That looks amazing. The way you've worked the scorching into it, down to a faceted grain with the wax - beautiful.

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Thank you very much! I was surprised how well if came out.

[@FATIMAHALI]

beautiful work 😍

[@dannyminor4647]

Fantastic job. Very satisfying watching you brush the char off. Was not expecting that finish to be under all of that black.

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Thanks Danny, the soft brush worked well keeping the wood intact when removing the char

[@stephenjordan1271]

Amazing, the results are worth it, I liked the finish!

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Thanks Annie!

[@pmjones79]

That finish is amazing.

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Peter, Thanks for the comment. I was very pleased with it too, it wasn't too labour intensive and I think it would be repeatable! If you like it and want to see more things like this subscribe to the channel 😁

Thank you!

[@anniethestar7243]

Great table! Tfs, liked and joined you. See you soon.

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Thanks so much, let me know if you want to see anything.

[@doyleyburger2245]

Very nice sir. Perhaps alternate the grain pattern when lining up the boards to prevent cupping next time. Love the scorch effect 👍

[@HowtoWoodworking]

No cupping, timber was well seasoned and quite thick. Been in the house for a couple of years now...

[@stevefirth9179]

Fantastic job, looks brilliant, what router bit did you use for the edges of the table?

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Thanks Steve! I bought the bit for routing the edge of worktops, I think the intended use is for shaping the top of handrails, it's about 42mm shallow curve...if you need more let me know and I'll have a look for it

[@stevefirth9179]

@@HowtoWoodworking thats perfect thanks very much 👍

[@ethanfkeys]

What electric planer do you use please? All the others I've seen used table saws which I don't have, so interested to know what you used.

[@HowtoWoodworking]

I use a bosch, not sure of the model, but it runs true.

[@downhilldave12]

Nice table , but i expect its started warping as two of the boards are the same orientation .

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Still a nice table after 2 years, if you allow the timber acclimatise in the area you use it you'll get minimal movement...just don't try to restrain it! 😉

[@lewishall5118]

Lovely job 👍🏻 I’d invest in a circular saw though 😁

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Thanks Lewis, where would you have used one? I do have one, but I always worry about breakout across the grain.

[@hitchjack]

@@HowtoWoodworking you would have got a much cleaner cut on the edges.

[@HowtoWoodworking]

@@hitchjack I think you're right that the edges would be cleaner...but I would still need to plane and match so in this case it wouldn't save and require an additional expensive tool.

[@michaelrobinson5598]

yep, deserved a like and a comment to say i like....

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@themightykabool]

Wow didnt know fire could colour that nice

[@HowtoWoodworking]

Hey, thanks! Check out the arcade table if you liked this!

[@agrafes6]

When the knot flew out, why not turn the table over, as it didn’t seem to be as bad on the other side?
Just an observation. 🤷‍♂️
💂‍♂️🇬🇧

[@HowtoWoodworking]

possibly, but it would have still shown as it was on the edge. I would've picked the best side to be on top so id have to of had the rejected side and i only had to maye 3/4 of an inch...you have to take a view when your doing it, but either way could've worked

[@TheVinn3h]

Briwax is the absolute bomb easiest finish i have ever used

[@HowtoWoodworking]

i agree
