- This shou sugi ban inspired table was created from a piece of Ponderosa Pine firewood I got for free. The charred wood effect was highlighted by adding a deeply carved texture with Kutzall carving tools. Additional features are solid brass legs and even a couple more surprises. Let me know what you think!

Loved this one! Re: the puck light...it looks like you got a kit with an IR remote, which requires line of sight. I always look for kits with RF remotes instead - easy fix. :)
Even with an RF kit, he put it in a giant piece of wood and then put a metal bar on the bottom. The wood will scatter RF and the metal will eat it. You'd need an antenna that came out and was exposed on the side to make this work.
Now you tell me mike!
@@BlacktailStudio i wonder how a ring of the fairy lights would look embedded in the epoxy, might light up the chared wood 🤔
@@soundtw77 that would look quite different, it would give an almost infinity log look
@@prahielbhoodram3261 Probably so
This is such a cool idea. If I may add my 2 cents in terms of design:
1. I like the contrast on the outside but I thought you were going to leave black streaks in a pattern to make it look like stuff boiled and spilled over on all the sides. I think that would have looked better than a random contrast
2. The inside could be made to look like a geode by using 2 different color epoxy. The first coat on the inside (or part of it) could be a bright sparkly color like blue or red and then fill it up with clear epoxy. So when you light it up it will look like there are crystals inside.
Yeah ok, interesting. I like this hey 👍🏽
Cool idea, the geode concept! The right position of the lighting would be totally key. Very cool color temp LED (5000k) and using reflective paint only. Perhaps powdered Interference Pigments mixed with bright, powdered metallics. Red to Green. Purple to Orange. The Geode idea using the textured, burned wood could be a whole offshoot concept. Lots of experimentation needed for sure, but very visually exciting.
EvanandKaitlyn made a really similar geode table to what you're describing!
Or carv out the inside a bit more, then burn. Mound hidden LED's around the inside rim facing down at a 45°angle. Put a mirror at the bottom. And when you look down into it, it will look like the hole goes on & on & on.
MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. czcams.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
I think keeping the indents around the outside black, but sanding the surface so that only the lowest points stayed dark, may have looked a little nicer, but still retained that 2-tone style.
Here’s some advice:
Instead of using a colored light, use colored epoxy and a strong white light, that way you can make cool layered patterns as the light shines through, kinda like stained glass!

See if it applies in a couple years
@@BlacktailStudio Just to be aware. If you lose a finger, unless it is your thumb, you'll pretty much get used to it. If you lose a toe, especially the big toe, you basically can't run anymore.
I think it's best to keep all fingers and toes.
@@orlanino he’s 40 or nearing it he’s not going to do a lot of running like a kid so he might still live a happy life
@@jackmiller690 true that.
I got my mom into your channel. Her poppy was a phenomenal craftsman, so seeing this sort of thing is fun and familiar for her. For me, I find your videos strangely comforting, though I'm not a woodworker, more of a jewelry maker. However, there's a lot of similarity, especially pertaining to polishing and finishing or when processing for flat surfacing. I don't zone out, and I don't fall asleep, but I do find my breathing levels out and so does any anxiety, too. There's just something soothing in your work and dry, sardonic humour. Thank you for sharing your work
The maker spotlight is so sweet and generous. It really shows how much of a class act you are. Lots of appreciation for you helping out other creators and sharing the wealth. ❤
have to admit both styles are cool--i was really looking forward to the all-black and i think the brass would have set that off stunningly, so i'd probably choose the all-black. also your written comments while fighting with the puck light were hilarious. that shine is awesome and definitely is better than many i've seen
All-black with brass, and a nice glowy interior light, would have been awesome.
But this result is surprisingly appealing too, it helps a lot that the eventual color of the clean wood turned out a mellow amber, not the stark white it first seemed.
Thank you Cam! Very much appreciated my man! Love the stump!
Thanks Matt!
Your wife was right the resin projects are my favorite
I’m a dog person. I just found your channel, and I’ve really enjoyed the few videos I’ve watched so far. Thanks for sharing your process.
This gives me an idea: On the inside of the log, near the base more but I'd say going most of the way up, perhaps adding a fine metallic dust that would help reflect the light and give that "deep space" feel into the first couple basting layers. I think that may aid any underlighting, and help bring more life to the burn pattern in the wood. I'm not sure what metal dust would have the best reflective properties for this kind of application, but I'd imagine silver, aluminium, or nickel would work well.
Mica powder would do this.
That sounds pretty awesome, make it look like a wormhole
Would cheap glitter still reflect in epoxy? Or is there something that would be luminous or flourese?
Just fill the epoxy with glitter from Michael's and call it a day.
Cool project. Thanks for making this. My two cents on the aesthetics: The abruptness and pseudo-randomness of the natural wood areas detracted from the cleanliness of the epoxy, and didn't necessarily create a harmonious contrast. I think the exposed natural wood portions of the exterior could be more successful if they were gradated. You could achieve smooth transitions by grinding initially 1 out 10 in an area, and gradually progressing to 10/10 in an area. Alternatively, you could try burring varying sizes of divots in a gradual manner. Look at the printing technique of half tones as an example.
I love kutzall bits. Absolute game changer when I got their rotary tool bits for my wood carving projects. Congrats on landing them as a sponser 🔥🤘
😍 I found your videos randomly - I like watching resin designs - and with my mental health being meh, I've been binging. And I realized I haven't liked all the ones I've watched. I need to go back and do that!!! This is so cool looking, and I love how unique it is.
I would give the exposed wood a mahogany/red dye, I think a reddish brown would look good with black. Cool project! Your charred table is one of my favorites of yours :)
Right?? I thought the exact same thing while I was watching this video.
Thought about the same!
Turned out pretty cool man! I’d be tempted to try carving out a few of those thin cracks that run down the sides of the stump, carve them out all the way down to the epoxy center... this way when you light it up, the colored light effect would glow through the cracks around around the sides as well as the top surface.
Wow, cool 😎 idea!
You could drill a hole down to the epoxy core and then back fill it with more epoxy. You could do lot of "shafts" at different angles, and/or colors. Same idea but they would be filled. (not sure if that's what you were thinking) and if you had a strong enough light they would throw little circles of light on the ceiling or floor. Might be cool.
Matt's Woodworks! Thank you. Going there now!
I appreciate the motivation you've given me. As a woodworker shop owner from Quebec, Canada, I've been honing my skills on CZcams for the past couple of years, aspiring to make a significant impact in the upcoming years. It might be more challenging to establish a successful French Canadian woodworking channel, but I'm determined to persevere. Your content is valuable, and I'll continue to listen to it for inspiration.
😍 I love the project and absolutely love the Maker Spotlight. I haven't got my channel going yet, but will let you know when there is something worth watching. Your work is so inspiring AND you are willing to share mistakes and fixes so we can all learn! Thank you Cam!
Love love this!

People with Trypophobia: 👁👄👁
For sure
@@BlacktailStudio My Trypophobia was triggered when you started making the indentations, but then when everything was torched black it went away. But then you made the light coloured holes again! What a rollercoaster :)
Yeah, instant dislike from me.. it's so thoughtless. "Oh, here's a visual phobia, let me show that to you in case you have it"
I love your table and recording setup. Keep up the good work!
Love this side table! Love that you used several techniques into one table. I think more of a pattern on the sides would look really cool as well.
I really enjoyed this build, love your creativity. My favourite look was when the inside of the stump was still glowing with heat. I would have used flame coloured mica powders in the basting, to make the inside glow like that when it was finished.
🎱 love how it came out. as a pyro, the burning was my favorite part
Oh for sure
🔥 love the table. The light is freaking awesome. Enjoy watching all your videos and the process of it all. Thanks Brandon
Oh, I would totally put that in my house!!
no phobias here!
I'm loving how informative your channel is.
Thank You!
If you do another project like this with the light, try adding a mirror prism above the light fixture so the light is more dispersed on the burnt surfaces. Also consider leaving bubbles in to catch the light.
This is such a cool idea and worked out well , i got a spalted walbut stump with a natural hollowed spot from the animaals and been looking for an idea of what to do with it and i think this is super cool
I loved how you showed us you could get out of your comfort zone and create a different piece of art than you usually do. As a visual learner your videos are salve for my soul. 🙏
I'm a paper crafter. From my genre of art I would love to have seen gold gilding wax use to highlight the edges of the diverts. It was crying out to me. "burnish me, burnish me. 😢".
🔥as always. Thank you for the time making these beautiful pieces.
Wow, this project is pretty awesome! I love the random light spots, it looks like stuff we come across in firefighting. I am not an expert, but think it would have been cool if you continued the dented pattern into the feet with them being hammered half blackened brass. Just my two cents. Thanks for posting this built it us amazing!
This is probably one of my favourite projects you’ve done so far, please do more experimental pieces like this in the future
Love this adventurous/experimental content… it’s invaluable and hope to use all the creative elements, likely in different projects as the final result of this piece was just OK - especially by his standard of excellence.
Idk why but this woodworking or machining/engineering type of video is my favorite kind of content on youtube its so entertaining
👏Been busy last year so I missed a lot of your videos. That's a pretty interesting build. Keep up the good work. I think you are your harshest critic man. I've watched your videos since you first started.
I think you may like this pattern - blackened and natural wood - as it resembles Wisteria which is a popular motif in Japan. Looks great!
I too like the deep pours, but really cool wood stains with different colors and different wood types would be really interesting to see.
i feel like he avoids doing this because you cant control how it'll look once stained, and if you dont like it there's no going back
🔥 Looking forward to your next video!
Great video! Multiple useful techniques.
🪵 as much as I enjoy watching these experimental videos, I can‘t wait until your next epoxy table built - although it‘s kinda the same for every table I still think it‘s entertaining and fun to watch 🙂
That’s great to hear. I always think people get tired of them
I love this look! Definitely something I would have as a side table in my house. I wonder if the light might look better if you didn't fill the void with epoxy and just capped the top off with an epoxy disk after sealing the inside. That way more light gets through!
ooooh, that sounds like a great idea actually
❤ This was quite the effort, I love it and kudos to you for tackling something completely different. Thanks
🔥🔥I love the contrasting design! I absolutely love your work and channel, I can't believe I just discovered it today. Time to go on a watching marathon!
I liked the outside fully charred really like the light idea too. I wonder if the light was brighter if that would brighten it up more
🔥Question / idea: You said it was hard to look into the charcoaled pit, due to it entirely being filled up with resin. Wouldn't it be possible to leave it empty without filling it up? You could place a glass plate surface on it. Or, if you want it with resin, perhaps flip your project upside down and place the tree stump in a small resin bath to make like a resin surface? Than I think you would create a cavity which would increase the visibility, ánd have it surfaced of with resin so you can use it as a table. Just an idea. Would such an approach be feasible? Cool project.
I love it
I prefer the irregular refurnished spots, almost looks like water falling from top surface.
This a project inspired me to first try working with clear epoxies and I thank you
This is my first time seeing one of your videos! Love this, liked and subscribed!
🔥. Your original fire table had me thinking it would be cool to put some orange or red colored epoxy down in a few of the char cracks and when doing the the clear pour add some white pearl to some epoxy and make it look like it’s still smoldering with some wisps of smoke. Me being a firefighter I thought the fire table was badass, has me wanting to try it 👍🇺🇸
🔥 I went from loving it to hating it when you used the fine bit, then loved it again with the tint from the Rubio. Taste is a funny thing!
Ha! That’s what I expected
I agree with the Rubio sealant, it changed the tone of the exposed wood enough to make it looked finished to me. Before the Rubio I really didn't care for that raw wood color
Sorry to say this but I think your wife was correct. I loved the all black finish. For the light you could have attached "CANDEL LIGHT" It would look like there is still fire inside. For the legs that I hate on this project I would use cast iron, something that would look more cabin or castle.
Your work is amazing and I cannot stop watching. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
LOVE THAT LOOK CAM!
Version 2.0: Dry brush white and glow in the dark highlights on the inside before filling.
Here is the artsy touch that would have made it even more beautiful
Or leave black, but coat the charred black inner sides with epoxy mixed with that shimmering mica powder/ glitter, let that dry and then fill up it with the clear epoxy.
It’s actually cool that I’ve learned something from this video that’s related and unrelated to the content. I had no idea Trypophobia was actually real and now I know. Unrelated: years ago I watched a documentary that had a frog with holes on its back and ever since then I’ve hated that site. Related: your chosen carving pattern is similar to other patterns that people don’t like.
However, the pattern on the carving doesn’t bother. Probably a dumb comment altogether, but I did learn about something that’s just outside of the scope of the video in addition to the information I learn from each video I do watch!
Thank you! Great work collectively!
😲Amazing. Any words I choose won't do that table justice.
I LOVE this! This is amazing! Great job!
I really love the texture and the Shou Sugi effect of the burned log right up to when you sanded it to reveal the lighter wood. I was seeing it as a beautiful reflection pool with a golden leaf floating in the epoxy inside the log with a back light to high light the depth drawing you into the piece and a golden Maple leaf or Tallow leaf with a bit of curl to center your attention and focus floating deep in the pool while you were pondering your next project. A very cool organic flowing idea but it got a bit lost for me when you took away the char and made the polka dots. Not sure what an Emojee is but, yes I watched to the end.
Google emoji!
I think the puck light you used was IR rather than RF so they need to be line-of-sight with the remote. Cool table and i think the legs were a good choice.
🤯🤯🤘🏽very inspiring work. I’ve always wanted to try burning my wood and working with it. Hearing that you’re honest with your process helps me build the courage to move forward with some projects I wanted to do. Thank you!
You crack me up with your commentary during your videos! I watch during my lunch.
I have tripophobia but this puttern doesnt trigger it for me personaly. Tripophobia is more about actual holes in material rather than pits
🔥 Not so keen on this one. But the positive bits are the amazing sheen in the top. A better quality LED light might do a better job of lighting up the internal charring. Love your experimental methods.
👍🏻 😀 idea: 10. Execution: 10. Entertaining: 10. Usefulness of build: 6. Thank you again !
💎Now that's a shine! Awesome job on that top.
In the beginning I was like thinking "what the dickens is he doing" then kept watching until the end and I thought "wow what a cool art piece!" I loved it.. 👍💯😎
I see shou Sugi ban, I watch!!
Welcome!
Great looking project. Thank you.
🥰Love it. Love the odd-ball pattern and the two tone colour.
🦫 wow well done!!!
Perfect emoji 😂
Most times, projects don't end up how they are envisioned but they are always worth while and awesome. ☺️
Oh man! This is one of my favorites!
I absolutely love this. You did such an amazing job!❤️🔥🔥🪵
I made it to where you said i probably didn't make it this far, so there. Gonna go take several showers now.
This was an amazing "art' project in my view.
I wouldn't use it in my house, but as an art piece, it's great
Agreed. The idea is there, but needs to be fleshed out a bit. Like Bob Ross says, "there are no mistakes, just happy accidents" 😊
I've seen a fair number of your videos now, and think this table is my favorite!
Oh awesome!
At first I hated the contrasting pattern, but the more I watched the more I fell in love with it.
🤙Creative and patient, I'll pass on the spaghetti dinner at your house.
Being able to see clear through is so cool
Beautiful. Considering the work involved, it's awesome
Cool idea but better if outside all black with red light deep inside of it
I was thinking that he “dimples” would look great in color that progressed from a darker color to a lighter color as it progressed towards the top. I know it would take time and patience but any way that’s my thought and, fiber light rods in the center that would spread out at the top would or might look fantastic.. I didn’t like thence to the way you left it.
That would look great!
One " layman" idea is to take some foil, crush it in your hand, it's all wrinkly now. Place it all along the hollow part, then when you turn on the puck light in red, it would look exactly as if the log is smoldering. The wrinkles in the foil give such a realistic effect, as it stifles the light along the wrinkle line and let's the shiny part reflect. If you look at smoldering coals or wood, it has " ash-lines" in an irregular pattern . The wrinkles give that effect. The dark top would won't let the foil be visible when the light is off.
Amazing. Beautiful.
🕵 Cam I might be a year late but I actually enjoyed that one. The Led lights have gotten a lot better over time they have some with a separate IR module that will give you 4 to 6 inches away from the lights to mount so that your remote will work every time. More light projects please
I'm guessing that's not going to work without the ir receiver mounted in line of sight. So radio based wireless might be the way to go. ESP32 might be a thing although I'm sure radio controlled LEDs are probably a thing now.
13:49 'Unfortunately that's an accurate reflection' 😂😂
🤷🏻♂️
Love it man, thanks for sharing. Have really been looking forward to doing both a wood char and epoxy project so, this is great inspiration. Love the texture you made on the log and the contrast too, has a sort of reverse effect with the clean wood dripping down in stead of the char.
Really nice smooth gloss finish there as well, I may have sanded the inside of the stump hole a bit to bring out some tonal variety, which would probably help seeing into the epoxy.
All in all really cool process, subbed.
I really enjoyed this thankyou
I like the bare wood reveals, just think there’s too much if it
🌚🖤 My only phobia is a world without Blacktail vids
😂😂
Loved the whole thing
🔥love the look, also love playing with fire, thank you for letting us know all the tools you use. Great work, I'm very inspired
👍🏻 awesome!!! I like the brass legs and the finish is amazing. Absolutely love watching your videos. Wondering if you are going to do a video on the 30k table you paid 12k for the slab? Thanks Cam!!!
Oh for sure. Just won’t be done till 2022
Loved the cracks. Nice.
Great piece !!! Love your experiments and artistic style. Fantastic
You taught us something new…thanks!
Love this one. I like different, "chaotic" art.
👍love your work. You're not afraid to take risks .and I can tell you're having fun and that's what it's all about
Love it. It's so different
😍 the table! Really like the legs, which elevate it to a much more elegant piece. I was expecting a larger diameter glass top or something like that
Absolutely love this one!
