Thanks Tom! When I called that company I was so surprised they immediately remembered the exact log and got back to me within 20 minutes with the original pictures.
¡Gracias! Estas grandes tablas de madera tienden a combarse o doblarse con el tiempo, lo cual puede hacer que se agrieten mucho o incluso peor. El canal en forma de “C” que coloqué en la parte inferior permitirá un ligero movimiento con el tiempo, como sucede con los cambios normales de temperatura, pero evitará que la mesa se deforme y se agriete. ¡Gracias por ver el video!
I don’t know the science of it all, but if you just sand through and put a coat of finish; it causes the fibers to stand up and it’ll still feel really rough, even though it’s shiny , but taking a break to throw some water on it and knocking all those fibers down makes it slicker’n snot. 😆
Thank you! The folks that I bought it from, and their distributor called it “Eyeck” (pronounced I-yeck) and the info the distributor sent me said the botanical name was “Pachyelasma Tessmannii.”
Great Video! You really did a good job showing the steps of the process and it turned out really nice. Was that blue cabinet one of your videos in the reveal?
Thank you! Up close it was “streaking” which was probably not an issue I’d just never done it before and got a little nervous. 😃 The reason I applied the second coat is actually because Cams got a great table finishing class that I watched where he said he worked with Rubio to develop that whole “red scotchbrite and second coat process.” Up close it really did look a bit shinier after.
Skål 🫡 .. Good work brother . Very nice table . 🎉
Skål! Thank you, sir!
Dang, that's a good-looking build! Super impressive!

Love how the table turned out. That is a beautiful slab, loved seeing the picture of the log it came from as well!

U do beautiful work. So glad I found your channel. From your old buddy Josh from the Babbage.
Thanks Josh!! Good to hear from you, and I hope you're doing well!
@@BearhawkStudio Jason sent me your video. We'll get in touch through him. Much love buddy
Great job man. I love doing slab tables. I buy the legs though... you don't want me welding anything lol
Thank you! I had a blast and can’t wait to do some more!
@@BearhawkStudio I need to get some information from you about that lumber yard.
Absolutely. There was the local guys and then the importer themselves. Just reach out and lemme know what you need!
Looks great mate! Well done! The table looks great
Thanks Tom! And thanks for watching!
Hermoso Trabajo, Felicidades!!!
No comprendí el por que hacer los refuerzos paralelos a donde pone las bases metálicas. Gracias

Looks amazing!!! How does the water make the grain stand up and what does that really mean?

It's beautiful. What kind of wood is that again?

Thank you! Yes that was the Heirloom restoration I did a few videos back. Good eye!
I didn't see any issues with your first Rubio application...I've watched Cam Anderson apply it the same way many times. Looks great

Thank you! We love how it turned out!
Fantastic! That table makes me want to drink a flagon of mead! Skal!
Skål! 🍻
