Hate to say it but i think i like the blue better at least between those gray chairs
I like the title change
@@HateHater2205there will probably be more to come 😬
Instead of "ocean" or "sea" burst you could try a honeyburst table - it would be interesting to put something in a similar palette against the walnut too, it's exceptional walnut and even if the solid or burst blue can't beat it maybe a "honey" or "tea" burst could.
I never leave comments but this one hit home a bit. There's something to be said for versatility and proving a point. I commend that fully. But to a person who thinks that finding the artistic capacity of the wood and creating something beautiful with it is art in itself. Wood carving or whatever other form of raw talent you "dont" have is not overshadowed by being able to take Walnut and create something worth what you ask for it. What's more, to say that Wood must be colorful to be good is laughable, that's what metal is for. Woodwork is to showcase the wood, hence the reason most carpenters use coatings that don't alter it's color. The beauty is in the material and the ability to shape that material not the carcinogens you cover it with.
If you’re curious like me but doesn’t want to leave yt, walnut table was sold by 4300 usd while the blue one was sold for 3700 usd! I loved both ❤
Thanks for saying.
That's what I figured. The blue is incredible, but the people looking for that color on wood aren't paying buying tables at that price. They're buying guitars.
Yeah i think the blue one is super cool but I start think if I had that table where would I put it and I came to the conclusion it’s just way too much table like I would have to theme a whole room around that table to the point the room would be around the table rather than the table in the room and I just ain’t got the sauce for all that
My listening room is all blue and gold decor. A really swanky place to drink bourbon and listen to records. That blue one would have been perfect. But I can see why the walnut would be a more versatile piece for a variety of settings. Thanks for telling us the prices.
I wonder how much the colour impacted things. A bright blue colour will have trouble selling, as a lower number of bidders will lower the ending bids. Most commonly wanted colours are neutral colours: the usual white, grey an black, along with darker tones of blue, turquoise and green. Blacktail Studio added colour and did great work with that and the work as a whole, but the choice of colour itself is a vital step he didn't linger on long enough. I don't know if that would have bumped up the price or not...
I think the best form of reflection is the type that you take all criticism with a grain of salt and say, "Hey, you could be right! Let's try it!"
funny part is it could be constructive criticism if the person hadn't been a snarky asshole and said he just copied stuff.
Absolutely 👊
The better-than-best form of reflection goes straight to the last three words, while skipping the first twenty-seven.
The best form of reflection is when you realize criticism is only critical if you're not prepared to handle people's honest opinions.
Respectfully, I don’t have the $997 for the course. I’m trying to create a woodworking business out of my garage and I haven’t even got the money to put my heating on this winter. Can you advise those of us who are struggling on how to move forward? The main issue I’ve found is finding a platform that actually works for the little guys. EBay and Etsy have been a non starter. My work is high quality yet all I seem to get is totally ridiculous offers that aren’t even 10% of materials costs.
I feel like an intruder posting here, but I really enjoy watching these videos. At 85, I don't have the stamina, the skill, or the room in my garage to undertake anything at all in the woodworking world. I did take woodworking in my Texas high school under a terrific teacher and got an appreciation for the products of our work and imagination. Then, later, as a high school math teacher, I could appreciate the skill of the teachers and what their students produced. I spend a couple of hours or more each day watching, and really enjoy your comments, your trial-and-error methods and always the finished product. Don't worry about the trolls - they're everywhere! I'm editing this post - I don't know the name that appears at the top of this message, unless that is what the Internet assigned me when I subscribed.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Such a sweet and heartwarming reply! Thank you for sharing this! I wish you the best, have an amazing day!
You could probably try and do hand chiseling little ornaments like birds or so, that would be a lot less strenuous and still just as creative. Small carved boxes would be nice too for smaller less physically demanding projects. Thank you for sharing you brightened my day :)
This post is adorable. I know a bit of woodworking from my technical theatre class (also in texas!) But nothjng nearly what this man does.
You are way more skilled than you give yourself credit for. I had a real problem choosing between the blue table and the natural wood finish table. Blue is my favorite color and the blue one would fit right into my blue and white decor scheme. Conversely, I love the wood finishes that you do and that’s one reason I watch your videos. Everything you make is so magnificent!
I have so much respect for you saying “I messed up by doing X, then realized Z is better.” You’re like NONE of the bosses I’ve had.
The blue table with the fade was really cool. Kind of had that 'custom guitar' aesthetic. But that said, I still liked the walnut one even more. Awesome work all around.
It is Gibson blueberry burst not even custom it is a famous one
@@E.Mulchiif he had layered more colors on like that, it would have looked really cool. Like maybe purple and black added. Still looks pretty good tho.
We recently came across your channel. We are in awe of the quality of your work. Your patience definitely shows in the final product. Everything you design and make is 100%. You've been blessed with a gift.
I started watching your videos with the fire table! I love what you do with every piece you create, and I love that you are sensibly snarky with the negative comments. Personally, I like both the blue and brown tables, I think the overall design of the room would dictate which one I would buy. Keep up the great work 👍
Blue is low key so unique and pretty. I didn't expect the wood to shine through the blue dye like that. I do think the walnut will sell for more and is also pretty but that blue is something else.
What's not unique is still using the word "lowkey".
I think the blue will sell for way more, the walnut is pretty but boring
But you started your comment with blue so... you cant be playing us like that smh.
@@jomangeee9180right now the blue is 800 Dollars vs the 1k for the walnut
@@unironicaluser1867 I would personally buy the blue 💙, I think the walnut has a wider audience appeal
Surprisingly, I think the blue table will sell for more. If you do another colored table, guitar makers often start with a black or charcoal stain first to get the grain patterns to really "pop", then sand it back and use the actual color such as blue, purple, etc.
I guess you could do a similar thing in monochrome, the blue sanded back to the turquoise/aqua
I love the blue but I would love to see something dyed a bright pink❤ maybe for Breast Cancer research. Love you work & I will be bidding on Blue
Unsurprisingly, you were wrong. The blue table sold for less.
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus holy snark on this comment
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus how much did they each sell for?
blue! i absolutely love how the blue table turned out. the wood choice was class and the blue made the pattern really pop
These are stunning. Phenomenal work. I like your work. I like working with wood myself but have limited space and resources but I strive to get a little better each time. Watching your videos gives me little ideas that I can try. Thanks and look forward to watching your other videos.👍
I'll never get tired of walnut. It's such a beautifully coloured wood, a perfect mix of warm and cool undertones.
Brown. The blue table is actually really cool, but I think it appeals to a smaller group of people. The oil finished walnut look is kind of timeless and can mesh well with a lot of other decor choices. The blue table is basically limited to ultra modern style spaces. Both are awesome though. The blue table is definitely unique!
Cam you have such an amazing story. The quality you bring is outstanding and inspiring to the viewers. Thank you so so much for sharing your passion. I find your videos fun to watch and educational. At the same time I enjoy how you take on challenges and mishaps. I really enjoy watching you!!!
Personally, I would say Blue and brown. I honestly can’t say what I like more, and the thing I learned is that you essentially don’t even make them for yourself. Of course you still need to like them, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just want to compliment you on taking on the challenge though. Keep the camera rolling 😊
The turquoise fade was an awesome choice. It helps bring out the pattern in the wood, and when you're working with an organic product, you should always try to take advantage of the natural art that's already in the wood. If I were in the market for a table, I'd have gone for blue. But blue is also my favorite color and you did a spectacular job.
Brown. Hands down. The reason walnut/wood pieces will always sell for more is they are able to fit a wider array of décor styles and color pallets. Bright blue like in the video is niche. At best. And, much easier to come by for affordable prices at major retailers. You can't get hardwood tables, let alone ones with resin inlays and pours, at Walmart or Lowe's. That said, I think both pieces turned out beautifully and you really elevated the results with those amazing finishes.
100% right !!! I have a beautiful blue guitar that looks fantastic, but it's a guitar, not furniture.
Blue, I absolutely love both the tables but the blue is exceptional it really stands out and I can see it in any Decor whether that be vintage, ocean, modern Etc. I think it will go with anything. I love your Walnut table also but I really have to say the blue is the best. Great job loved watching how you accomplished all of this!
BROWN! Love your videos! I really like how you keep little mistakes, like the circle jig in the wrong place. Makes it feel more genuine.
Brown...and I'm originally from the midwest!!! You're correct about the blue and the coasts. I sold a place I owned in Sausalito a few years ago. When remodeling it, I had four panel solid oak doors installed, custom maple kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, custom oak fireplace surround and mantel, and oak crown mouldings. Sold the place to a native Californian and first thing he did was paint everything white and painted the walls gray and black!!!! YIKES!
As a public school grad myself, I also agree that half of 23 is 12.5. 😂 love the tables man.

I am impressed with the quality of your work, I am just getting started with a few tables .I have a piece of redwood 11ft X4ft trying to figure out legs for it . I have cedar and some curly maple. I have been playing around with different ideas.I am a disabled veteran with time on my hands and few tools
Blue...As a lover of natural and rarely used color on my work I do like the blue table quite a lot. I also love the walnut table mostly because it is spectacular wood and natural. Thanks for sharing the work you do. I am a turner but have just started thin king about using carving similar in nature to what you do on some of my work.
Offering assistance to Make A Wish for children is awesome! Any charity that legitimately takes helping people seriously!
"I don't need your judgment" literally made me laugh. Thanks for that and your open, honest delivery.
I really liked the blue to turquoise fade, that was a nice touch! They’re both really cool tables, though I do think the walnut one has a little bit more flexibility in the kinds of interiors it would work in
The top of the blue one looks like water, like waves on the ocean!! Incredible
The blue one turned out much better than I thought it could but that Bastogne walnut is just too nice.
The fire and epoxy table is probably one of my most favorite pices of furniture ive ever seen. You knocked it out of the park with that one. Someone is going to be very lucky and happy.
Agreed it's an amazing table. I just assumed he sold it for a bunch of money, and it deserves it!
i would like to see another with two phases to the epoxy part. first phase small back lit orange and red embers and second phase clear coat smooth surface.
The texture on the top looks really cool. Like silk, or the ocean.
This is my first video that I watched on your channel and I loved it! I liked the walnut table a little bit better but the blue table was also very cool! Thank you for your time and effort!
The contrast between the two is amazing. That blue maple inset into the walnut would be something to see.
This. That would be a gorgeous combo.
Brown table is my favorite but i know that the blue table is definitely someone’s table. It feels like it’s made for someone and idk who but I’d love to meet them! nice tables though, both are absolutely stunning
Brown
Great job on both tables. The blue looks amazing and will no doubt look fantastic in the right setting! However, I would without any hesitation opt for the walnut. I look forward to seeing which table sells for a higher bid!
Walnut. Love the side by side build. I can see the blue in some retro setting. I love them both, but I'm more partial to the Walnut.
I feel like I would be more likely to purchase the walnut, but would be more likely to notice and compliment the blue table in someone else's home. They're both beautiful!
“Are you covid vaccinated” is the most random thing to ask someone after not paying them 😆. Love how you always handle things Cam.

@@ScoobGruber No one asked
As an artist who likes to work with color, I like both and I liked how you used different colors on it.😊
Blue just might be the one to finish in front because of the novelty of it for you. I think they are both stunning to look at & so my final choice, for me personally, I wood go with the Walnut. It is a 'warm' wood with many colour variations that show up remarkably well with the finishes you use. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
The blue table looks amazing between the two leather chairs... however, I'd assume that average high end customers (not art collectors) would prefer natural wood colors over flashy dyes. It'll be interesting to see the bids 🎉 You picked the perfect wood for the blue dye table, though!
Definitely new money vs old money. Lol. I could see the blue being gorgeous a modern bachelor pad of a programmer or something.
The Walnut is BY FAR the better looking piece but the blue doesn't look too bad either. You do some awesome work my friend. Came for the woodworking, stayed for the HILARIOUS sense of humor.
He is a bit of a smart ass.
The moment you tossed the tape measurer from mis calculating was so genuine. Anyone who has does anything crafty has felt that same feeling. Thank you for keeping this in the video. You are now more human. Still a woodworking wizard though.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! The use of colored stain is spectacular and I look forward to seeing you use more color in your projects!!!!! Some of the techniques that you used for this project are used in pottery-making. A hollowed out bade (on a plate or mug) is called a "foot"
I like the natural brown more but that blue looks so cool! Looks like it would be right at home in a guitar room!
As a childhood leukemia survivor and a participant in a few make a wish foundation events, I am honored to have come across your channel and to see that you are doing a build for the foundation that has supported the families of children not as blessed I had been. Please keep it up because it means ALOT to us survivors
They both look amazing! However my favorite is the walnut. I'm a first time watcher and a novice woodworker, will definitely be following you! I'm currently building my third table used reclaimed redwood.
Blue and great vid! Its really situational... I love real wood clean pieces... the blue is retro but rustic... and classy. Its doesn't look cheap retro... and its still so unique with natural wood it removes the plastics feeling of most even expensive garbage. Its perfect for a themed environment... a sun room or covered deck on the lake... or seaside or in someone's retro style condo. Great work! Great thing with colors is so so many looks can be done... like the countertop guys do. Cheers!
Blue or brown, I can't say which is gonna sell more. However, I'm absolutely thrilled with the path you took with the blue. Sanding after the dye to highlight the grain was an excellent choice and it came out awesome.
Hey Cam, just wanted to say I'm a big fan of yours. I don't do any woodwork whatsoever, but I watch all your videos. You figured out what it takes to generate millions of views - creativity, genuineness (and yes, you talking adds so much personality and interest in these videos), humor, and just all the beautiful and detailed work in general. I think I'm part of the many, but these videos are always something I look forward to (to watch between work breaks or sleep). Just wanted to share that! Also, if you do any future charity videos, would you be open to the Dravet Syndrom Foundation? One of my closest friends just found out his 11-month old daughter has Dravet syndrome. It has no cure, and 20% of children don't make it to adulthood. Since it impacts such a small minority of children, it doesn't get the attention it needs. Just wanted to throw it out there, and appreciate what you're doing for the Make a Wish foundation! All the best, Anthony.

Agreed
Email sent! The subject line is "Blacktail Studios - Charity Ideas - Dravet Syndrome Foundation". Appreciate you sir!
It would take a very modern home to accept the blue table. Congrats in doing a fine job on both!
The" blue job" was incredible. It was seriously one of the coolest colors I have seen. I am not rich, but seeing these made helps me live vicariously through your work. Thank you for havunf this channel.
I think the blue looks stunning! So does the brown, I would absolutely love a dark red colored table like that, would go with other pieces I have in my room, colors are great but I feel like are harder to sell to people who aren’t specifically looking for a colored table
Ooh yeah, a dark red would be wonderful.
A dark red or a dark green would be my preference. Other colors would have to have a very specific decor, more non-nature artsy with a specific color palette. Annndddd that’s why I end up with a variety of natural wood furniture and decor accidentally. 😂
I generally consider paint on the wood as sacrilege or just bad taste as it hides the natural beauty of the veins. But because the semitransparent blue paint doesn't entirely hide the veins, the table looks gorgeous. It changed my mind about painting a piece of wood. Thank you for the inspiration, knowledge and entertainment.
It's not paint. It's dye.
I would say you're still correct when it comes to actual paint on stain grade wood being sacrilegious. Luckily the blue tint he used here was more of a stain, so you can still see the wood grain.
@@brianlawrence9959 And there's the difference. And I just noticed you got hearted, lol! He's all up in the comments section.

Would love to see you try working on a lathe! I love watching lathe work and I think you’d suit it!
This right here is one of the numerous reasons I watch and subscribe to your channel, Cam. Your humble and subtly humorous approach to things is every bit entertaining as it is a learning point. As for an ‘average’ woodworker, personally I find above all it’s your attention to detail that truly elevates you well above that category. Another gem of a video, thank you sir!
Art isn't just about highly detailed pieces, your furniture is definitely art and you are definitely an artist!
Easy and interesting to watch video! Great to see thee process, time and care put into it, thank you 😊 ps I think the tables were on par, all down to taste
Colors are fun! I'd love to see a deep purple-y wine red, I feel like if's more in the "possible wood" shade ranges and wouldn't clash as much in most decors but still be unique Both tables are great though!
Brown - I love the brown one, but also the blue one is really cool. The thing that I love more is your dedication to documenting and commenting the whole process. That's such a tedious work and you're nailing it every single video. I really hope this also is kind of fun for you.
Brown. Dude, beyond being a woodworking wiz, you are killing the business part. The n3 nano, the epoxy workshop, custom tools, the creator course. I'm a huge fan of the projects you do but I'm even more impressed with your business mindset.
Thanks man, trying to keep the content at the forefront though!
@@BlacktailStudio I'm okay with that! Already looking forward to the next video.
I just love watching you work, your creativity, admitting your misgivings & failings is especially refreshing. I wasnt a huge fan of the blue table (my love for natural woodgrain). But I tried to analyze what bothered me. I think it's the way the aqua fades to the centre of the top. It kinda looks like as kids your felt tip runs out so you lick it and scrub for all its worth to get the last smidges of color. I agree monotone isn't always the most interesting so maybe next you could contrast with darker tones rather than fading to lighter tones.
I like both tables and i would buy either one of them. But i really love the natural wood table. I love your work and the fact that you show your mistakes so others will learn from them. That's the mark of a great teacher. Thank you sir.
If you want figured maple to really pop, dye it black, sand it back then add the blue to clear, then some straight clear. You will get a lot of depth like that. Love both tables and the idea behind this video! Keep up the great work
Long time lurker here. I'm loving the blue, not really my style but reminds me of one of my dad's bass guitars. It's green and as a child, I always thought it was velvet trapped in glass. Keep going, love the spirit of the challenge!
I’d love to make a green version (if you have a small budget i can do an exterior maple and interior plywood just reply to this comment. I’m based in stl
Also, what about some carving? That would be pretty sick; plus it could add to the character the builds have already. These pieces blow my mind.
I love both tables! I personally would have loved the same blue colour at the base though. Awesome job and I hope you make lots of money on them
Beautiful work as usual Cam. Just wanted to say you really are one of the elite KZhead creators. Perfect balance of personality, humour, content, quality and craftsmanship. Well done on your well deserved success. All the best from the UK.
Blue table turned out absolutely totally bespoke and the depth of colour on timber was brilliant, not taking anything away from the walnut table again a stunning piece. Great work.
Wow I did not like the blue table all the way along but it came out better than I imagined - thanks for all the talent you share !🎉
The underbase texture looks great. I'd love a table with that texture all over (obviously plain flat top). As for the colours, the blue does look really nice. Key problem is that many colour schemes won't work with the blue whereas the walnut works with most. So even though it looks just as good you've reduced your customer base fighting over it at auction. Different coloured woods might look great too, but again walnut likely has the largest customer base which will offset the fact that other woods might look nicer for some customers. That quilted maple in a wood colour would likely be my favourite given the right room colour scheme, though the blue turned out fantastic too.
I do lean more towards the natural wood, but the blue looks absolutely amazing. It has a mirage feel to it like you can actually see the water rippling. My daughter liked the blue more. Said it matches her aesthetic.
«It got to be a better way to say that» Just perfect delivery from Scott there 😂😂😂
Blue. I think a whole set in the rainbow colours would be pretty rad. Great woodworking as well. The skilz level is above and beyond expert!
OK I was skeptical about the blue but after seeing it on the wood it really deos look good I love the way it pops and almost looks wavy very good job on them both However! The walnut is more my style hands down that would be my pick
Blue honestly sent me through everything. I'm all for the walnut in my house but the blue one made me rethink my life for a minute.
Blue table is iconic, and your classic walnut will sell for more, but we all have that part of us which WANTS to have the quilted blue more... Great work as always!
that blue looks amazing. At first it scared me but once you got the entire table it was beautiful
maybe you should try out a "floating" acrylic waterfall table; where a wooden surface is supported by a "waterfall" that tapers inwards towards the middle and flows into a base--it would require some serious sculpting, but the result would be pretty insane.
With the grain of the wood and the blue dye, it makes the blue table look like it is made out of a piece of the ocean. Both tables look great, but i love the blue dye table. I like the texture you put on the bottom of both tables, if you were the make a table top with that texture and dye it blue, it would resemble water a lot i think. Ofcourse you would have to fill it with resin to make it flat. A lot of creativity is possible i think. Greetings from the Netherlands! Love your videos
The walnut table is inoffensive/safer but I imagine the places the blue table is going to work are going to be a lot more visibly interesting.
I can definitely see that blue table in a sleek modern house but for my family’s historical beach house in California (house was built in the 1800’s level of historical) the walnut one would complement the other furniture better but I’d love to see what you can do with a California Red Wood project maybe inspired by 1800’s Santa Cruz CA as a nod to the EMERALD QUEEN’S commitment (don’t know how to get KZhead to show my name instead of my handle so I’m just going to write my name in the comment itself)
thoughts on the blue, when it was still wet and showed the wood grain more it looked amazing. afterwards it was a little matt edit. ok in the end it actually looked good. but i would prefer the walnut one.
My partner and I have set our life goals to “buy a table from Cam” in order to know we’ve made it big. We love your work ethic, your art, humor, and humility. An evening with your channel feels like an evening with a very talented friend!

Blue might actually win, considering how unique it is, and the fact that it's all for charity. I'm also biased because that blue table is one I'd love to own 😆The way you sanded the top just enough so that the color of the natural wood peeks back through the blue was such a good idea. The way the grain kind of...wobbles? If that makes sense? makes it look like a still image from above of shallow water along a beach. Truly a wonderful bluejob (: 💙
Transparent red and black on walnut with Burch would look amazing.
Blue did turn out surprisingly nice but I'm a lover of natural color and grain. Brown will win in my opinion but WOW I'm pleasantly surprised by the blue. luv the fade idea. Wondering how dark to light natural colors would look. 👍
Cam, don’t sell yourself short, art is about perception. I took shop like 40 decades ago and haven’t built anything since. I can tell you that I find your ideas and creations inspiring.
Art is in the eyes of the beholder.
40 decades lol my guy must be at least a year old

I think both the brown and the blue have their charm, but you're right - as someone from the Midwest, I DO prefer natural wood finishes. I did wood shop as an elective all 4 years of high school and my teacher impressed on me the inherent beauty of the different woods without stain or heavy finishes. I DO think you should mix it up a bit, add some warm Cherry wood. 👍
Brown. I like the brown more, but I think that you did an amazing job on both of them. I think that for the right person the blue table would be really cool.
Brown, no question from me, however I started watching your videos during covid, I am from UK and loved your projects, I eventually bit the bullet in 2022 and brought myself, the very basic and tools i could afford. Here I am in 2023 I am yet to own anything Festool but working my way up. I do very small projects, which are mainly for friends and I do them at cost because I enjoy doing it. Thank you from me. Keep it up, Mike
Brown - I really thought I would hate the blue one, but I actually really like it. I am a natural wood color fan, and I still think the brown one will sell for more, but I hope I am wrong. I am glad the viewer questioned your color choices and that you rose to the challenge. The way the blue makes the maple grain pop is just incredible. Another phenomenal video.
Just when we need him - he comes! Thank you Cam for the quality and entertainment, you are becoming a true master of your craft and I hope you intend to continue for a long time!
Pretty humble carpenter! Pretty sure half of his viewers skill won’t stack up against this guy, but it refreshing to hear a down to earth and very amicable contents creator producing a kicka** product for a great cause like this! Kudos

I think both of the tables are awesome! In perspective I think both of the tables is going to fit in nicely in a home with the right decor. The time it took to make both of those tables was flawless and are more valued in how much you care about you’re viewers. Amazing job!
blue is such a stunning color! of course both tables are gorgeous but the deep vibrant blue at the base fading to almost the natural color of the wood is so cool. love that you can still see the wood grain through the stain, i think you're selling your own artistry and the appeal of stained wood short here.
people that sit and watch, are never disappointed by the process of creation.... its the journey to the result is what is fascinating. you got to be you and grow into your own... I cant wait to see when you realize that you are a master of today not the god of tomorrow.
