This is fantastic honestly. The only giveaway for me is that there’s no checking, but very few people would even notice. Definitely got me inspiration for the day 😊
Thanks a lot for the compliment. I had actually tested adding checking by cutting small slots and cracking them apart with a chisel. The technique worked pretty well but it was difficult to control the depth of the resulting crack and sometimes you would be able to see into the hollow beam. So, I ended up skipping it on this project, but my tests that cracked all the way through the board actually gave me an idea for another design. I just need more time to actually follow through on all my project ideas. 🙂
@@ScaredButIntrigued Thank you for the kind words. I’m hoping to have some more videos soon. I have several projects I’m working on right now. I just need to actually finish one so I can put a video together. 🙂
@@Kernowwoods Thanks for the compliment. I do like how this technique turned out. I definitely plan on using a similar approach for a handful of other projects on my list.
@@gueramercado The color is actually a two step process. The first step is to whitewash the wood with watered down, off white paint. This whitewash base coat helps hide the yellow color of the pine. I used a 1:1 ratio of water to paint. I wiped the paint/water mixture on, let it dry for about 30 - 60 seconds and wiped off any excess paint. Once the whole thing was dry to the touch, I moved on to the second step. The second step was just wiping on Minwax Aged Oak Gel Stain and almost immediately wiping it off. How long you leave the stain on completely depends on how dark you want the color. The longer you leave the stain on, the darker the final color is.
@@TheBandit5001 It’s actually really stable since the legs are so wide and the dovetail won’t let the top move back and forth much at all. Once you get it set, it doesn’t move unless you grab a leg by the bottom and pull. Even then, it barely moves out of square and that’s only because I left a little bit of wiggle room around the dovetail to make assembly easier. If it did become a problem, it could easily be solved with a couple of hidden angle brackets underneath the top beam and some screws to attach it to the inside of the legs. If you look closely, you can see that RH actually does something similar with theirs.
Thank you for thinking it's nice enough to sell. Unfortunately, selling furniture is quite a bit more complicated than I'm ready for at the moment. Shipping alone is a nightmare. But thank you again. Someone offering to part with their hard earned money for something I made is a true a compliment.

@@814creativethank you for your reply
Looks amazing. Does it wobble? Couldn’t tell if it had some playing it back and forth.

I’m looking for this table from last 4 months in Australia but can’t find it
I wish I could help. Have you tried Etsy? It's usually one of my first stops when I'm looking for something unique.
This is so cool! How much was the lumber ?
Since I just used regular framing lumber, it was very inexpensive. The lumber ended up only costing about $80 USD.
@@814creative insane. Looks awesome . Thx for
Do you sell that template? Or the cnc file ?
Unfortunately, I don't have a template. The best I have are the dimensions I specify in the video at 1:07. Sorry.
You should sale it, I need one of 42"L
