Hey everyone it's Dylan from The Black Forest Wood Company and we just finished our 20-foot
Bastogne walnut resin cast dining table our whole team absolutely killed it on this piece this is
probably one of the nicest tables we have made in a long time and it's the biggest table we've ever
made with resin one of the most expensive tables we've ever done too this one ended up selling
for around forty thousand dollars Canadian and we're going to show you guys the whole process
of us making it in this video so obviously a lot of effort went into this so if you guys can like
comment and subscribe that really means a lot to us and i will be quiet now so we can
watch this table come to life we just got this from GL Veneer it's a $40K dining table that
we're starting to work on uh 20 feet long it's going to be huge and we're not doing it in two
pieces so it's going to be really really heavy as well so we've got it on the trailer we're finally
ready to start working on it and we're going to use the forerunner to get it pulled in so it's
there you go you can see it weighing down the 4runner it's going to be
kind of a little sketchy method of doing this but it should work pretty good
this is the largest single pour that we've ever done it ended up needing 255 litres
and we're doing a smoky grey resin on it
when it comes to pouring now there's honestly no real method to it like we get questions a
lot like why do you guys pour on the wood why do you pour in the mould and it's usually just
random whatever's more convenient if you pour on the wood you can kind of eliminate some
of the bubbles that are created but since our resin has such a low viscosity, to begin with
even if you just dump this bucket in all at once all the bubbles would probably still come out
and now we got to get it back down so if it wasn't hard enough to lift that
slab up we've added about 600 pounds in resin to make it even more challenging so you'll see
what we do but this time we're going to utilize two forklifts instead of just one
and then we'll slowly bring this thing down and get it onto the CNC so we can relax again
right here we're using our festool track saw just to size this table
it does still work after last week when we cut the river rocks with it they're tough saws so we just
we cut the length first then we go parallel or perpendicular sorry with the ends and trim those
with the track saw though one tip i should mention is to take multiple
passes because if you do it all at once the saw is just going to bind up
another important step when you're working with slabs of wood that are
extra wide is to install c channels so that's what we're routing in here right now is two
little grooves so that that seat channel can slide in and be attached to the underside of the table
on river tables though where you split the piece of wood and it's not as wide c channels usually
aren't required now ben is applying the first coat of our black forest furniture oil so i want
to mention this product because we've been teasing it for a little while it is nearly done haley has
finalized all of the labels and we're just waiting on some french translation and i would say within
the next couple weeks here we'll be able to start taking orders and getting this oil shipped out to
you guys we have used lots of different oil products on the market and you know good and
bad osmo is what we've used for a long time and overall we're very happy with it we would still
recommend it to people but we just found we got that little bit extra moisture stain protection
that we have been looking for for a long time and then you can even combine our furniture oil with
our black forest ceramics which are available now to get even better water protection a higher shine
it actually makes the surface hydrophobic and it will increase abrasion resistance as well
all right so we've got the table all finished up here it's again 20 feet long five feet wide we use
our black forest deep resin the wood is bastone walnut and the total table weight is somewhere
above like 1500 pounds it is a very very heavy piece a huge thank you though to our client for
letting us build this for him it's such a spectacular piece and just the colors in
this especially once you get it out in the sunlight you can really see that contrast
so it is going to be getting shipped down to him in the united states unfortunately we
can't go deliver this but we will try and get some photos from him after it's all set up in his home
this is the giant crate for the table uh by far the biggest table crate that we've ever gotten
and as i'm sure a lot of you probably know the price of lumber is insane right now so this crate
actually costs us thousands of dollars um that's just the way things go unfortunately at this time
but the whole inside gets lined with foam the table will go inside and then it's going to
go on a dedicated truck all the way down to our client in north carolina and then he's hiring a
moving company to help take everything off the truck and like i said he'll probably get some
photos so we're looking forward to that and as soon as we have photos we'll probably put them
on our instagram if you guys want to follow us you can check them out there but thank you guys
for watching this build uh this is a lot of fun a 40 000 dining table I just can't get over that
so if you guys enjoyed show us some love like comment subscribe and we'll see you next week
