Make Scrap Wood Look Like This
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is a surprisingly easy DIY project, that you might be able to make for free if you have some epoxy left over from an old project. I took some old cedar fence panels, burned them with propane torch, then covered with epoxy. What I got was a pretty cool 3D wood and epoxy coaster unlike any I had seen before. Hope you like it, let me know if you have any questions!

DUDE! Those would make fantastic wall tiles! Maybe not for a shower but for smaller areas like back splashes or other decorative applications in a black color scheme. That depth of finish is awesome!

I was thinking these would be nice for a camper conversion I'm working on but might take too much time.
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzread.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
1:44 you left a control subject and proved the need for bubble popping. Very scientific. 4:20 We watch these because you talk fast. So many crafters make us watch extended/repetitive actions while droning on. This was a perfect execution and I want these coasters!

😂😂 so true. Nailed it!
I love that burnt wood effect, the table is stunning too. An accent wall tiled in that would be cool!
One thing that might be neat is after you do the first epoxy pour... Going back with a cnc router and v bit and engraving some design and doing a different colored epoxy inlay and then sanding smooth and sealing with the epoxy top coat

Very nice! Finally a smaller project I can dip my hands into. I've been wanting to make an epoxy table but seems like such an undertaking. This I could at least get the feel for working with epoxy without spending a lot.

A next step might be to make small shelf using a knotty/cracked/knackered piece of hard wood (I used left over/rotting oak planks) - you can practice sealing the knots/cracks, then filling with small amounts of epoxy (coloured if you want), then flattening/sanding/finishing. If you have some big cracks you can double up and practice a few bowties as well :) - kzread.info/dash/bejne/nIyNz9qwlK6fj5c.html
Honestly the one with the smudge has the best burn lines, this will be my first epoxy project start with coasters and move up. Thanks for all your videos
Natural light on that finish looks great.
Ficou perfeito muito lindo parabéns
Have you ever thought of painting reds and oranges in some of the charred recesses to make the appearance of burning embers? It is something I would like to try eventually.

I found your video interesting and rather complete in the amount of information given on how to do the hentire job. Thank you and don't stop the videos, can't wait for the table you mentioned. Cheers
Monster (energy) I love the charred wood look. I do a bunch of lichtenberg figures in wood. Custom frames, walking sticks, basically anything wood that I work with that doesn't have to be immaculate.

I’m surprised you didn’t add felt or cork to the bottom! I might like to see them partially sanded too, for another look of the wood charring. Another thought would be to add some mica to that sealing coat!
ginger ale - Great idea. I don't need coasters, but I'm definitely going to use it for something. 👍
Whiskey, looks like a fun project, being a firefighter you just gave me a great idea for a homemade gift for fellow firefighters.
Man these would look great as backsplash for a sink area on a bar in your house. Or even in the kitchen it would look so cool as a backsplash.

This is my first exposure to your channel and I gotta say, I love the fact that you talk fast! You’re the channel I’ve been looking for! I usually need just a quick refresher on a technique, or want to know how other people tackle the problem of X when Y comes up, etc, but MOST craft/woodworking videos are made like they’re presenting for television. They breakdown what’s going to happen (instead of, idk, just *starting* ), repeat themselves and the steps they did, take tons of breaks away from the action just to give themselves screen time and act as a “host,” or generally take way too long to just get to the point. I love the fact that you show one thing while talking about another thing and trust your audience to follow along. At the very least you seem to be aware that we all use the “rewind 10 sec” button a lot, which means there’s no need to dwell on anything for a long time. Just leave it on screen long enough for us to catch it and move on. We can (and DO) rewatch the parts we need to see, so why waste time with anything else? I subscribed instantly. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your approach to making videos (I hope this one wasn’t a one-off, lol). Thanks for a great video, and I’ll be checking out your other videos soon!
I have many woodworking tools- but in a small shed that doesn’t give very much room to move around- but I am about to figure it out- these videos are very inspiring and you make beautiful pieces!
You made that look so easy, they turned out great! Didn't see a smudge.

Coffee/Tea. I think Cabinets would look really nice. Oh! A topper for a Red Stained Dresser would be nice as well.
Lemonade (made with ACV instead of lemons): Why didn't you sand the sides for a nice smooth all around finish? And some gold flecks would be nice with this

The tears of my childhood bully. How about charring the wood of a river table? Char wood Seal charred wood Pour river Pour an additional 1/2 inch over everything I think the shou sugi ban would look great with a grey-pearlescent river. 😯

Around a wood stove, you could selectively use orange, yellow, and maybe white metallic paint over the char...then clear coat. For a 3d sort of burning embers effect. It would look like the stove had, and was in process of...burning a hole in the wall behind it lol. I know they have high heat resins...but I don't know how clear they pour.
The charred look is SO sick
5 minutes wasn't that hard even for someone with ADD 😂 great project! It looks great
I did it with the Woodglut plans.

Making a guitar with this as a body cap would be stunning

Strongbow cider ,, I used 2 part epoxy at work we used to degass it with a powerful vacuum pump and chamber.. then pour and we had very few bubbles. I like your work, I am recently retired and have taken up wood turning as a hobby, I use a vacuum chamber to help quick dry out the wood prior to turning. I am going to try a flame finish on a bowl next time. Cheers and keep up the good work stay safe.
Topo Chico! And with that charred wood, a Lava Table would be so freaking awesome! Like, a river of Lava instead of water. I think it would be beautiful.
