That's great, Matt. It's always nice to be able to do something for family. I'm sure she liked it, too.

Small projects like that are great. Fairly straightforward and satisfying to do with out a long commitment to the project.

I love that you take a piece of wood that most people would pass over and make something beautiful! Good to see you in Fine Woodworking!

Matt, I really enjoy your videos! i started building furniture as a hobby in 1983. I make a lot of stuff over the years. My pride and Joy are two things, a cherry roll top secretary desk for my wife, and three quartersawn white oak tool chests. Also I no longer have a shop any longer, I can relate to what you are doing.

Tell your sister it's not the size of the Serving board, it's what she puts on it that makes the difference.

If she is Italian she will,know what to serve and how

That's spectacular. Keep coming with the variety ( sawmill, trailer shop projects).

It would be great to see her reaction to the tray. It is always nice when you have a brother that takes care of you... Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings. Thanks for sharing!

What a great way to preserve and utilize smaller pieces with really special grain patterns. I can imagine the number of such scraps and cutoffs that would otherwise get tossed out.

Nice project, like the live edge. Made with love by your brother Matt. Enjoy your time together. Reminds me I need call my sister. Thanks for sharing.

One thing I want to comment on, it is so good to see a woodworker like yourself that keeps his hand tools sharp, like the draw knife used to remove the bark. I've watched other woodworkers and it's painful to watch them struggle with a dull cutting tool. I enjoy your videos very much. Keep up the good work.

I don't see much logic in trying to use a tool that's not sharp. Wouldn't be as pleasant to use. Thanks!

It is always a pleasure to watch you make great items from wood others may not use. It has been great watching your channel this year. I am looking forward to 2020 and seeing your projects and adventures. All the best to you and your family this Christmas season!.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your story

Great piece of work, Matt. Can see why you enjoyed it. All best wishes for the season and 2020!!

That is a diverse piece of wood, pretty sweet. Always enjoy your positivity.

Very nice and will make a great gift. I'm sure your sister will cherish this for many years to come.

Oh to have a giant jointer and giant planer. And I was pretty impressed at your bench vise.

It looks great, Matt! Your expression as you brought the board out with a variety of fine tools and finishes @18:08 is priceless! 😂

Got to remember to have fun once in a while. Nice build

Gorgeous board man. I appreciate the explanation of your resin clarity choice

nice! i like your commentary because its more like a conversation instead of step by step instructional. keep up the fine work...Happy Holidays!

I came to this from your huge silver maple log cutting. I really enjoyed this a lot more than the sawmill cutting though. Great job!

Who wouldn't like ? It turned out beautiful.

Nice gift, beautiful board. I agree with some others. That draw knife was Cremona sharp.

Gorgeous wood + epoxy = stunning results 😲 Congrats on a beautiful project, Matt.

I don't know if envy is the right word but I envy you being able to work wood as you do, I so wish I was able to have or use a shop similar to yours, I like to create things out of wood, I always have liked woodworking. Great work by the way, I love the shows you make it brings me that much closer to what I would love to do.

Always enjoy your projects, nice work.

You'll get the feel for it after a while. Just keep the mix ratios right which is easy if you have the pumps. I've been through many gallons of West System through the years from boat building to resin augmented turnings - just don't let any thicker pours get hot while they cure. I wish you well.

Lol, your sister sounds like a kindred spirit! She thinks like me. Bigger is almost always better….. until it’s not. My friends have learned to expect to take home leftovers after a dinner or party because I seem to lack the the ability to judge the amounts of food etc I need to feed a given party of people. No one ever left my table hungry.

Awesome! I’ve made a few of these now with info from your videos along with river table with a waterfall edge. I seem to get tiny bubbles from air trapped in the edges in the wood pores I guess. I’ve started sealing the edges first but a few still sneak through. I haven’t tried the vacuum pot yet. Do you think that could be the difference? I do use slow set epoxy.

Nice job Matt, sure they will like it !!!.

I learned cabinet making using clear wood and can't love epoxy. If people like this look it might be something to explore.

I'm watching videos like this before attempting my first epoxy pour, and I enjoy, with envy, your log milling videos because I, too, love the beauty of wood with all the different figures which add character to otherwise straight grained wood. I do have a question about this video. After your initial pour, you went back with some fast setting epoxy to do those small cracks and holes. Can you tell me what epoxy you used? Did you just mix Ecopoxy with more than normal hardener or a different epoxy all together?

it turned out pretty great

Very nice! Go on amazon and you can buy a dozen or so “condiment squeeze bottles” for about a dollar each. Not only does the bottle serve as the final pour container, but it is so much easier to pour with than using those mixing containers. Bonus, let the extra cure in the squeeze bottle and you have turning blanks later...

Merry Christmas, Peace on Earth and Good will to All
