Purists Will HATE What I Did To This Wood



A rare mappa burl slab is fixed with gold kintsugi. Check out Growatt’s Infinity 1500 here: https://growattportable.com/. When this cookie live edge slab arrived it broke in half. I fixed it using epoxy resin and kintsugi gold leaf inlay to make a 60 inch round live edge dining table. I got the map,pa burl slab from https://hamiltonleesupply.com.

  1. Curious – how come you don't overfill the epox to fill the holes on the top and then plane it down ? Cost or technique ?

  2. Where in Oklahoma are you from, Woodward is where I went to HS
    I liked your video and I subscribed

  3. Very cool. Wear a respirator with epoxy. Just found a bunch of horror stories off people that are not healthy anymore from epoxy. I've changed my safety game with epoxy. Great video brother.

  4. The black stain, I’m not a real fan of black, but it worked, it’s your table so do it the way you like. Thank You Sir.

  5. Why not getting some bug netting and 4 poles to cover up so you dont get more flies or bugs in the resin?

  6. I love it when your daughters in the videos seeing families being happy, and having fun makes the videos better. It’s part of the reason why I like, watching fab rats, or Matts off-road recovery

  7. I gave you like because your daughter was in the video and I wanted to prove that having family makes videos better but that table was not pretty I think stating that one was a big mistake and the gold flake doesn’t really come out in the video so it looks like glue or yellow

  8. would have been an amazing multi piece coffee table that you can setup in a circle or move around

  9. Honestly if you ever got a broken piece of wood again then you should do this, but mix the dust with the Epoxy. I know that sounds bad, but… it might help a little bit. But then again I haven't ever used epoxy myself so what do I know?

  10. Thank you! Bruce Springsteen is the most overrated musician in the world!
    Bruce gets the unprecedented five thumbs down !
    👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

  11. When will epoxy and tabletops not be combined in every YouTube video. Master carpentry, not arts and crafts.

  12. It's a beautiful piece it was well done. Personally however I think the brightness of the gold clashes with the stain. I think a softer stain and a less shiny inlay (copper) would have prevented the look of 70ish Chinese furniture.

  13. Omg there was never no connection no shit. We ain't stupid. Now it's so horrible. No way you can make anything out of this encridibly valuable wood. Just no way anything good could come from amazing wood but look. !!!!! These idiots made stuff out of beautiful wood. No way the wood was any good. These men are heroes. Walla these idiots got your watch and made money by pouring nasty shit on wood. No I'm no activist. These dudes are just beyond annoying and suck
