Great video! Your chainsaw guy should probably wear chaps.

[@bronsonleiro]

u forgot the maple burl

[@blakewilliams3702]

Maple Burl….another of many great projects from your shop. A talented bunch!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Blake!

[@charlesthomas9294]

Maple Burl! Fantastic table build guys. I like the restraint that you used in the top, letting the epoxy be a subtle accent and letting the walnut do the heavy lifting visually.

[@SRM_NZ]

maple burl......that is a beautiful piece of art....I love the understated amount and colour of resin

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you 🙏

[@dougk5456]

This is really neat. It displays nature at it's finest!! Great work!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Doug!

[@DrivingWithJake]

Maple burl is one I always like. Maybe because I enjoy how it can look on a knife handle and in some high end speaker boxes. Great table as always.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

It’s one of my personal favourites. Thank you!

[@jadesiphone896]

Maple burl is awesome stuff. I hope you’ll do one upside down, meaning the burl chunk is up and all the cut off trunks form legs. If you then pour a round table with that flattened burl as the center. Now the tree trunk feet need custom carvings or something to balance the end grain view of the burl cross section as the table top.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Jade! We were actually contemplating orienting the base that way! Guess we’ll have to do another 🤷‍♂️

[@jadesiphone896]

@@BlackForestWoodCo please do!!!

[@Grandpa600]

Maple Burl: I like the way that you adopt when taking on something unusual, you tend to take your time, and accept that time is everything when producing a beautiful piece of furniture.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Mike!

[@dottiemathews6853]

Guys this turned out beautiful!! i just love looking at you all bring a dead piece of wood come to life and bring out it''s inner beauty! magnificent!! LOVE IT!!!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Dottie! We're glad you enjoy our creations as much as we do!

[@seantwomey396]

Maple Burl: the walnut top is exquisite. I love the color, finish and the grain. The maple base is unique and the stretcher integrates well. Your detailed description of the steps you had to take and of the extended time required shows why the piece is so costly. This is beautiful but I would have died of impatience at the wait. That is my weakness as perfection does take time. Very well done!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Sean! We’re lucky we have other awesome pieces to work on while we wait for others to dry. It helps easy the anticipation haha

[@roberta.brokaw3829]

Maple burl base is really cool and very unique. I really am amazed at the out of the box thinking your crew does to create one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork. Also, your R&D that helps create your resins, oils and protective coatings are geniuses. Stay safe and can't wait to see what's next.

[@JeanHenry77]

Maple Burl how beautiful. thank you for sharing your great work.

[@horses2by]

Beautiful gorgeous table, thanks for sharing

Maple Borough I think it's beautiful you did a great job

[@johncotton866]

Maple Burl, Fantastic Video!!! Would have never guessed a table could be made using that piece of maple burl. Great job and a fantastic table for a lucky family. Keep up the good work!!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you John! We love working with different pieces like this

[@donedwards5301]

Gorgeous piece! Well worth the wait. I can understand the need for perfection. The three different woods come together so well.

Thanks Don!

[@michelerussell9044]

Maple burl wow! I love how this turned out.

Maple burl is Da Bomb!!! The top also turned out beautiful even tho it was a pain waiting so long for Mother Nature to do her job. Nice piece guys!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Us too! It makes for such interesting pieces. Thank you!

[@theresagrosscup1968]

Love that table. It is very unique. Nice work

[@kblewis3331]

Maple burl. I enjoyed seeing the whole process, and hearing g about the firing of the wood and construction of the table. One day I hope to have something as unique, though probably not so massive. I really like the ‘River’ tables and countertops too. Thanks for sharing the link to the full video in the comments of the FB Reel.

[@barry.w.christie]

Maple Burl ... yet another stunning table ... I'm a fan of using trunks/branches as bases. I made a kitchen table for a friend using some Leylandii I'd cut down a few years back ... I had to rejoin the trunk as I'd cut it in two for ease of moving it about ... like you I had to stabilise the trunk and I used some old oak flooring to build a support structure. The top was made from the logs cut lengthways using a chainsaw ... didn't feel very safe doing that!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Barry! That sounds like a beautiful piece. It’s nice when everything can come from one tree

[@martyfarrell9459]

Nothing like using a 36" bar to cut off 8" branches. Safety first.

[@steveburney9105]

Maple Burl as always great job doing a lot of out of the box thinking keep up the great work

[@carlosprieto773]

Maple Burrell ...a wonderful piece very cunningly put together😁

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you 😊

[@muchimi]

maple burl, absolutely inspirational !!

[@kurtc6372]

Interesting Maple Burrell base and the black walnut top was worth the wait in drying. I like the whole concept. I see great things happening as you master and perfect this type of design.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Kurt!

[@astronuub9334]

Maple Burl - lovely piece.

[@avidreader6097]

Stunning!

[@nancyreier1070]

Just awesome! Love the burl base beautiful. Keep up the great work. I like the black stain that u are using too.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Nancy!

[@cattac6]

Maple Burl. Very interesting., I really dont mind the stretcher at the floor level, a nice juxtaposition with the burl and the black stain is perfect for it. The burl itself throws up one glaring issue for me and that is why the dark piece of branch or root, whatever! that is sticking out of the side, was not removed. That spoils what otherwise would be a beautiful tree stump base. The Walnut top is amazing, and I love the free form edge and minimal use of resin in this project. All in all a great result . Thank you for sharing. Cheers Michael.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Michael! We thought about removing that piece but the client opted to leave everything in tact!

[@kristahathaway9308]

Maple barrel you guys did a very beautiful job

[@Thefineartofdistraction]

Guys this turned out FRIGGEN awesome, well done

[@spappy2k6]

Hey pops, a lot of good that facial does in the "up" position! 😁😉

[@sspacegghost]

maple burl. its great - bit gilding the lily though. The base, with a thick marine glass top, would rock !! Its like youve got two tables there in one. its the big catch with designing stuff isnt it - one of those NY fashion designers is famous for saying, dress it, then take one thing off. The tactile nature of wood is so pleasing to the eye. its got an energy and a life that is beyond description.

[@bobcarter7501]

Add a head and tail to the base and you'd have a pretty good bulldog.

[@davidgomia3719]

INGENIOUS..WELLDONE BLACK FOREST TEAM..👌👌

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you David!

[@dagnyhof9156]

Getting creative with the base differentiates you from all the others doing slab tables. Very impressive.

Maple burl! Not a question, just wanted to say I loooove the black finish you guys use on your bases. It looks REALLY nice, very uniform, and it seems to be truly black, not black-ish. Love the videos!

Maple burl …. Positively stunning

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Patricia!

[@pierapaola3322]

I agree that staining the stretcher dark is the best option: because that way it doesn't take away from the accent piece. It would look weird and cheaply put together having it all in natural wood color. It's a beautiful job

[@gailegormley5744]

Maple Burl is beautiful!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Agreed! Thank you Gail!

[@robertdickson1440]

Maple burl in Calgary.... what a combination. More stunning work. Makes me want to be back in Canada. Hope you enjoyed the snow last week. Any more door videos coming up? The process and workmanship is remarkable. Stay safe.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you very much Robert! The snow may have arrive be uninvited but we’re back to double digit temps with sunny days for the time being. We have what is probably our best door video yet coming out next week. It’s a $50,000 set of doors exterior doors with burl and resin!

[@robertdickson1440]

Definitely will be watching that! You guys do amazing work!

Incredible table as usual. Not sure I enjoy the 3 different wood colours and the green epoxy. It doesn’t quite jell . The build is amazing

I swear if I ever strike it rich… there will be signs… the Maple Burl table is simply amazing reminds me of a table I saw years ago.

[@eziokwubundu5319]

Human ingenuity

[@janettavculek9308]

Gorgeous, what else to say. Only instead of black paint over the beautiful ash, I would have used a dark stain with maybe a hint of rust, to not cover up the grain of that wood.

[@jaypee42]

Maple burl is beautiful. I think I would have gone with a brown stain on the trestle base to try and tie in with the table top colour?

[@warehouseman6325]

Maple Burl.. Oh my Goodness, that's is Beautiful. Looks very expensive. Wow. Man thats definitely over the top. What else can be said . Perfect 10. P.S. watch Dillon and his bathroom breaks around the base. Lol You guys always find ways to amaze us.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha thank you Torben! It’s always great to hear from you

[@buddhababeoz]

Maple burl has to be the most fascinating element in woodwork. It inspires such creative designs!! My only complaint is your videos are too short. Its more satisfying to watch the whole process. I wait each week for a snapshot (*appetiser)...I want the main meal :)))

[@unclemoe5733]

Maple Burl. Do you treat the burl for bugs? Such as Powder Post Beetles. I've had several pieces I've finished that sit or hang on a wall and as time goes by, wood dust appears beneath it. They are hard to eradicate.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Yes! We kiln dry and fumigate the piece if needed!

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Maple burl Great video. I like that Black Forest Wood Co. will think outside the box for new and better designs that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Did you put a sealer on the Maple Burl?

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you!! We love trying new things. We did seal the burl, we sprayed it with urethane

[@FirstNameLastName-hahaha]

Wow, that table has the look only a mother could love. Must be the fumes.

[@btgustafson23]

Maple burl How did you finish the burl How much did you sell it for?

[@derekbambrough1376]

Maple burl! This was a really interesting video, hearing about the length of time it actually took because of the drying process is something that you don’t mention very often The burl base looks fantastic and really makes the piece stand out! Awesome work, as always

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Derek! It’s something we want to talk about more, the design process with the client is usually 6-8 months before we every start any work.

[@shaunireland5501]

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Shaun! We’re trying to find more pieces like this

MAPLE BURL: Love it, Fantastic job, Black Forest. As an arborist myself, and now avid wood worker, I have seen so much Beautiful wood, forks and root flares on stumps over the years, not knowing how to do the process, but knowing that, that piece of wood out of the tree I just cut would really make something awesome, And you guys do that, and I've learned a lot from y'all . Great video ,Beautiful table, love the Black Ashe legs... Keep up the good work, Thanks...for what you do there Dillon.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Steve! We love working with what mother nature provides. It always keeps things interesting

did you apply an oil or poly to the maple burl for the finished piece or is that after just sanding?
