Hey everyone it's Dylan and Charlie from The Black Forest Wood Company so we have
got another delivery to another lake in Alberta again it seems like we just did one of those
this time it's a little bit farther this was up to Baptiste Lake here in Northern Alberta
and it's a very very rustic dining set so a lot of our stuff that we commonly do is like quite modern
like the square edges the geometric shapes for the legs usually very modern whereas this has a
tree root base so all custom applewood that our friend Gerry found for us and it's got a live
edge top it's got live edge burl end tables and a live edge river coffee table so very rustic but
really nice cabin that our client had out there so i hope you guys enjoy seeing this one
Charlie didn't get to go for the delivery, unfortunately, he stayed here
but yes let us know what you guys think thank you for taking the time to watch and i hope you enjoy
so our client wanted a silver resin for this entire furniture package so that's what we're
mixing up here and this is for the coffee table and you might notice that the mould
is a little bit different than what we would usually do oftentimes we'll have MDF going the
full way around whereas this time we just have it on the ends because we want to maintain those live
edges and you can see the pour was a little messy so we just contained it with some silicone
and we're doing the same thing in the cracks and voids just filling those in and then everything
else is essentially the same it still cures for a week we still flatten it on our CNC and now
we're on to the finishing here um we are actually using on this piece our new Black Forest Oil we
talked about that on instagram just recently this week and a lot of people had questions on that so
it's probably coming within the next two months hopefully one month if we can speed things up and
it's just going to be one product to start that is suited for furniture so tabletops exclusively
and we really hope you guys enjoy it because we've been using it on our tables for a couple months
now and it's worked very well so that's the same process here that Ben is doing on the dining table
using our Black Forest Oil you can see the same patch of silver epoxy and of course it's got that
nice rustic live edge on the outside this is the applewood base that we got from our friend jerry
out in BC so right now brad's just trimming off some of the excess pieces so that we can actually
get it to sit flat you'll see in a second here when we back up that this thing is on an angle
it doesn't want to sit straight up and down so we had to do some trimming on these limbs cut the top
off shave it down to around that 30 inches and brad just kind of did this all by hand with the
chainsaw and power planer but then after this we do send it to the CNC to make everything perfect
something really interesting about this furniture package as well is that every piece of wood is
salvaged material so the dining table top and the end table slabs so that's the clear walnut top and
the claro walnut burl tops they're both salvaged from walnut orchards in california so what happens
in California is they plant these walnut orchards and then every about 50 or 60 years I believe
they get to a point in maturity where they don't produce walnuts at the same rate anymore so they
clear those trees and oftentimes they're just chipped up burned and just wasted whereas in this
case through our connections like GL Veneer and different places like that we're able to actually
get these trees salvaged cut up and turned into pieces of wood for us to use and then similarly
on the applewood base that we used for the dining table base that was salvaged from a fruit orchard
in bc so any of our canadians might know out in bc it's very popular for people to grow fruit
all different kinds and this is an example of an apple tree that obviously was rotten on the
inside as you guys can tell from all the decay so it had died it was removed and our friend
jerry salvaged this for us and we've now turned it into a table base and finally the coffee table
slabs they are salvaged by arborists in Ontario so same kind of thing arborists cut these trees
down and oftentimes they're chipped up or burned and just go to waste but we have connections out
in Ontario, these people salvage the trees and turn them into usable wood for us all right so
we have a table base that we're trying to flatten here but it's a little bit too large for our cnc
so we've had to deconstruct our CNC and we have it just sitting flat down there and
we have it just up high enough above the bed so that we can surface it and make it nice and flat
so we just finished a five-hour drive and we got on-site here at this lake in Alberta we're
delivering a furniture package for our clients so we've got a dining table coffee table and two end
tables the dining table as you guys can see here is quite rustic just by the base of it so it's
this big applewood stump and we've got a clear walnut top underneath there um it's gonna be a
little tricky getting this one in but it should look really good with this little cabin here was
that the hardest part's going to be left in this thing yeah we'll just tilt it and then take it off
you go out of here for a sec yeah move to the side got it okay start tipping more
oh grandmother hold on yeah got it
okay whoo hardest part
I need help
that's not bad this is so light compared to the base I know
set it lightly for now and I'll get under there yep
four more inches
we had to secure our burls in with the seat belt that's the only suitable way to transport them so
we'll let them out now
that's wicked
there we go we got everything delivered here um this is the dining table again it is claro walnut
and it's actually a grafted piece so that means this tree was manually cut and then had another
tree grafted on so this here what you see is English walnut well that's claro walnut it's
got an applewood tree stump base on there that came from our friend Gerry out in BC then we did
some claro walnut end tables that jerry actually built for us he milled all our claro walnut burls
so there's a pair of them one right here and then one over on the other side you guys can see
and then finally we've got this black walnut coffee table in the middle um so Canadian
black walnut silver resin solid steel legs and then there is like this walnut stretcher that
goes across the middle of that but this actually went perfectly sometimes the deliveries don't but
this one went completely perfect everything went according to plan we already sent the client a
photo and he loves it so that's always a bonus let us know what you guys think of this package
and i would be curious to know out of the four pieces which one you guys would actually pick as
your favourite I hope you guys enjoyed seeing that delivery there it was quite a bit more rustic like
i said that what we usually do so let me know if you guys like that rustic look i think in kind
of the setting he had it since it's like his lake home cabin thing i think it looked pretty good in
my opinion but like I said let me know what you guys think and some exciting news for us we've
got a big furniture package that we're starting here soon so this client spent over six figures
on all of this furniture it's for all for their home this isn't a commercial business or anything
it's all buckeye burl with black and ash so there's cabinets dining tables chairs coffee
tables all kinds of things but we will be showing some of the beginning pours for that next week so
we're pretty excited to to let you guys in on that but that's all we've got for this week
trying to see something outside and we will see you next week
