Why didn't use glass instead? It's way better for this application 🙃 specially tempered glass
-
Those steel rods transform this from a dramatic piece of art into a sickly industrial afterthought. Mind-boggling design choice.
-
Absolutely impressive work on that base. Simple compliment but words cannot describe how much I actually loved seeing how this turned out. Absolutely fantastic job!
-
Great job!! I’ve only been woodworking for 4 years and have a small shop on my property here in Northern California. It’s only 13X13 but I have it full of tools and it’s been great. I’m 65 this week so I figured out a little late in life that I had a passion for woodworking.
-
Brother that is a beautiful root, and a fantastic table… honestly the root would be an incredible sculpture all on its own. I truly hope they take great care of it. Peace
-
Can you imagine what it would of looked like with some lights in the base casting shadows into the roots ,but an amazing piece of furniture 👌
-
Loved how you sanded the end grain to bring out the detail. It would have been amazing if you could have sanded and sealed the whole piece, also back lighting on the wood. Despite my ideas the piece looks great.
-
Wow, so many negative comments… it’s beautiful, you should be so proud 😊
-
My husband is getting me into woodworking. He’s been asking me to watch videos with him. This is the first one I watched from start to finish. I love that table. Great work!!
-
I don't hate the rods, but I think redwood branches cut to size would have looked better.
-
I like how you used the rusted steel rods rather than polishing them so the blend in with the color of the root system and do not stand out or take away from the view of the wood. The wood and metal base is a great feature and looks very nice. I think the acrylic top looks amazing also. Overall. stunning piece.
-
I am speechless! I cannot understand how you can have so much knowledge and skill with all of the different Mediums and Tools, at such a young age. Your Dad has to be incredibly proud of you. Absolutely amazing work and Video. Thanks.
-
Man.. there sits many Judges High on their Horses here on YouTube? Mostly highly critical of someone’s artistic work? Every artist sees things in their own way, that’s what makes being an artist is so unique!
-
It looks glorious and I like that it is in a public space rather than someone's private dining room! Congratulations!
-
Beautifully done! The only thing I would do differently is putting in some under lighting. But great job!
-
Very impressive! The rods throw it off a bit for me but to each their own. One idea I’d think about on a different topic would be adding some lighting in the root system to give it some cool depth.
-
Beautiful!! The aquarium exploded recently, sadly - the one pictured from the acrylic maker.
-
Fantastic table, but to me, the vertical steel rods are glaringly inappropriate. Sorry. They clash with the curvaceous base. Plexiglas at 1-1/2" thick is plenty strong enough for the vertical rods not to be necessary. Some straightforward bending strength calculations should have been done before deciding whether such rods were necessary. Good luck with your next one.
-
Amazing craftsmanship. I live about an hour away from Redding. I plan on going to this restaurant to see this table in person.
-
Amazing piece of art!!! I love the preservation of the 1,500 year old Red Wood!! Wow!!!
