Matthew you have mad skills and sharing them with others is really special because your possibly encouraging others into the wood trade which is an art form that should be carried on .
Well if anyone ever thought your jointer or planer were oversized or excessive.. this should set them straight, haha. Table came out awesome! Thanks for doing the short version of the build.
Again I am in awe of your access to the right tools to break down such monster pieces of wood. But, they are definitely better in your hands than mine. Amazingly well done and a furniture set piece for the people of 2200 to gawk at in awe just as all of us are. Kudos.
Hi Matt, I have had my eye on that table every time it showed up in a video. I was glad to see this video showing the build. Thanks for sharing it with everyone. Jim
That really was a GREAT project Matt, one to be proud of. Every time I watch/re-watch a video I pick up a tip, like when you are dowel joining a piece, offset the hole a bit and that way it will "pull" the pieces together. Keep'em coming.
I am a maze, you can do all this work a lone . of course your artist and hard worker . it’s beyond my imagination thank you . and God bless you . you are one of the kind, you don’t see these days somebody like you it’s hard to fine. Manny Manny thanks.👍🏽
I love your velios,I watch all of them at least 2 times.I can imagine me making beautiful tables(I am 71,not able to really do it)YOU MAKE MY DAY,THANK YOU.
Holy crap dude! I know this is an old video so hopefully you see this. I've been trying to watch more videos of you and Shannon after listening to the Wood talk podcast. This was so much work, IMO, but the result is phenomenal! Cant believe it was for an outside table.
The best looking picnic table, er outdoor farmhouse table, I have ever seen! I would not hesitate to use such a table in a dining room. Very impressive, Matt!
You do excellent work on that table an benches, it so nice to see someone as young as you are take an interest in doing that kind of work! You don't see that anymore, keep up the good work
I remember this build a being blown away by the project and I’m still blown away. I also thinking about the finishing and to keep a eye out for a update and I must say the finish is still awesome. Thank You for the update.
Wow! Beautiful looking table. I like the time you took to join the wood. Thank you for showing it a year later. I am amazed to see how well it’s held up. Definitely a good choice on the epoxy and finish you used. Thank you for sharing
Great for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When those logs came in... I thought you were kidding... fire wood was my first thought... but no... you preformed magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could build that table......if I had all those saws!!! Fantastic project Matt!! Think you used about every tool you have. It's amazing how long it took from log to table - slow and steady. Scott
sweet to see it from beginning to end! I had to go back to the video you posted about the finish last year like 5 times to get all the details about how you used epifanes. I recently did a live edge vanity and did this technique for finishing it, came out great and im comfortable that it will last a long time in its environment. Thanks for sharing your processes with us so I don't have to be the guinea pig!
Matt.... First, Thank you so much for posting these videos with both the successes and failures. That mere fact has a tendency to make projects less daunting. I recently completed a 8'x4' Pecan slab outdoor table and I said I don't know if I'd do it again. Then..... I watched this video and got more ideas. You, my friend are a dangerous man! :D
Matt, I watched you build this table and bench seats and I eagerly awaited the next video. This turned out to be an awesome fixture. Thanks for the update on how the finish has weathered. looking forward to more projects.
I have the timber, alas, I don't have the skill - if you fancy a trip to Sweden - board and lodge covered - your part in this transaction - build me a table and benches - 😀😀😀😀😀
The finish turned out great! I've been searching for a not so glossy outdoor finish. Thank you for leaving links below. The whole table is pretty badass! Thanks Matt!
Excellent video Matt!!! The table looks amazing and your editing was fantastic. You condensed so much work into a ten minute video without speeding up the footage once! Bravo sir!! :)
Matt - Beautiful table and bench. This had to be one of the more challenging projects that you built. Beginning with the large slabs and all the milling. Looked as though the table was too big for the tools. I know that this was also time consuming, but I would like to see more projects, using those big slabs. How about it Matt?
Hello there Matthew, I have appreciation for working with hardwood although I do not get much of a chance to work with anything but greatly appreciate your content especially your picnic table came out nice.
Some old school footage! Dema and chainsaw milling. I feel like I've seen this table before. I guess that what I get for following your progress so much. Looks great.
HECK YES!!! Matt, you nailed it! I am one of your biggest fans and you never disappoint. Keep up the great work and thanks for doing all you do. Heading over to the guild now.
Great project and great videos. I'm glad that I happened on to your channel. My hobbies are building furniture and making BBQ Smokers. I've looked into buying a saw mill, but you have inspired me to make my own. Thanks!
Thanks for video Matt, great build and awsome design. It looks old world. I say that because of the demension of the lumber. Looks very handsome, the patio's nice too.
Being able to both source your own wood and have a mill opens up so many possibilities, imagine if you had to source the materials from a local sawmill, EXPENSIVE
Matt congrats on the table, it is beautiful to see the whole project beginning to end. After I saw you in the Woodwhisperer channel I've tried to search for the videos where you make that table but it was too out of order and in a blog format, so I gave up. Thank you to make this compilation. I've loved it ! Do you think you can make a video about the changes that occurred in the wood over the time ?
Matthew, you are one skilled craftsman and are overflowing with talent my friend!! You sure know how to handle those huge slabs, looks like you're an engineer...😉
I love this table and bench set thing is Diesel and beautiful I was hoping you'd make a build video on it I'm glad you did got me motivated on starting my kitchen project have a good one bro
Matt, great coverage of such a lengthy time-lapsing project. Nice work! Also, I'm amazed that you don't look like an Olympic lifter. Seriously. It seems as though you're lifting slabs or flipping them at least once a week. lol
Milled a rotten log, milled the slabs after drying them, cut & jointed each piece, finished & made it look easy. WOW! Great job.
Matthew you have mad skills and sharing them with others is really special because your possibly encouraging others into the wood trade which is an art form that should be carried on .
Well if anyone ever thought your jointer or planer were oversized or excessive.. this should set them straight, haha. Table came out awesome! Thanks for doing the short version of the build.
hahahaha! That's an excellent point!!
I'd forgotten about the epoxy on the end of the legs. That was such a good idea.
That beam saw is amazing. It deserves it's own social media presence.

I'm always impressed with how you handle large stock, from rough cutting to jointing and planing let alone actually milling your own lumber.
+Way Woodworking thanks! :)
I love your velios,I watch all of them at least 2 times.I can imagine me making beautiful

BEAUTIFUL TABLE!!!
With a little care, one day, your great great grandchildren will still be enjoying it.
+Phil.Paula Stocks thank you!!
Matt is a hoss!! Some of that lumber could have squashed you flat, but you muscle it around no problem. Super high quality piece Matt.
Amazing job Matt. A pile of puzzle pieces that fitted together to make a beautiful table.
You do excellent work on that table an benches, it so nice to see someone as young as you are take an interest in doing that kind of work! You don't see that anymore, keep up the good work
Thank you!

That table is absolutely stunning.
Such a beautiful table and benches.
Thanks!
I’m really very glad that the finish you applied to that beautiful and extremely well built table has held up to the weather sooooo well.

Hammering the joints together with the soothing sound of slamming a door in a Mercedes S class. Soft "swoosh". Niiice
Beautiful table and benches. I loved seeing the tenons and dowels technique you used to join the pieces together, seems like a great way to do it.
Matt don't tell Marc, but this is my favorite guild build! So much information in the build! I loved it!
awwww come one. I don't get to rub much in his face :P
Matthew Cremona hahaha
Beautiful table! Now I have an idea what to do with my white oak logs ;)
I am envious of this outdoor table. It is beautiful and functional. I am sure it weighs a ton but was built to last. Another great build Matt
This is the 6th time I have watched this!
Fabulous Table &Benches - well done!
Thank you!
I have the timber, alas, I don't have the skill - if you fancy a trip to Sweden - board and lodge covered - your part in this transaction - build me a table and benches - 😀😀😀😀😀

Thanks Brad!
Excellent video Matt!!! The table looks amazing and your editing was fantastic. You condensed so much work into a ten minute video without speeding up the footage once! Bravo sir!! :)
Going old school on this build. Using the table top as a workbench on some sawhorses. ;) Great job on the table. Looks like it gets lots of use.
Outdoor projects always make me slow down just thinking about how weather will affect it. Mad respect, this is beautiful.
Damn Matt, you worked hard for this one. Milling the lumber looks like a lot of work! Great job on the table and the benches, they look great!
It’s kind of amazing watching the same person so the heavy work of slabbing and the delicate hand tool joinery.
Matt - Beautiful table and bench. This had to be one of the more challenging projects that you built. Beginning with the large slabs and all the milling. Looked as though the table was too big for the tools. I know that this was also time consuming, but I would like to see more projects, using those big slabs. How about it Matt?
I have a lot of future projects stacked behind my shed right now :)
I’ve never done breadboard ends. I think I’m ready now. Thanks for update and the build video.
It's a Mammoth build. It always astounds me to see this table in your videos. I love the finish :)
+The Wood Yogi thank you!
Nice job Matt. Glad to see you using Epifanes. It is the very best, and worth all the effort.
Matt. Outstanding. You are great. Thanks
Nice to see that the Epifanes is holding up so well, Matt.
What an awesome huge build.
+Jim Dockrell thanks Jim!
That's a skillsaw right there! Holy moly I've never seen one that big!
Hello there Matthew,
I have appreciation for working with hardwood although I do not get much of a chance to work with anything but greatly appreciate your content especially your picnic table came out nice.
Incredible workmanship..it really is something of beauty..
There were certainly a lot of us admiring that table and benches at your open house!
+JB Lewis 😄
I would get an ENORMOUS !!! tarp and cover the table during winter. Looks beautiful.
That's a beautiful monster. Amazing how well the finish is holding up. Believe it could hold up your car if the need arises.
You make working with that heavy stock look so easy.
Some old school footage! Dema and chainsaw milling. I feel like I've seen this table before. I guess that what I get for following your progress so much. Looks great.
lol! Nostalgia!
You are crazy that thing is massive! I love it! Not to mention the massive tools you have. Love your channel. Thanks. Mike
thanks Mike!
Such a beautiful project. Looks like it will last hundreds of years
thank you!
HECK YES!!! Matt, you nailed it! I am one of your biggest fans and you never disappoint. Keep up the great work and thanks for doing all you do. Heading over to the guild now.

What a beast of a table
+Thomas Pinello 😁
You spelled man wrong.
Your builds are awesome! I love how you take it to the next level and do stuff that you don’t typically see on YT.
Thanks Joe!
Man, lovely table. I enjoy your work and commentary.
Matt, you did a wonderful job on this project.
+Ron Briz thanks Ron!
Exceptional work! Maybe you need to put a forklift on your bucket list.
Nicest table and benches I have ever seen! Well done Matt!
Beautiful table, Matt
thank you!
This is my dream table!!! Excellent excellent skills!
congrats Matt, that is one beautiful table. I really liked the idea of epoxy as a undercoat to stabilize the wood. Never thought of doing that.
Thanks!
What a great table build. Hoping to buy the guild build soon to start on one in the spring time.
What a beast of a table.
A beautiful table and bench set. Totally amazing. Thanks for posting this inspirational video.
+Joseph Bicknell thanks!
WOW !!!! What a project. Looks fantastic !!!!
Nobody is going to steal that table. Great build.
That would be rather impressive. Thanks!
Challenge accepted.
you'll have to make it past the guard dog too
Matthew Cremona Rocky will distract Pancake no problem.
Wow! Nice table! I was curious about how something could be finished to endure outdoor conditions. Very good info- thanks
Being able to both source your own wood and have a mill opens up so many possibilities, imagine if you had to source the materials from a local sawmill, EXPENSIVE
Wow, the set is impressive and finish on it is great!
Thank you!
Such a beautiful table. You're a beast. Well done.
Amazing Matt, what a build! loved seeing all the stages from milling to joinery to finishing. great video!
Thanks Peter!
YOU DID A BANG UP JOB ON THAT ONE MATT.
thanks Mike!
Matt congrats on the table, it is beautiful to see the whole project beginning to end.

Amazing work.just like old school peg barns.that should last till your kids pass them to their grand kids.
Matthew, you are one skilled craftsman and are overflowing with talent my friend!!
You sure know how to handle those huge slabs, looks like you're an engineer...😉
Thank you!
What a beefy table, beautifully made. Keep chucking big timbers like that around and you'll grow some muscles! :D
Gorgeous
thats a massive table!
You have come a long way, Matthew.
Nice build.
thank you!
Matt, impressive, impressive, impressive.
thank you!
You have some serious talent. Very well done!!.
Thanks!
Love the video Matt. Great fast pacing, love all the B-roll footage with narration over top.
thanks!
Amazing job, Matt. Will take some tips for my own projects!! Cheers from Bariloche, Argentina
Thank you!
It's a beautiful job you've done. Congrats!
thanks!
Omg I have to go take nap after watching this. Outstanding job
+Michael Andersen 😴
I’m super jealous! Fantastic job sir. I look forward to having the ability to do this someday.
Thank you!
Barristers bookcase as a suggestion for the next build
Pretty and useful. Enjoy

Matthew Cremona ALWAYS BRO! Hey,, WHAT HAPPENED TO DEMA.??
.HE kinda DISAPPEARED..?🤔
Matt, great coverage of such a lengthy time-lapsing project. Nice work!
Also, I'm amazed that you don't look like an Olympic lifter. Seriously. It seems as though you're lifting slabs or flipping them at least once a week. lol
+Alan R thanks Alan! 💪💪
Awesome work. You do a lot in your one man build!
thanks!
