Hey everyone it's Dylan from The Black Forest Wood Company this week we're building a custom
table for graham stefan's podcast the iced coffee hour so he picked out a slab of pecan wood that we
got from gl veneer down in california and then of course we had to lay coffee beans down the center
of it uh not only for his his podcast name but he also has his new coffee brand bankroll coffee
uh and then we did a custom base on there just solid steel from forge 53 and we're going to
show you guys in this video our entire process of creating this piece if you guys enjoy this video
please leave us a like comment uh and subscribe that all really helps us out and i hope you guys
enjoy okay so it's been about two days now since we did our base layer in this table for graham
and if you guys take a look in here at the epoxy I'm not sure if you can see that but it's still
kind of soft i can actually still dent it with my finger so that's about the perfect time if you're
doing layered pores for when you want to pour that next layer you don't want it to stick to your
finger but you do want to still be able to dent it and then like i mentioned earlier this one's
getting coffee beans so we've got probably bought too much we bought like a hundred dollars for the
coffee beans we've got four full bags here should we need it i don't think we will but we might
the goal here is to kind of cover the whole bottom so i'm going to dump these in lauren's going to
help me spread it out and then we're just going to pour a thin layer over top of these to kind of
seal them in place and then once that layer is tacky then we're going to do the final casting
yeah so graham and jack the guys who this table is for they actually have a podcast called the iced
coffee hour so it's obviously only fitting that they cover their whole table and coffee beans
okay so I think that's a good start um we'll kind of clean up the
coffee beans that have got all over the place uh we'll even this out and then we'll come back and
show you guys what it looks like before we pour so my plan right now is to just try and coat all
of the coffee beans and get a thin layer poured over them so that they're all nice and sealed
all right I can already tell there's going to be some repositioning to be done
they definitely float
there we are we've got all the coffee beans in now I actually didn't expect them to move quite as
much as they did I thought more of them were going to be stuck down so what I'm kind of going to
do now is just move these coffee beans around in here so that all surfaces of every single bean are
coated in epoxy this is a really weird feeling it's kind of fun
our original plan was to actually get these beans uh within that line so that we didn't
end up cutting through any but as you guys can see that would have been really hard
to stop them from going to the end so we're just gonna end up cutting through these beans
and well we might have to like fill it up with superglue for the beans that are
sticking through on the end but it should look pretty cool
weird smell like a mix of epoxy and coffee
epocoffee
the coffee bean table has been demolded and it's been flattened i wet it down a little so you guys
can kind of see what the grain looks like as long as charlie's not in the way i guess but you really
can't see the beans in there right now so if you look from the end you can see the beans in there
so we're going to have to polish this whole thing up we'll put our osmo on but the pour did come
out really really clear so i'm thinking by the time this is sanded it should look just amazing
okay so we just got this table all finished up dusted off and it's ready
to ship out to graham down to his home in vegas this piece turned out very very good
we used our black forest deep resin for the pour and you can see there's
excellent clarity in the resin like the coffee beans came out with a lot of clarity there's very
few to i would say almost no bubbles in this piece so that's kind of what allows you to see in there
the finish that we used on this is our black forest furniture oil which is almost done the
labels are basically finished we've just got to wait for the product to show up so that's
coming very soon and then we topped it off with our blackboard ceramics so that is available now
you guys can get that on our website but really excited to see graham start to use this and i
want to say thank you to graham for picking us for this and allowing us to create this piece for him
of course we want to hear what you guys have to say in the comments down below
uh but overall we're very happy with the way this piece came out i hope you guys enjoyed seeing
the process of this table again huge shout out to graham for letting us do this for him we'll leave
a link to his channel in the description below if you guys haven't seen him before
we had a lot of fun creating this and i'm sure we're going to have some more interesting requests
for things to put in the tables so thank you guys if you watched all the way through to the end of
the video and let's see what charlie thinks about the table see if he has anything to say this week
nope charlie he's keeping it short it's his birthday oh yes uh it was charlie's birthday
yesterday you guys uh he is now one year old so that that was very exciting for him we'll have to
give him uh some kind of dog food cake thing today we'll buy him a treat from the farmer's market
across the street, so he would really appreciate some happy birthday wishes in the comments
