You asked about old growth and grain. Old growth forest were very mature stands of trees. Here in WI the old growth pines were so large and so dense that it was said that the forest floor was covered in needles. No under growth. Because of this the trees grew very slowly, bense the close grain.

Those top boards are massive, it would be a big job to mill those without that new jointer.

Great build, Andy. I like that you not only tell us what you're doing and how you're doing it, but also why you are doing it that way (e.g. sliding dovetails on the drawer dividers). Thanks. Stay safe. Bill

The growth rings on old growth are tighter because that tree got a chance in life when one fell in the forest allowing sun light to reach the forest floor. So now that tree grows in shade which slows down the rate of growth. Modern pine in grown in full sunlight therefore grows much much faster.

Not completely true. Yes, denser trees grow slower while the cheap stuff grows faster. Though the standard cheap pine is planted in neat rows tight together. This will cause them to try and grow as tall as possible as fast as possible to not end up in the shade of all the pines around them. SSo they grows straight and tall. They will get all cut down at the same time after 20-30 years. The denser pine, however, grows more randomly and will not have to compete in hight with the other pines close to them. They will naturaly get more sunlight that does not get blocked by other pine trees as much. This will result in them having no need to grow tall and fast. So they use most of the energy they collect to grow thick and dense instead. These trees will in time grow large as well though it might take 50-100 years before they are cut down usually when a new unexploited forest is cut down. This way is not very profitable in the short term since it takes much longer to get less volume of wood in the same area.

​@@DragonitedVery interesting, I have never heard the theory of trees choosing their own growth rate, but they are living things.

@@rrmerlin3402 It's not a matter of choice though almost all plants have a genetic predisposition to reach for sunlight. That's why plants that are covered grow fast and long to reach the sun. Though they do that by reducing the energy needed to produce clorophyll since it needs sunlight to make enough of it. That's why they become more yellow or even white untill they either reach sunlight or die trying. This is also why you can reduce weeds by covering them with enough material so that they will die before they have a chance to reach the sun. Plants with bigger seads can survive longer and go up though the material that is blocking the sunlight. Weeds that spreads with rhibosomees will however get around this since other connected parts of the plant will supply these with the necessary energy to reach the surface. Anyway theses long shoots are usually too weak to stand up straight in the beginning since the stem is less dense than normal. If you remove the material that keept it from reaching sunlight they tend to fall over and will only get stronger after they have started to get sunlight. It's basically the same principle in forest plantation but not as severe. Since there are many trees tight together and they grow they will block out sunlight from trees in their shade which will trigger the shaded trees to grow faster to reach enough sunlight. They will in turn shade other trees which will also start to grow faster and so on. This is why lower branches have usually died of at the lower parts of the tree and don't have any large branches. If you go to a tree plantation like this and walk on the south facing side if this is not blocked by another line of trees you will notice the trees that get more direct sunlight will be shorter and have more branches then the trees behind them. This is most noticeble at south facing beaches. This happens even in normal forest as well but not as noticeble. Pine trees closest to the beach are usually shorter but they have massive branches that spread out while the denser the forest is the straighter and taller the trees get.

This is probably my favourite project of yours. I really like the combination of old timber with beautiful dovetail joints, natural timber, and paint.

Looks amazing, the locks are a neat added touch. You just don't see that anymore.

Love it. Love it. Love it. It is soooo beautiful. The dimensions, the colour and the grain on the top, outstanding. Exactly what I would want in my forever home. And you made it in two weeks 😲 you are amazing Andy. And then, just when I thought I couldn't have been more happy, you close out with an RV update 🤗🤗🤗🤗 💙

Old growth lumber has tight grain because the trees that produced it grew slowly in the shade of larger trees- the trees got less sun exposure. Rapid growth of trees results in wider grain because of faster growth during spring and summer. Ron

What a beautiful piece, built with such care and pride. The finish is perfect and the contrast of the draw sides when opened is very classy.

My house is about 65 years old. I installed some pockets closet doors and removed some of the original pine studs. I counter 37 growth rings per inch in the original studs and five growth rings per inch in new Home Depot pine studs. That's the difference in old free-range lumber cutting and today's managed plantings. It 'wood' be interesting to see the strength difference in the two lumbers.

Beautiful design!

Enjoyed following along with this on the Instagram stories and finally seeing it all come together here! I actually like the painted base, really nice color choice as well

Totally love the construction. Painting the base but leaving the top natural is awesome. And the oak sides with the dovetails, what a beautiful touch. As always great piece of work, very inspirational.

Great job, Andy - love the painted contrast in the end. Thanks for posting.

I only subscribed to your channel in the past couple of months, and one of the main reasons why is very simply because when you make something you alway's seem to have the camera at the best possible angles and you explain what you're doing and why. This alway's gives me the best way of following how you are doing the job inhand!. I've been interested in woodworking for the past couple of years but done nothing about it until now, I'm in the process of building a workshop just so I can watch and learn how to do asmuch as possible. That said it's why I found this a nobrainer when it came to subbing to your channel!!!. Keep up the good work Andy as you're helping me learn alot 👍. 💯% 👍🇬🇧. P.s I think it turned out great 👍.

Andy, beautiful piece! I finished a dining room table with long leaf pine from This Old Wood in Austin, i love the look of the wood on a painted base. Great work as usual.

Beautiful!! love how you explain everything and not make it boring.

Absolutely beautiful table and I love the way you made all the joinery DoveTails and all. Sure to last ages to come

Congrats on that build, true craftsmanship that piece look from a high end store , great contend all the joints perfect, when I grown up I wanna be like you.... keep bring them videos up, thanks

Absolutely beautiful piece! Love the finish 👏 My wife said, "He makes that look really easy...Is it that easy?" To which I just laughed haha This is what I strive for.

Very nice. I think there are big rings on the new pine because newer trees are pushed to grow quicker these days with fertilizers and such.

fantastic build! @ 12:15 - I always have figured that the loss of tight rings in todays pine is due to the trees now being grown to a very large size extremely quickly, giving it the wide growth rings and softer density

Love the look of the painted legs.

Absolutely fantastic workmanship and a gorgeous piece !

Such a cool project, the painted base annoyed me at first but seeing the final things it definitely was needed! Nice touch with the drawers, leaving the dovetails unpainted was an awesome idea. I'm definitely going to consider painted bases more often.

Man you're really an insperation! I watch a lot of youtubers to learn most I can and you're now in the top 3! Keep up the good work! Cheers from Portugal!

This is my first time seeing one of your videos. I really enjoyed seeing how you created that in such a classic way. Looks great too.

Had to re-watch this. Incredible stuff!

Well done, man! Love the look, and brilliantly executed.

The tighter rings in old growth come about because it grew slower. Makes the wood harder and stronger. The same reason the late rings are darker and harder than the early rings.

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing and explaining. Well done!

The piece itself is beautiful and so well made, the top is BEYOND gorgeous!!!

Beautiful piece. I don’t always love that country look but it’s so nice and clean I really like this.

This is awesome. Thanks again for sharing Andy. Some of my favorite content on YT.

Excellent craftsmanship. Enjoy your videos.

Beautiful table Andy. In case you haven't already been informed, the reason Long Leaf Pine growth rings are so close together is because it grew so slowly much like the ancient Redwoods or if you look at a nice piece of Mesquite out here where we live in the Hill Country you will see the same thing. Foresters later bred the Slash Pine which grew much faster but had strength issues and then they started pushing the Loblolly Pine which still grows strong in East Texas to this day. There are patches of Long Leaf Pine still standing in East Texas but not many. Several different varieties were tried, I even heard at one point they tried to make the Pine grow with a split trunk to double production but that didn't pan out well either. Anyway that is the story behind it from all I have ever been told. I grew up in the Pine belt of East Texas and worked in the forest industry until 2004.

That is a really beutiful piece of carpentry!! I know it's a shame to paint over the wood, but, as you said, some of the grain will show through the paint. I love how the dovetails are still visible on the sides of the draws. Definitely a piece of furniture that will be handed down the generations of thw family 👍

Really nice build. I get the whole opening and closing of the drawers thing. Do that all the time.

Andy, I love using shellac instead of polyurethane in some instances. On the few pieces of furniture I've built and on a few old dressers that I stripped the paint and in one instance I found beautiful red maple under the paint. I usually use clear shellac on dressers and such, but on shelves I've built I like to use the amber shellac. Beautiful table Andy and your craftsmanship is on full display. I look forward to your next episode and thoroughly enjoyed this one. You and yours stay healthy and safe and cheers from this old retired coot living in Tennessee.💖 👍 😷 🍻 👀 ✌

Andy, you are a master! Thanks for sharing!

great work man. I really appreciate your thoroughness and passion. Thanks for sharing.

That jointer makes me cry with envy

That is a beautiful piece. Very enjoyable to watch

Awesome job. Really beautiful piece !!!!

The kitchen island looks fantastic, wow. You have the skills. I take my hat off for you

This is the type of island I am thinking of making for my kitchen. I am hopping to put a Belfast sink in the center oh the island. Looks great keep up the great work

I really appreciate these narrated videos, I learn just as much by your direction as I do watching.

Absolutely beautiful material. That pine really popped. Cabinetmaking techniques were really interesting👴🏻🇦🇺

Love to watch the work you do. Thanks for sharing.

I love this build, thanks for sharing

Fantastic work, Andy! It really looks amazing! 😃 I totally agree about painting pine. And there are some great inks for that! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Awesome piece! You are a true craftsman.

What a beautiful piece of furniture ❣️ You do such awesome skilled work ❣️ God Bless❣️🙏❣️

Enjoying your content and commentary. Keep building Andy. 👍

Such a beautiful piece

Great looking piece Andy!

Awesome table and awesome video! Subscribed! Botanist here: The old growth trees have thinner growth rings because they are growing in a dense forest with competition for light, so they grow slowly. Second growth is essentially growing in a field, with optimal light and is often thinned to reduce competition; hence really fast growth and wide growth rings. Good for producing wood fibre quickly, but as you say, the quality is lower.

What a beautiful build, excellent

Beautiful piece, great job!

Great video. Thank you, Andy.

Beautiful piece! Love the dovetails

Great job and thanks for sharing.

Obviously, you're skill level along with the equipment being used speaks volumes as to how busy your furniture business is, but if you could somehow find time for teaching woodshop, I'd enroll yesterday! Attention to detail is some of the best I've seen on KZread...thanks for sharing!

That old pine is royal. This is the kind of table that both my parents and my generation can truly appreciate.

I’ve always liked your videos. But since you’ve done your videos this way you’ve shot the top of my list of favorite makers. I’m not someone who truly matters but I truly appreciate your work.

Nice build. These are the videos that I really enjoy nice work.

Perfect. You are an animal Andy. It's funny I was making an island for our house this week with 180 year old oak I pulled out of the rafters of a smoke house I tore down for my neighbors. I did an airstream two years ago for a client too... I feel like we would be buddies if we were neighbors. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

love it great piece... can't wait to see your next build.

Just beautiful!!

Awesome build. I personally like the paint. Can’t wait to see more.

Awesome! Great build.

Stunning build

Great piece, Andy. One for generations to love for sure.

Beautiful Piece! Great attention to detail. This was the first video I have seen from you. Subscribed now. Looks like I have a lot of content to catch up on.

Really great build Andy. I actually like the painted base. Sure they were happy to get it

the quality of your videoing and presentation of yourself and your work has skyrocketed since your early work. Great to see Andy! Great job on the piece too :)

The new Oliver stuff looks pretty sweet.

Nice, wow. Thanks for sharing.

Smarter everyday has a cool video about long leaf pine trees. I didn't realize they had to have certain situations in order to grow.

The top that is absolutely beautiful wow

The table is beautiful, a treasure to pass on to the family.

Cool!

Awesome work!live your dovetails

Really really nice Andy, as usual, thank you and congratz ! :)

An absolutely a masters wood working project. That's a table to be proud of.

Very enjoyable video of a super piece of furniture, love the way you work.

Super job Andy!

This is a really well done video, probably my favorite of yours so far

Excellent build and video.

Beautiful piece Andy!!!

Another great job but I wouldn’t expect anything other than a good job from you thank you

This is a stunning piece that will be a treasure for years!

Nice build. Top notch.

Looks amazing!! Shame it was painted, but the end results are worth it.
