Stump to Table - Woodworking Projects

Turkey: I'd prefer the crack to be filled with epoxy, it's not only much easier to maintain (from any liquid spill or dust that will eventually start accumulating) but it will also make the piece stronger and in case there is an accidental hit or drop wouldn't break down.

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans youtube.com/post/UgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR… i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

The top cracks would look good filled, rest of them left unfilled. Great job, wonderful video.

My dad was a master chainsaw sculptor back in the 80's. He was a lawnmower repair technician by trade, so he was always around chainsaws. At tech conferences, they would hold carving competitions. He won many, being the champ 5 years in a row. The last one he did, it was a timed competition. They gave the participant a piece of a log, a selection of chainsaws (Weedeater brand at the time), and everyone had to carve the same thing. The item was a cowboy boot. He literally took his boot off and made an exact replica of it. Even down to the pull straps. It looked so real.

Turkey. I really appreciate your honesty regarding money, sponsors etc. A lot of people beat around the bush saying they need likes to know you've enjoyed, but you're honest in saying it's to appease sponsors. I like that in a creator, the fact that you're honest with your audience.

Turkey - epoxy the cracks. You’ll still see the beauty of the imperfections (you might even be able to enhance them), but the strength of the epoxy will allow people to enjoy the piece for decades, without having to worry about an accidental tumble causing a break.

Prrrr I love the cracks - natural look

Turkey!!! Love the name. The cracks are what make the table so organic. Leave the cracks

love the table, really good job with the bow ties. addressing the cracks question, my opinion would be to fill them with a super clear epoxy that way you bet the bonding from the epoxy and a clear view of the cracks (kind of best of both worlds) Keep up the amazing work you are doing.

Turkey! I just wanted to say that I love how transparent you are about sponsorship and affiliate links. It’s refreshing. I’ve seen a lot of creators that try to avoid the topic of making money from content. So, thank you for your honesty. It’s appreciated.

TURKEY!! I love everything about this side table!! I have a perfect place for it. ❤❤❤

Turkey! Turkey was the name of my doggy when I was 8! I think the natural form and cracks are what make wood special. Walnut, whether black or English, is the best, hands down. Doing what makes you feel alive, making art, creating, is the reason we’re here.

Hey Cam, those chain saw carving disks are the worst, most dangerous power carvers ever made, I'd stay away from them, I've seen them fly apart and do major damage to skin. Use the carbide carvers, much safer.

Turkey. The cracks add character! However, I wouldn’t be adverse to see the effect of an epoxy fill and the outcome...maybe in just the larger cracks.

Turkey. I love the more natural, cracked up look. I think it’s amazing! Pro-crack here.

Turkey , amazing how you turned that trunk into a table, I do like the dark bow ties.

Turkey, embrace the natural beauty. It is sincere, literally from the Latin “without wax” or resin in your case.

Best employee, no sick days, no vacation days, never talks back, never asks for a raise, always gets the job done.

Turkey... I like the piece , the cracks, thw rounded bow ties, and the craftsmanship. Thank you Buffalo Bruce

Turkey. I love with the cracks, personally. I really love when you can feel the character of the wood under your fingers, rather than the smoothness of epoxy. Personal preference. Its definitely harder to maintain in the long run, but for aesthetics, it's captivating.
