Hey everyone it's Dylan and Charlie from The Black Forest Wood Company
this week we're going to be working on a claro walnut burl dining table
with a brand new base design that we've actually never done before
so you're going to get to see the initial pour for this we actually did a solid black
base layer on the bottom and then a clear pour over top using our black forest deep resin and
you'll also get to see some of the initial work on the base we love hearing your comments about
what you think of each piece every week so let us know about this one and uh I hope you guys enjoy
so now for the glue-up of this table base we actually have to do a large stack lamination
here so we're still using our type on three glue that's what we like to use for everything
for the best strength in the lamination and we've got our pieces of 12 quarter ash that
have been cut to size and milled and we've actually drilled our dowel holes in there
as you can see so we're gluing every surface of each piece of ash and then we're actually going
to be sliding our dowel through to ensure that we have perfect alignment on all these
so you can see on the far right there there actually is the dowel and the other side too so
that's what's allowing all of our pieces to line up and there's sort of like a little groove in the
top of this where we have one of our cross members that needs to fit in so instead of cutting that
after out of this whole blank we're just gluing it up to the perfect size right now and then when
this is all drying out of the clamps we just have some light sanding to do to clean everything up
so we've got the base as far as we can until we actually get our brass that shows up
but it's actually going to go in all of these grooves that we've got right here
and then there's also a brass dowel that's going to help to support this whole piece
this is a crazy crazy heavy base like as you can see how thick it is it's all solid ash
but I think it's gonna look very unique when it's put together so probably not next week um
but within the next month for sure we'll be doing the video of the full final showing of this table
thank you guys for tuning in this week again let us know what you think about this table I think
it's really cool it's one of my favourites we've done in a while um but let us know what you guys
have to say and we'll get some final words from charlie as always what do you have to say mister
