Hey everyone it's Dylan and Charlie from The Black Forest Wood Company
we're back again for another week here in the shop so
this week we've got our first conference table that we've done in a long long time
with everything that's been happening in the world conference tables kind of went away and it was
all about home desks but it seems as though 2021 conference tables are making a comeback so we're
going to show you guys the pour the de-molding the flattening and the finishing process to get this
piece to this stage it is claro walnut with what we call our smoky green resin and it'll end up
getting shipped down to colorado when it's done so i hope you guys kind of enjoy seeing this process
uh and we're up to 108 000 subscribers already you guys have been showing lots of support so we want
to hit 200k as soon as we can so go down below subscribe and even just leave a like that really
really helps us out so we've got this 13 foot claro walnut slab here see it's got some voids on
the outside we're gonna fill with resin and we're doing our smoky green so haven't done a table
without for a long long time but it's one of the most popular colors we've ever done let's do it
so there we go only one more bucket here but I'll kind of give you guys, uh I'll give
you guys some close-ups you can see that curl coming out of the coming out of the wood there
so this will sit in here for about a week to cure up we leave it in here
we like to cover the whole surface like you guys can see we're just sort of flush right now
so we want to cover that whole surface so that when it cures if anything soaks into the wood um
we're still going to be above the surface yes then we plane it so we pour this in we go over top,
uh we let it cure and then we plane it back down to the raw wood that's correct
um no the overlay or the over pour of the epoxy doesn't stay on the wood
um it all gets machined back down
so
oh
okay so we are now about to put the first coat of finish on that conference table you guys have
been watching us work on so it's 13 feet long it's five feet wide uh it's claro walnut and it's the
first conference table we've actually done in a long time like 2020 basically had no conference
tables at all and then finally in 2021 we're starting to see them pick up again like we've
got that conference table we've got an order for 12 office desks we're working on so it's coming
back so that's good but ben will kind of walk you guys through how he does this first coat now
okay so now that ben has got the first coat on this i'm just gonna kind of go over uh what was
used so obviously for the resin we used our black forest deep resin this is a pretty thick pore
it's not a huge volume but it is pretty thick and we were able to do it all in one shot and
then for pigments we used avocado from ecoepoxy and we also used caviar from ecopoxy which looks
like this so i know you can't really see the names on the labels right now so maybe we'll
we'll put something on screen and we'll put some links in the description where you can get these
we don't use ecopoxy resin but we do still use their pigments so we sell these on our website
you guys can find them for the finish we used on the first coat the osmo 1101 extra thin
we'll usually do one or two coats of this just to really seal the wood
for that initial coat because it is a lot thinner and then we follow it up with the
with the i don't i don't have a can here of it i only have a big can but we follow it up with the
3043 pollux so we'll put something of that on the screen and then we'll put a link for that too and
the combination of those two we'll do like let's say two coats of extra thin two coats of pollux
and then we'll follow up with our black four ceramics do two coats of base coat one coat of top
coat and that'll be finished so this one obviously doesn't have all that yet and it will get quite a
bit shinier before it is done yes we've just uh arranged a black forest fitness challenge
yes we're gonna see who can lose more poundage jesse or joe 300 bucks 300 bucks
january first for two months boom and that's what you missed i think i might have gained
a little bit of weight over the is that what you're trying to do that's what i tried to do i

going by percentage right like we don't really have to because I didn't beat him joe you had
you had about a seven percent loss in weight it's not bad now we have Jesse Johnner
