Hey everyone it's Dylan from The Black Forest
Wood Company and we just finished our 20-foot Bastogne walnut resin cast dining table our whole
team absolutely killed it on this piece this is probably one of the nicest tables we have made in
a long time and it's the biggest table we've ever made with resin one of the most expensive tables
we've ever done too this one ended up selling for around forty thousand dollars Canadian and
we're going to show you guys the whole process of us making it in this video so obviously a lot
of effort went into this so if you guys can like comment and subscribe that really means a
lot to us and i will be quiet now so we can watch this table come to life we just got this
from GL Veneer it's a $40K dining table that we're starting to work on uh 20 feet long it's going to be huge and we're not doing it in two pieces so it's going to be really really heavy as
well so we've got it on the trailer we're finally ready to start working on it and we're going to
use the forerunner to get it pulled in so it's there you go you can see it weighing
down the 4runner it's going to be kind of a little sketchy method of doing
this but it should work pretty good this is the largest single pour that we've
ever done it ended up needing 255 litres and we're doing a smoky grey resin on it when it comes to pouring now there's honestly
no real method to it like we get questions a lot like why do you guys pour on the wood why
do you pour in the mould and it's usually just random whatever's more convenient if you pour
on the wood you can kind of eliminate some of the bubbles that are created but since our
resin has such a low viscosity, to begin with even if you just dump this bucket in all at once
all the bubbles would probably still come out and now we got to get it back down so
if it wasn't hard enough to lift that slab up we've added about 600 pounds in resin
to make it even more challenging so you'll see what we do but this time we're going to
utilize two forklifts instead of just one and then we'll slowly bring this thing down
and get it onto the CNC so we can relax again right here we're using our festool
track saw just to size this table it does still work after last week when we cut the
river rocks with it they're tough saws so we just we cut the length first then we go parallel or
perpendicular sorry with the ends and trim those with the track saw though one tip i
should mention is to take multiple passes because if you do it all at
once the saw is just going to bind up another important step when you're
working with slabs of wood that are extra wide is to install c channels so that's
what we're routing in here right now is two little grooves so that that seat channel can slide
in and be attached to the underside of the table on river tables though where you split the piece
of wood and it's not as wide c channels usually aren't required now ben is applying the first
coat of our black forest furniture oil so i want to mention this product because we've been teasing
it for a little while it is nearly done haley has finalized all of the labels and we're just waiting
on some french translation and i would say within the next couple weeks here we'll be able to start
taking orders and getting this oil shipped out to you guys we have used lots of different oil
products on the market and you know good and bad osmo is what we've used for a long time and
overall we're very happy with it we would still recommend it to people but we just found we got
that little bit extra moisture stain protection that we have been looking for for a long time and
then you can even combine our furniture oil with our black forest ceramics which are available now
to get even better water protection a higher shine it actually makes the surface hydrophobic and
it will increase abrasion resistance as well all right so we've got the table all finished up
here it's again 20 feet long five feet wide we use our black forest deep resin the wood is bastone
walnut and the total table weight is somewhere above like 1500 pounds it is a very very heavy
piece a huge thank you though to our client for letting us build this for him it's such a
spectacular piece and just the colors in this especially once you get it out in the
sunlight you can really see that contrast so it is going to be getting shipped down
to him in the united states unfortunately we can't go deliver this but we will try and get some
photos from him after it's all set up in his home this is the giant crate for the table uh by far
the biggest table crate that we've ever gotten and as i'm sure a lot of you probably know the
price of lumber is insane right now so this crate actually costs us thousands of dollars um that's
just the way things go unfortunately at this time but the whole inside gets lined with foam the
table will go inside and then it's going to go on a dedicated truck all the way down to our
client in north carolina and then he's hiring a moving company to help take everything off the
truck and like i said he'll probably get some photos so we're looking forward to that and as
soon as we have photos we'll probably put them on our instagram if you guys want to follow us
you can check them out there but thank you guys for watching this build uh this is a lot of fun
a 40 000 dining table I just can't get over that so if you guys enjoyed show us some love like
comment subscribe and we'll see you next week
