I watched this with more interest as usual....because yes people,I am the proud owner of this beautiful table! Thanx for reminding me not to drop it on my hands while assembling it😂And I will remind you one last time: an artist should always sign his work!Thank you so much for this beautiful table.It turned out exactly as I hoped🫂❤️🇳🇱
I was a custom furniture maker and also a wild land firefighter. I now make tables from salvaged wood from wild fire areas. I really appreciate your talent and attention to detail. I am currently making a number of table tops from a very large Ponderosa pine that was hit by lightening on my property. I find that it relaxes me and seeing that I do not make anything except for family and friends. I really appreciate that you younger people ( I am almost 80) are doing something with your hands. Mike Rowe is my hero for promoting hands on work. I subscribed and look forward to your videos. Thank you!
I like Mike Rowe too. I got a little worried when he was doing ads for Ben Franklin plumbing. There may be some honest shops under that name, but the overwhelming experience I have had ( 15 years in the Bay Area as a plumbing inspector) is horrible. I actually applied for a job with them when I first moved here and was repulsed by their high pressure attitude. I mentioned this on his page, and he no longer does ads for them. Perhaps if people had little respect for blue collar tradesmen, instead of hiring the absolute cheapest people they can find, perhaps outfits like Ben Franklin wouldn't have to resort to high pressure sales tactics in order to make a DECENT living instead of just scraping by. Life isn't all bad. A couple weeks ago I found a Craftsman jointer sitting at the curb for free. The thing has 6" blades, the upper portion that sits on a stand that houses the motor weighs 120 lbs. I'm figuring late '60's maybe early '70's? I love how quiet belt drive tools are. Not bad for my first jointer! I have been making Telecastr tile guitars lately ....
I don’t make a living at woodworking, since retiring and inheriting my father’s woodworking equipment, what I do is for personal enjoyment. The projects that I have used epoxy on with flat surfaces I have found parchment paper allows epoxy to come off very easily! Enjoyed your video!
Wow…. The way you aligned those wood patterns and then cut out an ellipse from them is (chef's kiss!) … it looks like that was cut from one single piece! Awesome job! Beautiful work…
I really like woodworkers like you. Sustainable. Using the wood from already dead tree is amazing way to preserve the legacy that the tree left behind. And, beautiful it is. Imo, calling it beautiful is an understatement.
How is pouring plastic, made from fossil fuel “sustainable”?? Bin the scraps in the forest and let mushrooms grow, make furniture from proper lumber. That’s sustainable.
Wow! Just wow! What an incredibly beautiful table! I don't remember you mentioning how many hours you invested into this project, but I sure hope you got your money's worth. Wow!
I really like Olive wood. I've seen a few other tables made from it and it is always beautiful. It came out very well. I think it was worth all the effort.
It's amazing how many artisans say how lucky they are to be doing a job they love. I don't think it's luck so much as dedication to your art, you work extremely hard to achieve fantastic results. We are the lucky ones who you share your experience with. Thanks.
@@marmotaworksso the reason shadowy elites want people to believe the earth is a sphere is to help people forget God, that He is sovereign. It’s to promote nihilism. If you’re just an evolved worm on a tiny speck of dust in a massive empty universe, nothing you do matters. Might as well live poorly, no need to respect creation. This is a shortened version of the explanation but it’s always a luciferian cult that sacrifices children for power (see Epstein) that is literally working with demons (they’re enslaved to the demons actually) Hope this helps explain why people would think that. (See Jon Pageau “Meaning of Flat Earth” for a different angle on this)
You weren't kidding when you said never seen before in the intro! I have not seen this level of attention to detail to get the grain pattern aligned.. You did justice to the 800 year old tree! ❤
That was very impressive. You could have thrown all the pieces in a mold and poured a whole lot of plastic epoxy over the whole thing and finished the table much faster. But you took the time to do some good woodworking that greatly cut down on the amount of epoxy used and came out with a much better looking result.
I am not a woodworker but I am subscribed to numerous woodworking channels. From building to restoring furniture. The one thing I am after in each video is the moment the wood pop when in get stained or oiled or whatever to bring out it's beautiful grain and colours. The satisfaction is enormous! This table is a true gem with all those beautiful patterns in the wood. A tree take such a long time to grow and mature and every attempt the tree made to be what it is, is captured in the grain. It's almost holy to admire the end result. Well done with this build. It's absolutely beautiful 😍
Stunning at every level the wood, the build method, your presentation style... Most of all I love that you did it with approachable, real-world tools. Not often I get emotionally involved with a RUclips slab table build, thanks.
I really like the monolithic quality of the tabletop but also being able to make out the individual planks. You really have become a master at piecing wood together to take advantage of its grain and pattern. Gorgeous piece.
Olive wood looks soooo good with all the swirls. It’s like when coffee creamer his the coffee before you stir it in. I think the color of it with that finish would go well with gold foil.
I have this exact idea and with exact wood. I have been drying some olive for past 2 years and planning to work on it coming summer. I am so glad I can see this idea implementation in action by a master craftsman to get tips and plan my build! thanks again! Mine would be a big dining table.
@@marmotaworks I loved your idea of blue tape to transfer the edge and using biscuit jointer for the alignment. Definitely going to use that but I also need to plan for flipping the table. It would be heavy especially dining table size. This was very helpful!
@@marmotaworks btw I found that sanding lightly on the rough wood pull out the grains better and its less work due to sander. That helps during planning.
I absolutely love Olive wood. I have a crochet hook that was hand carved. It is one of my favorites. It feels warm in my hand, and it is so pretty. Thank you for sharing your method of matching the grain on diff pieces. I have never seen it before, and it turned out beautiful 😁😁💕
I hope this channel grows. The storytelling is awesome. I remember working on an olive slab with friends. We sanded it and the grain that came out was so mesmerizing: it was so dense that it looked like hair suspended in water! Here's to alternative methods of building and alternative choices of wood. Cheers!
I like your technique of joining along the grain contours, just a really lovely table. Also, I’m amazed you don’t have far more subscribers. Finally I’ve (almost) gotten used to the voiceover.
The olive wood table looks amazing! I love the attention to detail. I couldn’t agree more that the most satisfying part of builds is applying the finish and watching the grain pop. 👍
This table turned out gorgeous! I love your construction methods, very clever and well thought out. And I appreciate your running commentary and sense of humor,😆 it's way better than a blaring musical track. Very enjoyable video👍
You did a fantastic job joining all those pieces of wood together. Honestly I would have to look pretty hard to find the joints. I love the grain pattern. I hope the owner is pleased.
Hi. This is the first video of yours that I've seen. You do superior work. The overlap technique reminded me of installing a linoleum floor with my Dad when I was a kid. We overlapped it when at the joints so it fit together perfectly when cut. I never thought of doing it with wood. Well played, Sir. I enjoy your dry sense of humor. You have a new subscriber. Enjoy the day. -Mark- P.S. You don't charge enough for your work ...
I once met an Israeli lady selling things carved out of olive wood not only were they some of the nicest hand carved things i had seen but the wood was beautiful
I really enjoyed watching your video, what an awesome table, to see the transformation is incredible. I love that you narrated everything great build and great narration. You inspire me to take my wood working to higher more challenging levels. Thank you.
I just want to say that, as a novice wood worker who has mostly only built furniture for himself, I think you did an amazing job on this piece. I aspire every day to be able to make a business from my wood work, but I have been too afraid to try and get my name out there. But you have taken the leap and done something with it and that takes a lot of effort. Especially when, in this video, you openly compare yourself to the likes of Blacktail Studio. Don't forget, he had humble beginnings too. If you watch his early videos when he first got started, he didn't have anywhere near the following he has today. But talent brings views, and you have the talent for sure. Hopefully one day, I'll take the leap and invest the money in myself to start a wood working business. I'd be much happier than I am in my current career. You got a sub from me for this video. And I'd love to hear some details sometime about how you got started with RUclips and began getting your sponsors. A humble beginning story can be very motivating to some. Good luck to you!
I was fortunate to arrive at my son's house shortly after he took down an olive tree that was dropping kalamata olives onto his new white GMC pickup truck. I sawed the logs on my band saw right away and stacked them to dry for about a year. I didn't really appreciate the beauty of this olive wood till I surface planed it. From that wood I was able to build several boxes for storing common kitchen items, plastic baggies, plastic wrap, cooking utensils, and finished them with several coats of polyurethane. The grain and color was almost identical to your table build. I didn't have near as large pieces to work with that your table required. Indeed this wood is extremely dense but was a pleasure to work with. Those boxes should remind him of the beauty inside the tree that was once growing in his back yard.
Nice to see more of that smiling face of yours, you seem to be getting more comfortable with the camera. I hope the client liked the table, it’s beautiful Schönes Wochenende
Thank you very much! 😊 Honestly, I’ve never had a problem being in front of the camera; I just think that viewers of these videos are more interested in woodworking than in seeing who’s doing it.
Wonderful table and I love your no nonsense narrative style. BTW, have you ever thought about selling your offcuts as pen blanks to custom pen makers? You might have to slice them to rough dimension, but exotic woods are always in demand by these guys.
The table came out beautifully 😍 Olive Wood is a fantastic wood to make custom pipes for tobacco and other smoking products. The same wood could have been made into a hundred pipes that could sell for hundreds of dollars to over a thousand dollars each.
Where did you learn your woodworking skills you are a master of your craft for certain,this table is a genuine one off and incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💙💙💙🐞🦋🐝
Thank you, Miguel for another great video. It's always a good day when I see Marmota Works in my RUclips feed. The client should be pleased with that table, it's beautiful. 😎
Nice Work. I suggest using wooden wedges or shims to pry the table off of the mold. I use wedges to easily spread framing lumber apart after it has been peppered with dozens of nails.
I made a small table using crepe myrtle. It is a hard dense wood with some beautiful grain. I’ve made pens with olive wood and see a lot of similarities. I enjoyed watching you match the edges. The final result was beautiful. Thanks
First of all you have built a stunning piece there, really well executed with the curved sides joining in a natural way. For future builds I would recommend you getting a pair of Grabo, they are amazing at moving around heavy items 👍
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your technique of matching the pieces up by their grain... that looks AMAZING!!!! I've never seen that done before and I think it's BEAUTIFUL!!!! and with such tight grains from this ANCIENT OLIVE tree I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY now that I've seen it!!! Of course there are a few small differences with what I would have done, but I think EVERYONE tells the comment section how THEY would have done it... I just hope you don't get offended when people say things like that... I've seen it happen quite a few times where the channel will even bring it up in their next video.... but they must be looking at things all wrong... When people say "I would have done this a little different" or "it would look better if this was done this way" they aren't trying to tell the maker that it looks bad and should be THIS way.... they're trying to get the maker to think about how it would have come out if they did it their way and probably just want the maker's opinion.... IDK why I just brought that up LOL ... oh it's because I was gonna say something about clear epoxy and being able to see the edge that black epoxy is hiding.. but I thin I say that to makers every time they use solid colors (almost ALWAYS black)... I just LOVE seeing the depth inside the epoxy and how the light plays with the shadows on the live edge of the wood.... I was hoping to see it on such a rare piece wood... but to each their own... and this was a clients table, so it was done THEIR way :) It turned out GORGEOUS tho!!! Ohh.. the yellowing that you mentioned from the finish... I totally see what they're talking about, BUT it's not the wood turning yellow.... I think it's a combination of things that are making the yellow stand out on video.... from the lighting in the room, to the settings on your camera, and the natural yellow of most woods, to the finish causing the natural colors to intensify, and many MANY other factors that make the yellow stand out the same way that redwood suddenly becomes MUCH MORE RED when it gets wet... IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL and NOTHING to worry about... as you are aware I am THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED! I can't even tell that there are multiple pieces making up the table, and that blows me away! I cannot wait to see what you do next!!! Keep up the AMAZING WORK!

I was fortunate to arrive at my son's house shortly after he took down an olive tree that was dropping kalamata olives onto his new white GMC pickup truck. I sawed the logs on my band saw right away and stacked them to dry for about a year. I didn't really appreciate the beauty of this olive wood till I surface planed it. From that wood I was able to build several boxes for storing common kitchen items, plastic baggies, plastic wrap, cooking utensils, and finished them with several coats of polyurethane.

I made a small table using crepe myrtle. It is a hard dense wood with some beautiful grain. I’ve made pens with olive wood and see a lot of similarities. I enjoyed watching you match the edges. The final result was beautiful. Thanks
I've never worked with that wood
It’s beautiful. and I really liked that you use the woods true grain to put them together. Excuse my English
Thank you for this excellent educational video. You have inspired me to take on some furniture projects of my own. Carry On Sir.
Thanks. I'll do it
Zevkle izledim sen gerçekten harika işler yapıyorsun devamını diliyorum
Harikasın dostum 👍🏻
Thank you very much
First time watching your videos. I like your work very much. Thank you.
I'm glad you like it
Çok güzel olmuş, eline sağlık.
Many thanks
First of all you have built a stunning piece there, really well executed with the curved sides joining in a natural way.
For future builds I would recommend you getting a pair of Grabo, they are amazing at moving around heavy items 👍
Yes... You are not the first saying that
Right?😂
Stunning wood! Olive wood is one of my favourites!
Me too
Lovely affect. Nice build & video! Cheers!🎉
Thanks a lot
Excellent work my friend, I love it!
Thanks a lot
good job. just like this. talk about your project. 😍😊
👍
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your technique of matching the pieces up by their grain... that looks AMAZING!!!! I've never seen that done before and I think it's BEAUTIFUL!!!! and with such tight grains from this ANCIENT OLIVE tree I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY now that I've seen it!!!
Of course there are a few small differences with what I would have done, but I think EVERYONE tells the comment section how THEY would have done it... I just hope you don't get offended when people say things like that... I've seen it happen quite a few times where the channel will even bring it up in their next video.... but they must be looking at things all wrong... When people say "I would have done this a little different" or "it would look better if this was done this way" they aren't trying to tell the maker that it looks bad and should be THIS way.... they're trying to get the maker to think about how it would have come out if they did it their way and probably just want the maker's opinion....
IDK why I just brought that up LOL ... oh it's because I was gonna say something about clear epoxy and being able to see the edge that black epoxy is hiding.. but I thin I say that to makers every time they use solid colors (almost ALWAYS black)... I just LOVE seeing the depth inside the epoxy and how the light plays with the shadows on the live edge of the wood.... I was hoping to see it on such a rare piece wood... but to each their own... and this was a clients table, so it was done THEIR way :)
It turned out GORGEOUS tho!!! Ohh.. the yellowing that you mentioned from the finish... I totally see what they're talking about, BUT it's not the wood turning yellow.... I think it's a combination of things that are making the yellow stand out on video.... from the lighting in the room, to the settings on your camera, and the natural yellow of most woods, to the finish causing the natural colors to intensify, and many MANY other factors that make the yellow stand out the same way that redwood suddenly becomes MUCH MORE RED when it gets wet... IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL and NOTHING to worry about... as you are aware
I am THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED! I can't even tell that there are multiple pieces making up the table, and that blows me away! I cannot wait to see what you do next!!! Keep up the AMAZING WORK!
Thank you very much for your comment. Personally, I like all those comments; sometimes I get interesting ideas from them.
Beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you!
Fantastic table it's a beautiful peice
Many thanks
Finally a no nonsense skilled wood worker. Great table. STAY HUMBLE👍😄 how much did you sell the table for??
Thank you! I sold it for a fair amount for both parties, or at least I hope so.
You did. For me, it's priceless!
Like the cut technique to match up the boards.
👍
That olive wood is beautiful! You did a great job, man. That splicing turned out great 👍👍
😄
I have seen a little bit of this technique, but on a much smaller scale and not n furniture. It is a piece of art.
I'm glad you like it
Need more proof that your work is absolutely awesome?😂
@@elliepascoe5954 😅
You're right, that yellowing in the finish disappeared. Very pretty grain structure in the wood. Nice job
Thank you
