Hello everyone, it's Dylan from the black forest lumber company we are back another week
here in the shop, this week we will be showing you exactly how we created this round
buckeye burl coffee table and it's got a red oak base on which we did Shou Sugi Ban again, so
so you guys will see some more burning, personally this is one of my favourite coffee tables that
we have ever created, awesome, awesome clients for this one too. gotta say that it was a pleasure to work
with and buckeye burl is probably also becoming one of my favourite woods so really excited for
you guys to see this one please leave a like on the video it really helps us out and please
subscribe we cracked over 100k not too long ago so we're on the road to 200k let's try and hit
to
some i don't even know that one
after the piece is demolded we then put it on our avid cnc machine to flatten it so the reason we
over pour is so that we can fill all the voids in on one shot and then the avid just cleans it
all up back down to the raw wood then we head over to our bsc rover and this is actually what we use
to cut the piece round so we can't do it all in one cut it would be too much of a load for this
machine so it's actually nine different passes here that we go down and we slowly cut this thing
out to a perfect circle if you guys don't want to go to all that work or if you don't have the cnc
machine to cut things round we now have round reusable epoxy forms so essentially what these are
these are hold down bars you imagine you'd loosen them move them out of the way put your wood inside
and then you take these little hold down blocks so we'll pretend this is a piece of wood or something
right you would put your hold down block in there clamp everything down stick a little wedge
in there and then you've secured your piece down and all you have to do is i'll show you guys this
this comes out so then all it would take is just a bead of silicone around the inside of
this groove here you then plop your piece in you can slide your hold down bars on
and then you're good to pour so yeah check these out on our website
similar deal to what we have on the no seal forms except these are around and you have to seal them
so
okay so here is the table that you guys have been watching us work on um it's obviously a really
small table but in my opinion it's one of the nicest that we've done in the past little while
uh again just to go over it it's buckeye burl this particular slab has a lot of that gray coloring
as well which helps it tie in really nice with the the tinted resin we use and then also the
shusugiban base people are loving loving loving this shusugi band it's it's crazy how popular
it's become we did the bench that you guys saw last week we did this base and then since then
if you come over here we've got three more bases that we're working on all with the shusugi band
so this has become super popular i'm quoting a big kitchen countertop job for it right now
you guys really really seem to be liking that so to finish off this coffee table though it
the finish looks really good so far but it's not completely done yet we still need to do
our nano coat so we're going to do a quick layer right now of our black four ceramics
the base coat just to kind of show you the difference that
the osmo by itself will give and then what adding the ceramic okay so we just posted a
how-to on our ceramics not that long ago so if you guys want a more in-depth tutorial uh just click
up here on the screen and go check that out um we're using the base coat for the first coat
one question we got a lot on the last video is about the coverage of our ceramics so each
milliliter will do two square feet so this 100 ml bottle here will do 200 square feet so it's pretty
good coverage and this one's actually probably small enough i'm gonna go for it in one shot
so again I basically I'm just switching the direction that I'm going with my pad
here first I'll go vertical then I'll go horizontal
or up and down left to the right side to side forwards backwards
take our microfiber a little bit of water on here and we'll just buff this guy off so now that we've
got the base finished up and the top all finished up for this table we can actually uh mount it so
I'm just going to do my best to line this up now we're around 97 97 so we're good that way
97
98 we're within a millimetre that that'll work so that was just luck that it all happened to be
right where I needed it so now I'm just going to make sure everything is as centered as it can be
looks pretty good and then all we're going to use to fasten this
are just some three and a half-inch number 10 screws so they're going to go in there pretty deep
but that's okay we want a lot of holding power and of course I'm going to pilot hole everything
so i'm just sitting it on here to line up where the legs are actually going to go i'm just kind
of using this this paper towel here to ensure that i'm not going to get any scratches on the bottom
obviously that's not going to be there on the final table so same thing i'm
just going to measure in make sure we're even we're bang on all the way around now
what we have to make sure of is that i'm not going to hit any resin
and i'm not i'm hitting wood here wood here and wood there and wood right there so i'm safe to put
my inserts in we'll go grab our insert kit now and put our inserts in so threaded inserts are
very easy to put in three pieces basically you're gonna need you're gonna need your
your forstner bit this is actually going to cut the the opening or the recess for the insert
that the insert can go into you're going to need a countersink bit so that the top lip of that insert
there can sit flush and not be sitting proud and the final piece just going to need a little allen
key this fits inside the insert you can put in your drill to help the insert go in easier so
you just need one of these a little punch put it in your hole you know kind of line up for center
then you can go ahead and tap that in
so then something else important here is that I keep the base in the same orientation when I
take it on and offset it right here in the exact same orientation that way I don't get mixed up
now I can go ahead and machine out the recess for the inserts I don't know I
think it's because the wood is so soaked with epoxy that it's harder than it usually is
well I hope you guys enjoyed seeing that process uh let us know what you guys think of this coffee
table it, in my opinion, it looks awesome um the thumbnail as you guys notice is charlie
and charlie like matches this table perfectly which we thought was really
cute before we finish up let's go over the products we used here so it's buckeye burl
it's our black forest deep resin for the resin here colour effects dye in black for the tint
Osmo pollocks to finish everything and then black forest ceramics as a top coat then on the base
we did uh red oak six-quarter red oak and then we did Shou Sugi Ban so we burnt everything
we applied black general finishes dye stain and then we finished it off with the Osmo Polyx so all
of those products that I mentioned are available on our website you can buy them from us yeah again
this one was a pleasure awesome clients and thank you guys for watching we'll see you next week
