my guess for what happened with the weird stain is some oils got spilled on it at some point (maybe when it was cut fresh) and it was so deeply imbedded it just came up. that or natural oils from the pecan wood.

[@digimbyte]

thanks I hate it. the gold legs with the crystal rock effect is ugly. would have been nicer with a more red dye on the legs, and use a blue dye in the epoxy rather than black, its too cloudy and dark

[@OneMorePiece]

The table legs not match the same style

[@LynxGenisys]

Dang. I almost want to grow a beard again after your add... lol

[@scottkittrell5838]

Can you spell out the Instagram account you follow that inspired you?

I honestly think you should call this table pecan pi, such a good name. Also I was blown away with how you salvaged that slab, amazing job bro

PECAN PI! This table turned out incredibly awesome! The carving on the bottom is so beautiful! I think it's my favorite table you've ever made!

[@Retroidica]

PECAN PI. I look forward to your videos every week, and I also think this is my most favorite table I've ever seen. We are proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone in order to grow and provide us with awesome content and merchandise. Keep up the outstanding work.

It's always a tragedy when a tree dies. Making sure as little of its body as possible goes to waste is part of respecting its sacrifice. Beautiful table!

[@incumbentvinyl9291]

What an odd thing to say. How is it a tragedy, and how has the tree made a sacrifice? Plants live and die. It's not a tragedy, it's just nature.

​@@incumbentvinyl9291 Those trees gave their lives so that you could have FREEDOM. You need to honour their sacrifice, son. Stop disrespecting the flag.

[@incumbentvinyl9291]

@@timbirch4999 Do you have a source for that? I do not, and will not. Wood is a source of fuel for me. It's also a building material, I used some to repair my dock mere hours ago. What flag? Are you drunk or high?

Love the way you took a deep breath when opening the box to reveal what was essentially very expensive firewood. But isn't that always the best way motivate your brain cells to come up with a solution. The workmanship dictates to outcome, and boy you nailed it👍👍👍👍👍

[@theenatashasheree]

the table is stunning. love the risk you took adding the texture. it's def a show piece for any office or dining space!!

[@shelleysnailparlour2392]

This is also one of my favourite items to date. Pushing your skills to another level again! Congratulations on not only saving this Pecan wood but turning it into a work of art that will I am sure become a family heirloom for generations to come. ❤

[@darwinperkins4351]

PECAN PI. Man I wish I had a beauty in my home like this! Great work as always Jonny Builds. I love watching you project videos.

[@winkletsdad]

I can't say I love that texture in the epoxy. I think you did an awesome job. And it looks like you executed your vision extremely well. But that wood has such interesting visuals already, it seems like the busyness of the epoxy detracts from it. Amazing job, as usual.

[@heygek2769]

Same with the gold colored legs. All the additional stuff just detracts from that beautiful spalted slab.

[@kathleenchang9206]

I think I agree you, the most beautiful table ever. The embossed epoxy looks like a river bed.Fantabulous!

[@bryonsteik7435]

That actually looks good. And it's not just some one dumping epoxy on a piece of wood. It shows the artistic abilities of it. And more thought put into it

[@mattjames8350]

I've seen a lot of these types of tables, but this is by far my favorite with that carving underneath you did..absolutely beautious

[@seattlematt]

I really didn't know what to expect when you started power carving out the bottom, but it turned out really well. Thanks for the content.

[@stephanielavoy3619]

Too high humidity or oil on the surface of the wood could cause the waviness. Since it was so spongey, maybe the oils from your hand stuck around 🤷‍♀️ I can't imagine it being that humid in your shop

[@hadensnodgrass3472]

My guess was there was bug(s) that dried up and died inside the wood. The high temperature of the epoxy freed the oils, and they floated to the surface.

[@alexlover76]

The carved texture was brilliant. it really does look like a rock table. The shape of the legs remind me of the sign of pisces, as this is my own star sign. Your work is amazing!

[@WoWSoka]

"This". Great work Jonny. Yeah man! Go for it! Experimentation is a great way to live!

[@meganblack1975]

Pecan Pi- love your videos. Highlight of my week. Love the divot carving and epoxy look. Creative

[@allenworley575]

Very Nice...The gold paint with the grain still showing was a very nice touch.

[@rebeccab6835]

Absolutely gorgeous. And I love the base. The carving is the first time I've seen a design like that. Great job.

[@eleicajunstrom8724]

I think it is a beautiful piece of work. Great job. I enjoy watching your videos, I find it very relaxing. Thank you.

[@michellesutton202]

This table turned out so cool, I really love the design you carved into the underside of the epoxy. So cool.

[@michelerussell9044]

I love it. The carving is so cool. Do more of it on other builds.

[@ggad1899]

The marcasite colored cells are super cool, and very pretty. Glad you were inspired because it came out great!

[@jimfryar1]

I have no words…. Simply amazing man!!….. I’m envious of your talent!

[@waynehancock4928]

Pecan Pi! Great build!!! I was so not sure where you were going with the scallops on the bottom, but they look great!!! Love to see a fellow OKC guy doing well!

[@lowtidecustoms1166]

WOW Jonny!! Probably the coolest table I've seen you build!!

[@Eimdad89]

Excellent video as always. It's nice to see the challenges you go through when building a table, and how you overcome them.

[@SkullLad21]

PECAN PI this was a cool build! Interesting to see you adapt to the change of wood and the awkward circumstances with the condition of the material.

PECAN PI! This is a beautiful table. I have never seen the carved effect before but I love it!!

[@user-rt1zr9yu2b]

Great looking table! My son has me into epoxy pours now, he's just finished pouring a spalted maple dresser top (he's refinishing his furniture) and it's just beautiful. I'm now planning on making a top for an old trundle sewing machine that belonged to my grandmother, as a b/day gift for my sis. Cruising for ideas, and I like what you did with the cell structure below. Oh, BTW, the egg is during the manscaping break, and it's a head with a dark brown beard! Lmao! Keep it up!

[@skyrere]

pecan pi!!! I loved the whole process. I learn so much from all the descriptions and video documentary. :D

[@ricardolopez705]

Wow that is really a beautiful table and the carving you did at the bottom that made those scallops that is next level I really like that you should definitely continue to do that

[@amandavandermerwe7035]

This turned out just beautiful! I wasn't sure on the textured cell thing underneath, but wow! Great job Jonny! Thanks for sharing this video.

[@donaldadams5342]

Talk about saving a piece of wood fr3om the brink of the burn pile. If ever this applied to a timber slab it is this one. I love the way you jumped right into it & set about salvaging the unsalvagable. I am also very impressed with the 'carving down under'. This was a master stroke & went a long way to producing a TOP CLASS table from nothing. WELL DONE. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@TotalBoat]

This turned out amazing! Such a cool effect and beautiful build!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks!!

[@markkaes3144]

Cam sent me your way from the stair project… gold was a good choice. I like the butterscotch flavor which seems to suit pecan. Scale texture was interesting and different. Not a real fan of epoxy but I like this. Subscribed and will be following… inspiration and soul food for a garage based amateur!

[@DaddyBear3000]

Stunning Table Jonny ! Love the carving details. Glad the wood worked out the way hoped !

[@jeromeshort]

Well done! Great Saturday morning entertainment, can tell you really did wing it in places, I’m a huge fan of that kind of bravery in creative efforts, and it looks like it paid off here. Looks like you have some other great slabs for future videos as well. I will follow.

[@timbirch4999]

The carved underside is really intetesting. Love that part. The gold legs though..? They are heinous.

[@vernieplummer5148]

I really like the surfaces you cut on the bottom. They look almost like snake skin from the top. Very cool.

[@13MoonBunny13]

I absolutely love this. Wish I could afford to buy. Please make these types of textured tables again!!! Omg I so wish I could buy this!!

[@tenflat2009]

Pecan pie. Blown away by how this turned out! Love it, great job dude!

[@michaeltripp1367]

That is super interesting. Normally I would prefer the black epoxy, but this is unique. It's growing on me. Cool project

[@versatilefaerie]

I would have preferred to have a darker stain on the legs, but that is just my own preference, I think it still came out nice. I like the cell look, I wonder how it would look if one part was a colored epoxy and then it was covered in a clear coat? Like a blue or a red to contrast with the wood? You talking about pecan pi like that is making me want actual pecan pie, which is sad since I just got my grocery shopping done yesterday, I guess I will have to hold off my craving until next week. I loved that you talked about pecan wood in general, I always wondered why I never see anything made with it, I didn't know it was such a difficult wood to work with until this video. I also loved that you tried so many new things with this table. Thank you for the video.

[@johnnyb95678]

Pecan Pi is so yummy! Great table build and thank you for sharing.

[@patriciamay638]

Pecan pie is wonderful. You might want to explore using thickened epoxy resin to fill small bug holes, etc before the flood coat. Ahron African meat uses it on small turnings if you need a visual.

[@Thedestressguy]

wow... where to start? Fantastic save! Awesome table with lots of learning moments LOL, Love the carving with KutzAll. Thanks for showing the YT world what you can do!

[@grumpywoodchucker]

I absolutely love that carving detail underneath!!!!

[@zacattack5783]

holy cow, the sheer amount of epoxy used along with the amount that was just flooded off of it was insane

[@jeffrivera8973]

Peacan PI... HAd me think of Magnum PI... Love the table. Thanks for sharing!

[@rudlterranigma5386]

Looks amazing! I will copy that bubble technic 😀 Ah, and one thing to add: When carving outside of the shop all the dust will be blown into the enviroment and easily stay there for the next 100years (epoxy is extremly durable). I know it's alotta dirt, but doing it inside and then cleaning would be way more friendly to the plant we leave for our kids🤗

[@dhavalnickshrimankar7055]

Amazing build! And what a learning experience working on delicate wood and transforming it in to a master piece. Loved every bit of the video! Thanks for the share..

[@raptor87peak]

Loved the carved out 'scallops' which once filled and the colours, look like enlongated crocodile/alligator scaling. The gold stand looks good, and I think a deep dark rich black would have "maybe" been a tad better, but hey, I am just an 'armchair' expert. Fantastic job resurrecting that slab of timber, brilliant.

[@roncytron7883]

Wow, amazing work and such a beautiful result!

[@blmznking5]

[@gabikotuuc655]

The easter egg i think you're talking about is at 15:35 ? Maybe? Anyways i really love how the bubble effect turned out! It looks really nice and to think that the table was made from a rotting wood? Amazing!

[@j53bell]

[@bjornronaldson6017]

That is one crazy build, and it came out beautifully.

[@GFYYT11111]

💡 Try using epoxy waste/shavings into a design/filler, dye shavings recycling ♻️ waste creating something beautiful 🌍 love your work, thanks for sharing (l wonder if dyed shavings would melt leaving a stunning colour pattern behind?)

[@noahhuijbens3672]

I make epoxy floorings for a living. From my experience whenever i had some kinds of wavey textures it was because of moist or greasy surface. 2nd option can also be that the wood is still sucking up the epoxy while in the drying/reacting process. When some areas of the wood are still more denser than rotting parts, it means that different areas suck up more or less epoxy than the healthy denser areas. (Sorry for bad explanation, im not English)

[@MrWest3]

Pecan Pi. First time here. I really liked how the table top turned out! As far as the legs, I like the design, but I would've definitely went with black stain over gold any day. Take that with a grain of salt because "I'm not a gold kinda guy". For someone who is into the color gold maybe it was perfect.

[@catgynt9148]

Terrific build Johnny, the Pecan Pi reference was cute... considering the gallons of Total Boat material that you used it ought to be exceptionally heavy. What will you be making with the off cut pieces that are still resin impregnated; bookends, bourbon bottle dispensers... something interesting and creative. Peace brother

[@betmo]

i really love this! the scallops look like creek pebbles...i'm glad you were able to save this because it is beautiful ❤
