$15,000 Kitchen Island

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Blacktail epoxy table workshop: www.blacktailstudio.com/the-e...
This wood slab kitchen island was one of my biggest woodworking projects to date. It was also my first kitchen island/woo countertop project! Made from a single piece of locally salvaged Black Walnut and the voids filled with jet black epoxy resin. This slab started out at nine feet long and over five feet wide. Rough cut by me and the final shape was precision cut by a CNC. I even decided to deliver this one personally and help with the installation. Let me know if you have any questions about the build!

I drool over some of the Blacktail machinery and workshop and it must have cost a fortune but it is worth it in the end eh to know that you did this by yourself? Plus the fact that you know that the things you have made are perfect and not just thrown together like some factory made furniture.

    @@sofreshsogreen If its thick enough, you can usually fix any wood furniture by just "Sanding it and Re-Coating it with Wax/Varnish", the problem is that the wax/varnish probably wont be the same (so there will be a color difference), and once you sand the top layer you might find more imperfections than when you started that you need to refill or fix. Obviously its not just this simple 2 step process, but the theory works on almost any wood that was accidentaly messed up... its just too much work and sometimes not worth the risk. :D

    I grew up in a house built in 1820, all out countertop surfaces were hard wood, mostly walnut, the wood was stained from daily use, was gouged, burned and in some areas worn, but it was so beautiful.

    Beautiful work! To answer the question "Would or wouldn't wood?" - I would go with "Wouldn't" for a kitchen island. What you did in this video is a masterpiece but even if it was a regular piece it would really need to be pampered if it was to be preserved. Table, bar top or pretty much anything except for a cooking surface, especially warm kitchen - this is the way to go for style points.

    I have the liquid glass as a finish and you don't really need to pamper it. It is so tough. You can always sand it and refinish it. If you have a granite top and place something hot or oily on it, it could be ruined for life. I've seen a $20,000 granite top and it had a large circle permanently etched into it.
