@Ron Joosse I've no idea if he could, but if he does it might strain their relationship. The provider might think this was preventable and be less keen on selling again.
Honestly, I feel like this SHOULD be a wall piece like any other piece of art. Forget using it as a table where kids, family, friends, etc. will be dinging it and scratching it.
There was more business men like that. Karma will be on your side. It's such a beautiful piece of furniture I love it. Keep up the amazing work. It is amazing 🤩
that's the same feeling you get after a successful accounting work performed and then you total the columns up then you realize your balance sheet does balance. 😪 only legends will understand.
I would have bought it at a discount and let it live out its life as a table, then turn it into a wall piece. I'm not hard to please. This was fkn beautiful
@Dj Canda usually a kiln is used. Air drying with fans and heaters. I assume torching it would burn the outer layer before being able to draw moisture out of the inner layers
@Corbin Salisburyhow does one remove the moisture before putting the epoxy? Just blowtorch it? He previously said in a comment that woodworkers usually double check for pockets of moisture so how do they remove them?
@Wet Stoffels moisture in the piece can cause the wood to change shape underneath the sealant, causing gaps underneath the surface that would make the piece look like it’s falling apart
I think you would of been fine man, sometimes we think about stuff to much and overall its doesn't really matter, I think it would of been great table but looks like a nice wall piece for sure
This is the first Clip-Share short I’ve ever seen where someone is actually trying to make sense of what’s going on. And usually, shorts make zero sense and are missing irreparable amounts of context (and not just because they’re short). So thanks for showing that it’s not unreasonable to want context.
@_Wayward_ don't have to scam people. Could be upfront about the defect and take offers or sell at a heavily discounted price, to reflect how long it could last with the moisture content.
@Mike Byars it's called holding yourself to a high standard. Sure he could've just sold it to some random but he takes pride in his work. You literally just encouraged him to scam people
I'm new to the resin game, so I'm wondering why moisture isn't tested before the pour? Thanks for all the great videos, you will hopefully save me many mistakes!
How do you go about drying your wood slabs before starting a project? Also, what brand is that tool that you used? My apologies for all the questions. I’m new to woodworking
@J D exactly they can’t just like.. sell a table that’s dead wood so it’ll crumble apart, plus the moisture which is another component to make it worsen over time. I get it looks nice but it just doesn’t work
I love the fact you stood behind your work cause you could've sold it anyway. But realistically I think you liked so much that you had to keep it 😂 really a beautiful piece
New subscriber here! I started a firewood hustle last year and it is going great. I get big wood from tree services. I have some black walnut and maple burls. I have no idea how much they are worth. However, I think someone could make something amazing with them. If I can not find someone interested in them I will make firewood out of them.
OMG...that truly sucks! All that work! That would have been such a killer table. It was amazing and even if it's only for a little while it certainly is a magnificent art piece.
I had a custom inlay chess game table made 30 years ago and it was crafted in the rocky mountains at a high altitude. When I brought the chess table home to near sea level, it took about 5 weeks and I heard a loud pop. I looked around for an hour or so and then I finally realized that my chess table had cracked in half from the moisture and the different pressure at sea level. I didn't know that this could occur, but I researched it and got educated on the subject, and it is very real. I spent alot of money to have it built and it cracked in half do to the nature of the wood. It was a sad and expensive lesson I learned that day. I still have that chess table and I never got it repaired. I had another one made for my house but at the same altitude and it has held up for 29 years.
@Shannon Rickard I understand that but how could he tell after he poured resin on it. How come he didn't leave it to dry for longer as it's so big. How come he did not check it before, it's sealed in the resin is it not ok? It can be used as something else but why not a table.
So, you've got talent, skills, a business, AND integrity? Thanks for doing the right thing. You're a good man! I just wish there were a lot more people like you in the world. 👍 Beautiful work!
@Summoner's rift garbage Actually, he didn't say he was making it for himself, he just said he didn't already have a buyer. Putting that aside, I appreciated the fact that once he discovered there was trapped moisture in the table, he didn't use it as an opportunity to sell it to someone who wouldn't have known anything was wrong with it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's a lot of people out there who would have made the same decision. He's not an "Anything for a buck" kind of business man, and that's nice to see. 👍
Wish I had access to equipment like that. I can do some cool stuff w just chisels and hammer. But w that stuff, omg that would be great. Even w the moisture that is amazing.
Curious, if something like this happens, can you get your money back for it, since it was supposed to be dry when you bought it? Or is it sold as-is basically? Could you strip the epoxy and allow it to dry out? It is beautiful as an art piece, but it's such a shame it couldn't be used as you intended
![[CHOREOGRAPHY] 지민 (Jimin) 'Like Crazy' Dance Practice](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uatW2Phormk/mqdefault.jpg)
Someone educate me. How does this happen? can you predict and prevent this issue? beautiful nonetheless
@Blacktail Studio Uncut arr no what a shame that's a real nice pice
@Blacktail Studio Uncut why not just use it anyway?
I would used for entry table with a big jar full of fake flowers 💐 just to show off!! Is a beautiful piece!!
@Ron Joosse I've no idea if he could, but if he does it might strain their relationship. The provider might think this was preventable and be less keen on selling again.
@Blacktail Studio Uncuthow much profit will that table fetch?? Give me a range
really admire he didn’t sell it after finding moisture. could’ve easily gotten away w it but chose to be a decent person instead 👍
This is where an original American product differs from one of the Chines!
What’s wrong with trapped moisture?
W
Agreed
A man of dignity and values.
@Druggy Doggo Tell me that you're vegan... if not - tell me that you're joking.
I wish I could say the same about that poor tree that lived 1000s of years just to be turned into a table
@Subordhana Das Who is gonna know?? Think about what you just asked... 🤦🤦🤦
@TAO TOLOGY Bro could have just sell it like who is gonna know but he didn't
What 'values' here, specifically?
That is the life of a perfectionist, he won't place his name on a flawed product.
*That is the life of a business owner who doesn't wish to self-destruct his entire hard-built brand 🤦
Honestly this should be the standard
Honestly, I feel like this SHOULD be a wall piece like any other piece of art. Forget using it as a table where kids, family, friends, etc. will be dinging it and scratching it.
It’s the kids and extended family. They ruin a lot of nice things.
Awe manmmm,😫😫😫 it looked really good. Your honesty is worth more💪
A businessman with a conscience, I salute you
There was more business men like that. Karma will be on your side. It's such a beautiful piece of furniture I love it. Keep up the amazing work. It is amazing 🤩
@Kevin D. Idk man but I don't think a Short will paying back 1200 bucks
@Kevin D. Pretty sure he would've profited more from the table than a youtube video lol
This conveniently happened on purpose.
It looks even more gorgeous as a wall piece. Just stunning!
Great work. Turn that beautiful wall piece into a clock.
Turn it into a wall clock bro. Its beautiful!
That’s genius lbvs
@Chin Chuck because it would lose structural integrity and break.
@Fuh qew eh, rich people need stuff to spend their money on. This would totally count as a luxury money sink.
$2000 clock 😂
Agreed 101%
I have so much respect for carpenters. I get so frustrated working with wood lol
Always perform a moisture test on anything you plan on applying epoxy, too.
Probably that's why it's called wall nut
Good one! 😃
That's pretty witty. Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good one😜
@Ian James yooooooooooo yes
that's the same feeling you get after a successful accounting work performed and then you total the columns up then you realize your balance sheet does balance. 😪
only legends will understand.
Fuck, I'm working on a piece of art right now and this gives me anxiety. Sometimes things just go horribly wrong :/
Oh my god that's the master of the highest category, he finds the flaw and casts out his own masterpiece. God bless your hands.
Yeah right ! He definitely sold it afterwards.
@user-fu7rz5xg7y that's like asking why some people don't have common sense. Same goes with honesty.
@Lord Lyka true lol
@Jay Kay yep, just like god, he finds our flaws and immediately casts us out.
Ngl this sounds like something the bible says about god and lucifer lmao
Oh man!!! That is the worst feeling. A shared pain.
Seriously man I know the struggle sorry you had to give up all that work and time you put in it looked great!
Honourable man on top of not letting it stop him from finding another use for it. Kudos
@Swag Created most people would probably just sell it anyway
so much people would just drop it right there, but when you actually put the work into it you better have a second choice lol
Man.
MAN.
THAT'S GOTTA SUCK. It's an absolute shame that this beautiful piece ended up being unusable
Even though it saddens me that happened, it's good to know he had the integrity to make that decision.
Honestly I think it’s an incredible wall piece. Having it up like that really lets you admire every detail.
Tbh
Agree!!!! It's more valuable I think
But it's really looking beautiful! Your hard work has come out great!
A very awesome and beautiful wall piece!
I would have bought it at a discount and let it live out its life as a table, then turn it into a wall piece. I'm not hard to please. This was fkn beautiful
@Dj Canda usually a kiln is used. Air drying with fans and heaters. I assume torching it would burn the outer layer before being able to draw moisture out of the inner layers

Facts right here!
Same bro I gotta get in touch with this guy for a table
@Wet Stoffels moisture in the piece can cause the wood to change shape underneath the sealant, causing gaps underneath the surface that would make the piece look like it’s falling apart
I think you would of been fine man, sometimes we think about stuff to much and overall its doesn't really matter, I think it would of been great table but looks like a nice wall piece for sure
I am crying oml this is what I want in my house when I grow up it is so beautiful 😢
This piece is still a striking art work. I wouldn't consider it as "less than" , but rather a unique work that wasn't meant to be a table. Gorgeous.
He literally tried to make a table out of it.
It literally was meant to be a table
@Cool Logic except for the fact that because of the moisture in it, it will crack and begin to fall apart in a few months.
I’m sure he could sell it as an art piece and make well over what he paid for it.
A unique 1200$ hole in his pocket 😂
This is the first Clip-Share short I’ve ever seen where someone is actually trying to make sense of what’s going on. And usually, shorts make zero sense and are missing irreparable amounts of context (and not just because they’re short). So thanks for showing that it’s not unreasonable to want context.
Honestly... thats a truly gorgeous wall mount.
The table was perfection. I don't know how you could bear to part with something like that.
That is so gorgeous bro you should make a clock out of it dude!!!!! That black with gold numbers would just make a show piece!!!
@Mohamed Ahmed Big Ben is the name of the bell, not the clockfaces.
@Dennis Lavoie that would kill the whole piece
@Halcyon Outlander 🤣
Yes indeed hands no numbers just hands
Yes!
That's the most beautiful table I've ever seen
Since the wood is cured would you be able to strip some epoxy off the underside and let it slowly dry then epoxy it again? Just curious
Me looking at my Ikea table that wobbles when I breathe in the same room like "that looks like one sturdy ass table he made."
@_Wayward_ don't have to scam people. Could be upfront about the defect and take offers or sell at a heavily discounted price, to reflect how long it could last with the moisture content.
😅😂
@Mike Byars it's called holding yourself to a high standard. Sure he could've just sold it to some random but he takes pride in his work. You literally just encouraged him to scam people
Just stick a match book under the leg of that IKEA table. #protip
Your comment is hilarious 😂 me looking at my sad table and thinking I'll take your wall hanging table any day. 😆
That's so cool, it really looks like the one from that targeryan castle.
Heck yeah I'd take a sweet looking trapped moisture table any day 🙌 I'll most likely be dead before I notice a difference to it 👍
The raw edge was so beautiful 😭
the table being ruined was karma for getting rid of the raw edge 😂
came here to say this
I love your videos. I also am jealous of your shop. Your attention to detail and patience are just wonderful to watch throughout the process
So sorry it is a gorgeous piece. Couldn't wait to see what you would do I guess we all get caught once in awhile on a project.
That base for it really set it off. The 2 pieces put together is killer.
The base ruined it for me
@Mr. RockeL base did Nuthing for me
@Mr. RockeL I agree, each piece is stunning on its own but together it's too busy
I found it quite the opposite. The base and table as individual pieces look amazing.
I'm new to the resin game, so I'm wondering why moisture isn't tested before the pour?
Thanks for all the great videos, you will hopefully save me many mistakes!
How do you go about drying your wood slabs before starting a project? Also, what brand is that tool that you used? My apologies for all the questions. I’m new to woodworking
I know it didn't turn out the way you thought, but this is absolutely art. Just drop dead gorgeous.
It’s bloody beautiful.
Could you just sand off the bottom epoxy and let it air dry on the back?
Beautiful work. Sucks about the trapped moisture but your integrity earned you another subscriber.
_It makes an awesome wall hanging!_ 🥰 *I'd prefer that to a table.*
Even as a wall piece, ITS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
Some weathered copper, i think, would be a nice thing to use to turn the wall hanger into a huge clock.
Honestly idk why he didn’t sell it as a decoration, shit looks gorgeous and I wouldn’t wanna ruin it by eating on it.
I 100% agree. That’s a beautiful piece.
Would you be able to drill some small breather holes so it can dry? Would it still crack and warp? Thank you for answering our questions!
Could you sand the sealant off the bottom, let it dry, then reseal and epoxy fill gaps and stuff as needed? Or would the top surface be wrecked?
Oh my! It's the prettiest one I've seen you do! I can't imagine how disappointed you must have been.
Absolutely my favorite table I’ve seen him do
I hate when that happens.
So beautiful. Even if it didn’t turn out how you wanted, this is gorgeous, I am sorry it didn’t end up the way you imagined in your head though
Still looks super cool. Great job. Not the result you wanted but not everything is expectedly cool. Sometimes cool just happens
Damn that's the best-looking wall piece I've seen in awhile
Right?
Who needs table?
Aww
I feel blessed every time this shows up in my feed
What a beautiful wall piece!!!!!
Man, the slab just in its original form was gorgeous
@RodJeez counterpoint: opinions
@Turtlesrprettycool just because someone speaks confidently using technical terms does not mean they know beauty
@Daniel Flanard I hate how it's just the norm to fill any carpentry project with epoxy, especially turquoise blue, it's done to death and bad taste.
@J D exactly they can’t just like.. sell a table that’s dead wood so it’ll crumble apart, plus the moisture which is another component to make it worsen over time. I get it looks nice but it just doesn’t work
“The slab was completely unusable.”
Bruh…
Trees, man. Even their second life dies sometimes. That's a tough loss, though.
I love the fact you stood behind your work cause you could've sold it anyway. But realistically I think you liked so much that you had to keep it 😂 really a beautiful piece
I think this turned out AMAZING and would LOVE for this to my wall piece 😊
New subscriber here! I started a firewood hustle last year and it is going great. I get big wood from tree services. I have some black walnut and maple burls. I have no idea how much they are worth. However, I think someone could make something amazing with them. If I can not find someone interested in them I will make firewood out of them.
Man, I’d take my chances with the trapped moisture. That piece is freakin gorgeous.
How could you know there was dampness under the resin? Turn it over and allow it to dry off.
ya .. if its sealed who cares
Yea not for 5 grand lol
@Mr. Marquezlet it warp then plane it smooth job done ✅
I'm wondering if they can't add extra support at the bottom to reduce the warping. And maybe just use it for personal use.
OMG...that truly sucks! All that work! That would have been such a killer table. It was amazing and even if it's only for a little while it certainly is a magnificent art piece.
If this was my project I would drill the moisture out, replace the gap with a corresponding replacement and make it nicer. Good luck.
In my opinion one of the best looking tables you have done.
Facts. I'd buy it even with the trapped moisture. If only just for decor.
Stunning - the base is perfect
Omg thats a amazing wall hanger. Sick job bud ! Love it

I remember this. It was heartbreaking, and the base was so beautiful, too.
Gorgeous work regardless!
The base is beautiful. It will definitely be used in the future.
can somebody please explain what the trapped moisture means in terms of its usability as a table top? thanks :-)
Do you get reimbursed if the piece has trapped moisture or is it your fault?
Thank you for being such a good guy and not selling it when you found the moisture. That’s incredibly honorable and right 💯🙌🏼
What's wrong with moisture?
There has to be something you could do than just saying fuck it and hanging it on the wall.
What if you leave it hanging for a few months will it dry out and be useable for table ?
Are you going to make a new one for that beautiful base your friend made? It looked stunning 😍
make it into a clock, now its a badd ass wall clock
We all make mistakes. Handling that a hundred times without wondering why it was so heavy... well, that's a biggie.
The way my heart shattered when he cut off the gorgeous raw edge T-T
EXACTLY
I would have still used it. Does the moisture cause something down the road?
That thing is nice man 👍🏾
I’m sorry it didn’t work out. It is a beautiful piece of wood.
What’s wrong if moisture is trapped inside
If my walls all looked like that I wouldn't be complaining
Defo buying a piece of epoxy/wood furniture for my future home when I can afford it.
I think I need an hour vid going on about why it can't be a table.
@Shannon Rickard I understand that but how could he tell after he poured resin on it. How come he didn't leave it to dry for longer as it's so big. How come he did not check it before, it's sealed in the resin is it not ok? It can be used as something else but why not a table.
There is moisture in the wood, and since it's sealed with epoxy, it can't escape, so eventually it will warp and crack and look funky.
So, you've got talent, skills, a business, AND integrity?
Thanks for doing the right thing. You're a good man! I just wish there were a lot more people like you in the world. 👍 Beautiful work!
@Wolf Phoenix too soon, man 😭
Integrity haha 🤣 unlike the table
@Summoner's rift garbage Actually, he didn't say he was making it for himself, he just said he didn't already have a buyer. Putting that aside, I appreciated the fact that once he discovered there was trapped moisture in the table, he didn't use it as an opportunity to sell it to someone who wouldn't have known anything was wrong with it.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's a lot of people out there who would have made the same decision. He's not an "Anything for a buck" kind of business man, and that's nice to see. 👍
Integrity?? He made it for himself tho, so its not really about selling it to someone
Bro I’d buy it and still use it as a table for a discount lol but I’d still use it that is one gorgeous piece keep up the good work man
Will you be posting a video of the full build?
Absolutely gorgeous. I enjoyed the whole process of the build from start to finish.
Still beautiful, could definitely be considered a form of nature/wood art
If you waited out a little bit (6 months or so) to build the piece, would you prevent it from happening?
Absolutely stunning. Pity about the moisture. It's a definite statement piece for a wall. ❤️
I would still buy that and use it as a table it’s gorgeous
what instrument did you use to detect moisture?
I owned an art gallery for a lot of years and I would have shown it as a table or a wall piece. Really beautiful work
Wish I had access to equipment like that. I can do some cool stuff w just chisels and hammer. But w that stuff, omg that would be great. Even w the moisture that is amazing.
are you able to check for trapped moisture even before doing all those steps you did? or unable to until it is complete..
There isn't enough wood wall art in the world, it's beautiful!
Curious, if something like this happens, can you get your money back for it, since it was supposed to be dry when you bought it? Or is it sold as-is basically? Could you strip the epoxy and allow it to dry out? It is beautiful as an art piece, but it's such a shame it couldn't be used as you intended
That's still beautiful even if it isn't a table.
That’s gorgeous as an art piece. The custom base was on point. Can you get another one to complete the table?
The top would look totally different but yes the base can find a new top
How cheap are you able to source a gallon of epoxy for on average? Say your deep pour epoxy for example? Thanks for sharing your content btw!
i think it's even better as a wall piece. it's gorgeous and will make someone happy
But you cant put cups on it
So . . . was the trapped moisture from the wood? (It's very beautiful. ♥️🌻♥️)
