Watch this before adding breadboard ends to your table

Good job brother. This one was really good.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

8:08 is my favorite part. Excellent video sir! Your narration is very well done. Looking forward to future videos. Hope you have a great day!

[@sturdyboneswoodworking]

Thank you my friend. The future videos will definitely be worth looking forward to.

Fantastic video man. Love the voice over! Really cool project.

Thank you Tom! Learned a lot while making this one and had a lot of fun experimenting with the video, too.

Interesting video. Have thought about, but haven’t tried to make a breadboard table. However, I did think that after you trac sawed the back of the tenon that you were going to use the router to do the bulk of it. I think it would be the way to go. And yeah, I think I would have hidden the tenon end. Yours looks good but if the tenon gets chipped or the mortise isn’t quite square, short of ripping the edge of the table down it’s going to show. Good choice on the finish. I’ve been pretty much just using Osmo or Odies Oil, especially on furniture. I have a lot of Ash from some dead trees in my yard that I cut and milled down. They give it a nice natural look. I have used poly on a few things, mostly just wall hanging type stuff. I like the shine and on stuff like that there’s not so much of a risk that it gets scratched. No finish provides total protection, but on a table I’d rather sand out a scratch and apply more Osmo than Poly. Nice job on the table and the video!

Thanks so much for watching. Couldn’t agree more with your thoughts on hiding the tenon. Very much a 20/20 thing. It’s a skill flex if you can get it done right but it’s really slow going and ultimately doesn’t add that much to the final look. And 100% on Osmo. You can build it up so it gets a good sheen and fix it. Thanks again!

Thermally modified ash is great for mimicking walnut. It's slightly more expensive than ash, but a whole lot cheaper than walnut. Its also very dimensionally stable and the color runs all the way through the wood!

[@sturdyboneswoodworking]

Oh that sounds really interesting! Where can you get it? Thanks for watching.

[@roderickbutler7673]

My local hardwood retailer has it under the brand name Cambia, but there are other brands as well. I'd call around, it's getting much easier to find. The one drawback is that it's much more brittle than regular wood. Good luck!

I think hard wax oils are infinitely easier to apply than a film finish. No spraying, no dust inclusions (I don’t have space in my shop to set up a paint booth), and no brush marks. What’s not to love?!

[@sturdyboneswoodworking]

💯 I use them anytime I can! Thanks so much for watching!
