Turning Trash Wood To Stunning Table

I rescued this rotten live edge slab with epoxy resin, and carved a unique texture in the epoxy to create a really beautiful live edge table. I power carved the underside of the epoxy resin to create a unique epoxy texture. Thanks to MANSCAPED for sponsoring today’s video!

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?

[@Sokanoted]

“im so glad I had an epoxy room free of the dust of my shop.” *proceeds to sand an entire slab in the epoxy room*

[@victorc4_1234]

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

[@ac1dburn698]

Lame

[@Eric1935]

He did a shit job

[@eleniemmanouilidou24]

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!

[@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. ❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@pigcatapult]

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 day. 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.

[@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!!

[@terriroemmich1617]

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.

[@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

[@pastyman3247]

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👍👍👍👍👍

[@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.

[@kathleenchang9206]

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

[@rebeccab6835]

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

[@Eimdad89]

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

[@jasmeralia]

This is an amazing transformation from firewood to bespoke/artifical furniture. Major props!

[@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

[@grumpywoodchucker]

I absolutely love that carving detail underneath!!!!

[@michellesutton202]

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

[@blmznking5]

Absolutely love the table. It’s amazing to see others thought processes to create such wonderful artistic pieces of furniture. Would love to own something like this one day. ❤

[@incumbentvinyl9291]

Perhaps you'd like to buy it then? Go on.

[@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.

[@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.

[@allenworley575]

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

[@sullysheartsong]

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!

[@jimbob7511]

Pecan Pi! Easter egg @14.27 "Epoxy is saving the planet" Great build mate!

[@michelerussell9044]

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

[@betmo]

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

[@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.

[@ggad1899]

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

[@markcrouch7463]

Table legs look great, they remind me of green lanterns simple, just needs the circle in the middle. Love the videos.👍👍👍👍

[@michaeltripp1367]

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

[@NorCalGuy]

Wow. That’s really impressive.

[@AnimeQueenBeauty]

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!!

[@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

[@ddub2641]

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

[@lowtidecustoms1166]

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

[@mattyscott]

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

[@kbein4957]

Pecan Pi! Loved the texture!

[@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!

[@bobhoyer]

Love the end results ... great job!!!

[@dalepage5511]

Since you asked, I would have used black paint on the base. I've just made one for an abrosia maple cookie and the satin black inverted "Y" looks great.

[@shadowscribe]

I love the carved textures! It reminds me of the shadows you see looking into a pool when the sun's out.

[@incumbentvinyl9291]

*sun is Buy it then. It's still available, and on sale.

[@woodworking_noobie]

Man, I think those carvings are really interesting effect!

[@williamritter-kv6ht]

Great build, thanks for showing the fixes during the build. Enjoy the content, keep up the great work! Wil

[@davarrashayde]

This is an absolutely beautiful table build. the legs kind of remind me of the arch ways leading to Japanese temples, but i can easily see the Pi symbol as well. i love this "Pecan Pi" table

[@j_b_9381]

Pecan Pi! The table looks dope. I just attempted my first ever epoxy pour, just a simple cutting board customization but ya gotta start somewhere, right? I'll see tomorrow how it turns out. I hope to one day try massive builds like this. Keep up the amazing work!

[@JorgeFigueroa-lx6rh]

I really enjoy these videos, partly because I like watching people making things but mostly because it's always a learning experience even if it's not first hand. That said, the struggle with this slab hits home with me right now. I'm trying to salvage a piece of black walnut I will hopefully make into a desk for my office but 2 days into it my confidence is running on empty. Here's to not giving up, also great job! Oh, pecan pi!

[@michaelmoore1339]

Texture is awesome!!! never seen anything like it

[@roncytron7883]

Wow, amazing work and such a beautiful result!

[@jimfryar1]

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

[@sharonbolton3576]

"This" is beautiful!

[@bjornronaldson6017]

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

[@cynthiat6505]

Unbelievable! A zillion adjectives! Phenomenal!

[@timothysmolzer4695]

Earth Vader at 20:18. Table looks amazing

[@timothysmolzer4695]

Dang autocorrect

[@frankwolf9187]

Turned out beautiful!!

[@frangish9579]

I love it! Looks like those pockets that show up in thin ice where a puddle froze.

[@user-od6ge9fv8z]

Pecan Pi! Gorgeous!

[@odettehillier3387]

That turned out stunning 😍

[@leolasimpson9194]

It turn out beautifully ❤

[@paulbell1522]

That's a freaking awesome piece. Also loved the new ink throughout this video!!!

[@laurazakrzewski]

Pecan Pi. That did turn out awesome. Loved the underside.

[@diyhandcraftedlifestyle9151]

Absolutely love the table

[@marklaw9124]

Wow that's awesome it looks amazing you did good for that piece of wood.

[@hezibenda]

this table is beautiful!!!

[@GelbePower]

Beautiful. I just love that table.

[@tinaheron5825]

WOW! that is beautiful!

[@drcorydc1]

Beautiful Table! I'm not a fan of this particular underside carve out, but it seems like it could be used in different ways for effect. Thanks for the vid.

[@greglaxy7810]

Great video very helpful! Plus the table is beautiful

[@cherylacampora670]

FANTASTIC SAVE!!!

[@Wallerwoman]

I love it!! The carved epoxy is so unique! I wish I had the money to buy it!!

[@meganblack1975]

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

[@gbish6906]

Pecan Pi!! Great work Johnny, love watching all your builds!!

[@boriskaru]

Sweet piece of art 👍🎨

[@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🤗

[@eleicajunstrom8724]

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

[@DaddyBear3000]

Not seen the carving technique before. I really enjoy it. Nice work

[@rebeccamcfail69]

Absolutely Beautiful

[@edrompa]

The legs turned out much nicer then I was expecting them too from when you were spraying them in the video. The grain really pops through still.

[@danstewart7316]

Thank you Pecan Pi!

[@cbmirada]

Beautiful table, the texture is really nice 👌

[@Kathy11271957]

Gorgeous.

[@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.

[@johnnyb95678]

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

[@j53bell]

Undeniably gorgeous😍😍

[@2aarms129]

Just came across your channel. BEAUTIFUL table. Enjoyable video, great explanation of the how and why you do things. Also showing the mistakes is great for those like myself just beginning to get into woodworking. I live a few hours south of you in OK, any advice on essentials for a beginner just starting to set up his shop would be great. Again, glad I came across your channel, great content.

[@yehudaboneh8786]

So pro, so beautiful !!!

[@pegturner6748]

Pecan Pi. I really like the gold legs. The table came out great!!!

[@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!

[@sarahjoyce5041]

Love the table top. It's gorgeous. I think the base is way to bulky for how elegant the top is but that's just preference. It's beautiful

[@MIKEH.777]

This , this table is really fantastic, keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family 😊👍💯💪🙏🏼

[@dottiemathews6853]

LOVE YOU TOO, JOHNNY! FAB TABLE!! LOVE IT!!!!

[@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)

[@skyrere]

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

[@oakhavenresidents4812]

Pecan pie. Absolutely love it.🎉❤😊

[@debbiputman3482]

THIS is a really nice table!

[@MASI_forging]

What a beautiful design.👍👍

[@justinmejias4628]

Honestly great table I just recently started watching you and a couple others because I was thinking about starting woodworking (dont know where to start from a financial stand point but I'll figure it out) but I thought this table was great the "cell" inlays are beatiful and the idea struck me as like a mini mountain range which is an amazing idea for a table with a lot of earthy tones or maybe as a window design for a door either way amazing table even if it was big gamble on your part.

[@BlueSky-if9zn]

Awesome! Carving look is Great! Keep going.

[@andycpd6669]

That's beautiful, so glad it worked out
