I can’t imagine spending 46k on a countertop but that house looks like anything I would ever be able to buy either. Beautiful work as always
Haha yes, I think it was within their budget! Thanks so much!
I completely disagree with comments talking about the "inferior" craftsmanship of the old countertop. The old countertop was likely done at a fraction of the cost of the new one, and the use of inferior materials actually makes the finished look of the product even more difficult to achieve. I totally understand the desire to upgrade, but I am still quite impressed with what the previous guy was able to achieve with the materials he used
If the customer is happy with the cost it doesnt make any difference what the the rest of us think. My brother is a cabinet maker and im suprised sometimes at the sost of projects. A $46,000 dollar countertop in that house with all the extras doesn't suprise me. Beautiful job.
Yeah, sometimes the wood alone makes the project super expensive! Thanks Steve!
@@BlackForestWoodCo while watching ur videos, i was thinking of a table design and was hoping u could build it in your next project or video,can u build a table and inside the table put a wood shape like a tree and use green color epoxy for the tree leafs colors.. .can you please try to do that... I hope u understand the table design idea.. for example.. its like painting a tree or curving a tree on the table and coloring the tree..
Dido.
Charlie is looking great. Yes - the upgrade was well worth it. The craftsmanship that went into your countertop is far superior to what you took off and will last longer. Absolutely love the vanities. Obviously your client can afford what you did. Stay safe.
Thank you! Yes, the solid-wood will definitely last longer! And yes, Charlie is quite the handsome guy!
If the customer likes it, the project is worth the price, no matter how much it is...
Agreed!
Wow amazing pieces of art. Thanks Dylan and the crew at BFWco. For bringing us along.
Thanks for watching Maddie!
property is amazing the workmanship and attention to detail and really all your work is definitely worth any price. what you guys do is priceless.
Thank you so much Tim! 😄
i freaking love all of these pieces, they're beautiful! walnut is always one of my favourite wood types, these pieces (especially the vanities) really displayed it nicely
Thanks so much Sandy! Yes, claro walnut is so beautiful
Hi 👋, Black Forest, another amazing project, well done lads, that is one beautiful Lakeside property, I/we look 👀 forward to seeing more amazing projects, stay safe, Phil from the moulin,
Hello 👋
Thank you Phil!
Another superb production & installation of what I consider Living Art by Black Forest Wood Co., all your pieces that I’ve seen so far are definitely worth every penny in my opinion.
The house like this deserves the best countertop :)
Great vid. Please get that mafel for dust control. Ditch the 10 inch skilsaw.
oh Dillion sweetie! this is so cool! Congratulations on being chosen for the new series! i hope it gets picked up for the PBS CREATE CHANNEL! SO AWESOME! SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS! GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON CREATING BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART! YOU ALL INSPIRE ME TOO!
CHARLIE IS ADORABLE! LOL!!! WE LOVE HIM!!!
Thank you so much Dottie! I don't think they know 100% which network it will air on yet, but we'll definitely post something when we find out when and where it's airing!
@@dottiemathews6853 Yes, he's the best!
Now the client can answer guest; yes this is solid walnut. Incredible work as always.
Really nice work!!! Can't say enough about how good your craftsmanship is. You can't control what will happen with a counter top. The old veneer tops could easily be nicked or gouged and they don't patch well. Solid is the only way to go. It will develop some character over the years but that will only add to it's beauty. I can visualize the beer bottle sliding down counter top now!!
Wow! Stunning as always!! 💪
Thanks so much!
Nice job, great work. It goes so good with the property
Thanks so much!
Outstanding job!!! Thanks for showing the entire project from start to finish. You and your team make complicated jobs look easy. On a personal note, thanks for correctly pronouncing the word humbling (the "H" is silent). Keep up the good work!!!
Thank so much John!
Yes, worth it considering the build.
That's a gorgeous countertop, well worth the money.
Good to see someone licking the boots of the ruling class
With a home like that, replacing the veneer makes perfect sense.
Agreed!
brilliant work fellas.
good to see Charlie front and centre
Thanks 👍
Yes, it's been awhile since we've got him in a video!
Definitely worth it
Beautiful work once again. Great to finally see Charlie again lol.
Yes, we've been hiding him from his fans for too long haha
Great video. Terrific work. For me, probably a little more than I could afford, but you deserve every dime.
Thanks Albert! It's definitely a pricy piece and not for everyone!
Beautiful top! You gave me an idea for my new term for people who cross me: "Ash Bracket". "Why you gotta be such an ash bracket?"
Beautiful
Amazing job Dylan. So cool to see James helping with the install. #ogcommunity
Thanks David! 💪
if i had such a beautiful countertop i think i would be terrified to use it for fear of damaging it! all the pieces are absolutely gorgeous
also i have to say i love a little Charlie cameo
Haha me too! And yes, it was a long overdue cameo!
Love you guys!
Thanks Chris! The feeling is mutual! 😀
12/1/23 TN MRZ-1 YES,YES,& YES ( Like your dog Charlie)you guys are awesome.
Thanks so much!
It's well worth the money. If you have a house like that, you want the best in woodwork. I wasn't keen on the tiles in the first bathroom, but that's just a matter of personal taste.
Thank you Debbiepoole2247! i thought i was the only one who didn't like the tiles in the bathroom!
Thank you Debbie and haha that's fair, to each their own!
I love the work that you guys do. If I could stand the cold winters I’d love to apply for a job with BFW. Keep up the good work and oh yeah I did catch a boo boo. You said no plywood was used yet it plainly shows it in the video…oops.
WOW! What an awesome job. I’m sure you are worth it….hi to Charlie🐾
Thank you so much! Josie! Charlie says hello! 🐾
It does look great, but what about wood movement? At least with the veneer you don't have to worry about expansion or contraction. How much will this counter top move?
I think "worth it" is really subjective. To me? absolutely not. For the client and your business? Absolutely. Lots of people like to hate and say you're way overcharging, but forgetting about the cost of those slabs alone, and the great team you guys have, among many other reasons. I keep hearing from other woodworkers that, "nobody appreciates custom work anymore," well this is proof that this isn't true. The truth is that most people just don't have the extra money anymore to spend on custom work, and you really need to stand out in today's market. Make yourself different; exceptional.
Tite bond 3 is Foodsafe and tite bond 2 is not, so 3 is the correct one to use on a kitchen counter anyway. I know it’s not a cutting board but you have a good reason there to use 3. It’s not overkill
Agreed! Thanks for pointing that out too!
Something is worth as much as someone is willing to pay ... to me the price is nuts, but I'm not the customer, as long as they are happy that's all that matters ... have a look at prices of art (paintings) if you want truly obscene prices!!
I care about the skill and craftsmanship which goes into a project ... this is, as usual, of the highest standard and is absolutely stunning 👍
I really like how the wood looked in the kitchen. I liked the vanity. I did not like how that wallpaper looked. That was just plain ugly. The vanity looked out of place. It just didn't match. Even with the counter top in the kitchen, It kind of stuck out like a sore thumb. Please tell me they are going to repaint the walls. The wood they chose is absolutely beautiful. I just hope they can hire a interior decorator. to get everything to match up. It was great seeing Charlie. Question: Do any of the products you used on these countertops okay to apply to a cutting board or charcuterie board? Thanks for another great video.
Good thing people have different tastes. The homeowners may love all of it who are you to say it’s ugly?
I do say it's ugly. That is my opinion. I didn't stutter, I didn't put my hand over my mouth. I say the wallpaper is ugly. You haven't offered anything to change my mind. @@michaelmaas5544
Nice
First, you guys did an amazing job as expected 👍. As far as the cost, obviously the client has all the money, and when you have all the money, spend it how you will. Hopefully they earned the money and have every right to whatever with it. My only criticism, the walls in the bathrooms where the 2 tops when ... what the heck were they think'n 🤯
Was it worth it? Thats a pretty loaded question. Beautiful work on the countertop it looks fantastic in that house. Its amazing to me what some people are able to afford, good for them!
Awesome quality. Good job.
Now for a serious question. I want what issues do you get when bring your finished projects over the U.S. border? I plan to bring a Red Cedar bar top up my cabin in Nova Scotia .
Kitchen seemed a little smaller than I would have thought house is beautiful.
Yes, worth it 😀
Thanks so much! It's definitely a beautiful piece!
Yea! Was looking to see if I had an upload notification which I didn’t did a wee search n here we are 😊 Iv a question do you design and create pieces for your own personal use ? X
Every once in awhile when there's enough room to work on personal projects in the shop! Dylan is currently working on a dining table for his place!
Beautiful work as always, shame that vanity unit was going into a bathroom with tiles from a cheap 1980’s disco.
Were any of the finishes used food safe? Doesn't looks like they will be using the counter for that, just curious.
Absolutely stunning!
What are those bolts at 5:04 called?
Where is this client located in Canada, or at least what general region? The landscape is amazing.
What do you guys do with all your scrap wood?
onca again a beatiful build, but as mentioned bevor,i would highly suggest you guys to work on how you look when installing the funirture packages, currently you look very amateur unfortunatly.
i dont want to hate on you guys it's just a feedback for you to improve,
Greetings from switzerland, keep up the good work!
If they have the money than of course its worth it😂😂😂
Amazing home. I mean, over-the-top as over-the-top gets, but amazing home. I'm going to assume the money for the replacement countertop was nothing to them. That said, there was nothing wrong with the existing countertop. It looked nice and seemed stable. You guys appeared to do a great job, but I hope you guys took the old one back to your shop. What a waste if it just got thrown out.
The price probably sounds high to a lot of people because you can get the "same" items made from lesser materials and construction techniques for a much lower price. And if that's the market you are used to the higher price can be unreal, seem unreasonable and basically be upsetting. On the other hand it's worth it.
Yes exactly, premium wood at this thickness definitely isn't cheap unfortunately!
Your work is so amazing, As an old retired carpenter, contractor, developer who apprenticed at 15 back in the 60's I really admire you young guy's talents and skills and going to the next level of craftsmanship. The only drawback I see in your videos is your father is so out of place with you young heroes, tell him to retire
“Do I think it’s worth it”?? No, but I don’t have the money they do, so it doesn’t matter what I think😊
What lake is that?
Wow
Does the resin yellow over time or is there a way to prevent that?
Since there's a black dye in it, any appearance of yellowing won't be visible
yeah if i had those kind of money... everything would be hand custom made ;)
Just curious, what was the cost of the slab itself?
Maybe 3K at best 🤣 complete scam
Whats the youtube channel for In the Workshop?
It will be broadcast on TV, it's not out yet but we'll post about it when it is!
I have no idea if it’s worth the cost or not. I guess that always depends on what the client thinks, however that is one gorgeous countertop.
Is this worth it? If you have that much money to spend, my answer is yes. It is a beautiful piece.
I’d just do the core in pine and the outer 3/4” in walnut and you’d never know the difference. But, if you have the coin, I understand why people do it.
In our city, we can build, easily, outclass two storey house on 1250 square feet land in fifty thousand dollars.
Hope that countertop doesn't crack with expansion and contraction over the years.
I'm surprised you don't use the fancy domino bolt joints like what dusty sales I mean lumber company has shown.😂
50k no way. Too rich for my blood. Looks nice though!
Haha that's okay! Thank you!
If I would be willing to spend that much on a countertop, I would have asked you guys to make me some decent cabinets for under the top. men those excisting cabinets are ugly! like office cabinets. great countertop do!
Haaaaaa..Charlie..
My kitchen is exactly the same wood and finish as this one and it was less than half the price 🤣
Was it as thick and long as this countertop is? Those are the main reasons for the cost of this counter being more. Finding a thick slab of high-quality walnut that wasn't warped, that was also long enough for the countertop makes a huge cost difference
Why does the voice over sound muffled compared to what the camera picks up ? Compared to the Joe Manganiello table video there is a big difference. Not criticizing just wondering what happened ? 😊
I've been running it through Adobe's enhanced speech filter to get clearer, less echoey voiceovers, but I'll turn it down in my future editing 👍
@@BlackForestWoodCo Natural echo from surroundings is probably more acceptable than heavy filtering by some programs. I use headphones to listen to your videos, maybe the effect is different if you use speakers. 👍😊
They should have spent their money on new tile
Wow, 47k. Convert it to my currency and I can buy a small apartment!
remember that time you chased me aroun d your neighborhood with a knife
46k worth the fancy desk? heck naw, I could get a GOOD car with that. I could buy everything I need/want to buy right now few times over.
I wouldn’t pay half of that. I’ll just make my own
This countertop costs as much as my house
It’s obviously worth it because they paid it.
Im not convinced those bathrooms are worthy of the timber.
Good lord the tiles in the bathrooms looks like a strip club
$50,000 😂😂😂 a fool and his money is soon parted
If you can afford a 50k counter top, you ain’t a fool
you literally just proved his statement. money =/= intelligence@@evil1knight
You always sound like you're apologizing for using Titebond III. But honestly, is there ever a time you wouldn't use Titebond III? After all, if it's the best, it's the best, and that's what we want for our customers.
It's just technically overkill a lot of the time we use it but yeah, we have the same thought process about it! It's better to overdo it than to have future issues!
More money than sense
46k is a lot of money, it looks great but wouldn't spend that much for that, doing it in quartz or marblenwould have been cheaper
17:02 "to match everything else" everything else is white or near white... thats brown.
We meant matching the shelf to the other wood in the house, not the colours it was near
guys they have a DOCK. they can afford a 50k countertop
It's not Oregone but pronounced Oregun
No
But it IS very nice.
Haha fair! Thanks so much!
Guy in the black tshirt needs to be clean shaven to ensure he gets a tight seal with his respirator.
No
respectfully, it's pronounced "orygun"
Veneer IS real wood - not suitable for a bar countertop or bathroom vanity, but don't go saying that it isn't real wood. One of the problems I have with woodworking on CZcams is people that don't have a clue how to use veneer and where to use it.
great work but over priced..
Yeah.. Living in the USA.. where everything.. is super overpriced..and the quality of life kinda sux.. In My country i'll buy a full builded house made of bricks with those money.. and still have some change to spend.
We are not from the US
I am broke... so no lol
Hahaha that's understandable!
YOU SAID OREGON WRONGGGGGGG😭😭😭
Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Iam out!
And in to Ikea.
