This Forgotten Wood Was STUNNING

This wood slab was buried and forgotten. I took this hidden secret wood and turned it into a $7000 dream desk. This live edge slab walnut desk includes a continuous grain tambour door. The desk sits on a Fezibo sit stand desk base.

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@asifaliasim1]

It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

[@steveferguson1232]

Stand up. I’m a 30 year master cabinet and furniture maker. Retired now and have a small shop. But if I had opportunity to own a cnc, you darn right I would. Having high tech equipment does not make you less of a woodworker. I think it makes you a well rounded woodworker who can adapt with technological changes in the industry

[@ryansmithtdr2920]

Facts! I’d love one. A master uses tool to be more effective in the craft. “Just cause you have a hammer doesn’t mean you know how to swing it”

[@unscripted483]

agreed, BUT. If someone off the street starts learning woodworking after they bought all the fanciest accoutrements that basically does the job for them.. well I'd say thats cheating.

[@GrampiesCorner]

Naw, it means you don't have an entire subset of wood working skills because you depend on machinery to do it for you!

[@baconboi4482]

[@gloriousbny]

Stand up. The contrast of the tambour door and the entire desk is beautiful. Looking forward for your next build. That Bob Ross sitting nicely on your jointer at 16:22 was a cute easter egg.

[@TheCrissCastle]

Stand up 👍🏻 Having to build a large desk I'm more than happy to see different ideas (and I do love your channel, so I got that going for me). Awesome work!

[@gordeneden]

I have watched this video twice and I deeply appreciate the details you give us as you work the build. I’m not a fan of bow ties however, the grain match was great for your project. Thanks!

[@grumpywoodchucker]

Really beautiful outcome. So fun to watch your process.

[@chrisbuonanni4723]

I own the same CnC as you, with the same power issue as you. I love that you use it in your work flow as you are one of the only builders I get to watch that uses it regularly as part of their work flow. Keep making content with it included, please and thank you.

[@michaelmartin1835]

The tambour door with continuous grain is beautiful. I'm not the biggest fan of standup desks, but I can see how people far less lazy then I am would like them. As for bowties, I have always liked them. 👍

[@celindajupi1853]

Stand up I love this desk it is gorgeous. I don't mind bow ties as long as not over done. Putting them on the underside adds stability and strength to it. The one thing that I'm not crazy about is the crack on the top left open to collect dust and grime.

[@MrsGump]

Stand Up I LOVE the walnut, what a beautiful colour & the desk is gorgeous! Another fab build as always!!

[@user-uv2pk2jx9s]

I think that you do what you need to do to complete your product! I love seeing the finished products too!

[@jamesradney5560]

This desk is beautiful! One of my favorite builds I have seen you do. As for bowties I used to hate them with a passion, but I have slowly come around and I actually love the way they look when done right. 👍Looking forward to seeing what you build next!

[@MCsCreations]

Bowties 👍 Amazing work, Jonny! Fantastic looking desk!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@timmaggard8862]

Great job! Love the stand up. The Walnut is the best period! Even the tambour door was awesome. great job sir, keep it up! Beautiful!

[@rebeccabarnes3324]

Such an incredible build Jonny ! The wood and your choices with bow ties are amazing. I am not a woodworker; however, I am a mixed-media artist and sincerely appreciate all that you do in your work. I had no idea that one could create artistry in wood the way that you do. It is nice to know that there are woodworkers in the world like you that can do with wood what others have told me couldn’t be done. I know that technology helps it along, but it takes the Artist in you to see what is possible and then create it ! My hat is off to you and your amazing work ! 🙏

[@jasontraud8102]

If you're using that jig to cut the bowtie inlays, you can always cut the bowtie with the CNC and have it round the corners to match the router bit. It'll avoid the extra chisel work to clean up the corners.

[@Joe___R]

There were two way you could have still used the off cut as the top of the monitor stand. You could have filled the messed up rout with epoxy or other wood and recut it. Or you could have milled it down to 1/4" or less and used it as a veneer on the top. It still looks good with those other boards but it isn't quite as nice as it would have been. As far as bow ties go I don't mind them as long as they are not over used. Since that is an epoxy table I would have only used one bow tie on the larger cracks then filled the gap with epoxy so the whole top is solid and free of voids.

[@joshharvey9658]

That desk is 🔥!!! Great work Sir!

[@rp8133]

Wow, I'm really impressed by your work. I like it. It remembers me to my grandpa who was a cabinetmaker. And he made all the furniture for his and my grandma's apartment by himselfs.

[@slavetabitha]

Why limit yourself. Use the tools you own!

[@MrG10E]

I agree with this statement

[@itchy711]

Me too

[@jealoushobo9416]

A woodworker who uses the tools he has access to is a smart woodworker. That said I personally do like to see what people can do when they limit themselves, like making a build with only hand tools for example.

[@wouldiwasshookspeared4087]

This is exactly what I came to say.

[@unstoppableman5273]

Bowties are the best way, IMHO, to repair and strengthen. They also show, you took the time to inspect, identify and rectify any potential problems.

[@briannaprather808]

I absolutely love your work it amazes me how you always come up with a new project😊😊 and the black tail hammer at 12:50

[@adrienmenard3529]

your electrician is verry bad at it if he tells you that you don't have 3 phases Y because Y or delta is just a way to use wire with 3 phases. it's just the diffference in tension between 2 phases or between a phase and the neutral.

Stand up!! Great work Jonny, Use whatever tools you have at your disposal to get your work done.

[@Leonitus485]

Jonny there’s not one of your videos that i have yet to be disappointed with and to be honest i dont think you ever will disappoint. Your work is absolutely amazing. I wish i could afford to do this type of work cause videos like your inspire me. I dont have nice tools like yours but i think i could make something nice with what i have just cant afford the wood especially since i have three boys that all play sports. What i would do to live close to you to try and purchase your scraps. I tried with 2 wood workers that live close to me and they pretty much told me to go buy my own from a wood yard. I was just hoping they would sell me their scraps for a little cheaper then the supply yard but was discouraged after that. Anyway sorry for insanely long comment. Let’s all STAND UP to Jonny builds for not disappointing yet again.

Bow Ties 👍 They remind me of quilting! I know quilters who have used wood inlay designs for quilts. I know wood workers who have used quilt designs to create wood inlays. It's fabulous.

Bowties 👍 I like em. I agree, they draw your eye, so its important they look good. I like the artistic approach you used with the different sizes. I think I like when its kept subtle, using matching wood. I've seen you use contrasting wood for them before, and I havent liked them as much in those builds. but thats just my personal taste :) stand up job on the desk in this one!

[@xavermaier9625]

Could you mount a big flycutter for metal working (like 5 inches or so) into your CNC? This would allow for wider cuts and a better finish due to less passes... Great video btw

[@melissaphillips-yq9ib]

I am new to your channel and just getting started with woodworking. Like you, I would like to do this full time (my retirement plan). I love all your tools and hope to have them and space to use them one day. It would be helpful to me if you did a video making nice furniture using only basic supplies (table saw, miter saw, etc). I’d like to see how to to do without cdc. Thank you for putting these videos out here. Your voice over is excellent and you do a good job explaining what your are doing and why.
