wow! At first I didn't know what you were thinking of doing but since I know you are amazing, I knew it would be awesome! I love ANY project that includes many types of wood and you achieved a gorgeous look!!! I almost bought the same piece off of Marketplace, but didn't know what I wanted to do with it, so I'm so glad that you did!!! 💜💜

[@Flippingdrawers]

👏👏👏👏👏 awesome! Will definitely do my take on this.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

You totally should Jay it was fun! Just don’t forget to mention where you saw it first 😉

[@tiffanytrippeer5401]

Beautiful! Love how the businesses work together to reduce the amount of waste as possible and also for you getting the pieces for free. Hope you decide to keep that gem-I wouldn’t be able to let it go. ☺️

[@leahmaclean5308]

Wow mind blown 🤯 When you first started gluing the wood on I was very sceptical 😬 But the end product is beautiful 😍 Awesome job 🥳

[@wendyfaith1048]

GIRL!!! YOU are outside the box!!! I love your style and creativity. The shots of the rock formations along side the finished "topography" of the table top are sublime. This is a solid win. It is a wonder to imagine something knowing that is unique in the world. I'm watching you.

[@noraleestone2859]

Wow. This is museum quality design! At least, in my opinion anyway. Considering I thought it was going top be a hot mess, though, what do I know? ROFLMAO

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

😊

[@annerenta6950]

Wow, just WOW! That is so amazing. I could not even imagine something so cool such as you created. I hope you show this video to the lumber place and to Odie's Oil company as well. I am sure they would be so happy to see their stuff in such a cool piece of beautiful art. All the colors in the wood displayed so gorgeously in this table!

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Thanks 😊

[@staceyloke9872]

So cool! It's like patchwork. I love the different colors. At first, I wasn't sure where your vision was heading, but once you started carving, it all made so much sense! Such a unique piece! Wonderful work

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

So glad you enjoyed watching this one really tested me but was also fun.

[@JuanRodriguez-jn7zx]

A flat surface is more useful for more uses.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

You are absolutely right sir that’s why I’m getting a piece of glass cut for the top. Thank you for watching.

[@angelabstractart6168]

It's lovely and unique! I think #6 is cedar, #9 may be spalted oak. The black wood may be black walnut. Love the burl wood on the drawer and the corner!

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

I think the burl part is my favorite! I wasn’t sure it would hold up to carving because it looks so odd in raw form but glad it did. Thank you for watching 🌺

[@juadonna]

Greetings from Florida! My suggestion for wood species: # 6 Western Red Cedar Very creative ! Love looking at aerial photos and videos! I could imagine being a Red Tail Hawk in search of a wee snack when looking at this.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Thanks I think you’re right that one sure smelled lovely. 🦅

[@julieriggins6957]

Gorgeous!!!!! Awesome talent.

[@lindaroberts8612]

[@janetpaden8878]

I love all the rises and valleys of the piece. Very unique! Numbers 1&6 look like cedar to me. Must admit, it has been years since I was last around wood cuttings.

[@jeanieesajian2325]

I was skeptical until the end. Wow! A work of art. I was hoping you’d do something with those skinny little legs to be more proportional, but in the end it worked. I think you should do more of this type of work. It’s very interesting to watch.
