    I live in Tokyo, Japan. A few years ago ,on a whim, I took up a kintsugi class. We did it on broken bowls and other potteries. It's not as easy as it seems but it really worth every penny !

    Honestly, I had my doubts about: staining a live edge piece, staining walnut, kintsugi on such a large scale, the entire idea -- BUT the finished project is beautiful! I'd be proud to own this table. Good job sir!

    Beautiful. I think the kintsugi technique with the black stain really enhanced the natural beauty of the cookie. Staining the base the black gave it a cohesive look. Well done, I think you did a great job. I enjoy watching your channel because you're willing to try new things.

    It's beautiful! At first when you said you were going to stain it black I thought that was sacrilegious, but to see the finished product, the black stain brought out the natural brown colour and the gold leaf really sets it off, excellent!!

    Props for trying out the kintsugi technique on such a large piece. I've seen in before in bowls and pottery, first time I'm seeing it on furniture. This piece wasn't my cup of tea, but then again, I'm not about to buy a several thousand dollar table anyway. Thanks for the content and especially for showing us how you worked through the various problems and mistakes along the way, that is exceedingly helpful for the rest of us mere mortals.

    Jonny you’ve probably thought about this before, but if the CNC is your biggest surface, why not make 4-5x8 MDF or mellamine surface that you can lay on top of the cnc table to use for finishing/assembly or epoxy pours? I have to do this with my workstations in my small shop. The MDF is also much flatter than most stuff usually so it’s good for assembly too. Anyway just a thought. Best!

    kintsugi is the technique you're using but the philosophy it's meant to represent; Wabi-sabi. The wabi-sabi aesthetics is inspired by the world-view of finding beauty in the imperfect. That's why they put gold in the cracks of the pottery. It's meant to signify the beauty in the flaws of the bowl.

    Great job. Love this table and particularly love your honest dialogue. Question. How did you get that faded look on the gold lease s it runs towards the edge of the table. Also, do you need to seal the gold lease before flooding to stop flakes of gold from rising out of the cracks. Thanks, Al

    the stain is gorgeous, really brings out the character of the wood! I think the only thing that could be improved is the transition between the gold foil and black epoxy, there are some spots where you can see a repeated pattern caused by pressing the foil sheet down which is a small distraction. I think if you had mixed the gold foil with clear epoxy and used that, it would have created a more random application that you could mask off and feather out with more control. beautiful table overall!

    Just so you know you can get closer to the look you want by stopping your pour below the surface and do one of 2 things. 1. Por the two colors at the same time like poring 2 soups in a bowl at the same time (old school technique). Swirling is possible with that. The 2nd is stopping the pour below the surface fold or crunch gold in place... Pour clear on top and you should get the look with less aggravation. Hope this helps.

    using the pencil to check your sanding works fine, but try out powdered guide coat, they also have it in aerosol (I use mirka currently). A product dedicated for finding any imperfections through the sanding process. Not only good for sand scratches, but also checking for straightness or flatness. Another body mans tip! Hope this comment finds your eyes, let Cam know too!!

    Beautiful piece. I wonder how the gold-to-black transition would have worked if you had blended gold flake into the black filler epoxy? I hope this piece finds a home worthy of its aesthetic. And you’re right about Springsteen: while I find his musical talents over-rated, he is a good guy when it comes to the working class, standing up for what’s right, and treating everyone with equanimity.

    Love the table - personally though I think I would have gone with the gold branching outwards (kinda in a tree-effect) rather than tapering off, I think that would have added to the naturalistic feel of slab (trees within a tree?). That being said, I in no way have the technical ability to any of this or the creative vision to think of it in the first place!

    Staining the walnut base was a good call. A lot of folks have a lot of natural light in their dining rooms or wherever they park to gather. Over time the walnut will fade, much as cherry does after the initial photo-reactive darkening. The stain will prevent much of that. I think the gold leaf is great. I rarely stain wood, but when it works as a highlight rather than a mask, it works well, cuz as we all know, masks don't work 😏

    As far as whether or not to stain goes, commandments are a tricky thing. The whole point of a rule is to understand why and when it applies so that if you break it, you know that you did it on purpose and for good reason. In this case? This table is gorgeous, so it clearly worked out for the best!

    WOW!!!! That is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I'm glad you had to redo the top layers back down to the slab surface and stain again. The reason being is the 2nd stain wasn't as dark as the first stain and balanced out the colors better!!! The GOLD leaf really popped against that darker background that wouldn't have been as dark had you not stained it, BRAVO!!! Excellent choice!!!

    I have used a stirring tool that is shaped so it does not mix air bubbles into the liquid. The tool fits into an electric drill. I used mine to mix powdered clay and water to make a clay for casting - no bubbles! I bought mine in a shop that sells things to potters. It appears to me to be something you could use to mix epoxy.

    It's my first time viewing your channel, i'd like to say I'm jealous of the work area. Large work space and a cnc to level the piece makes it alot easier especially when pouring epoxy. Great work fixing your mistakes too. As for staining that burl and walnut. I don't think it would have matched if you didn't, and the gold leaf wouldn't have looked as good on a lighter piece of wood. But I do think you took away from the natural swirls and designs in the burl by staining it. I think I would have gone with black steel legs and just a clear epoxy coating with no stain to enhance the burl look. Sanded it, then polished it, then ceramic coated it just like you did. But to each his own yours came out very nice as well. I'm sure someone will love it and give it a nice home.

    Hey Jonny, a couple questions for ya, as I'm thinking about adding epoxy to my repertoire. Why the total boat epoxy? Does Rockler have an epoxy that you like? How stable is the table? I might have gone a little wider on the legs. And finally, no I am not a fan of staining walnut. Oak, maple and pine yes and even mahogany from time to time, but not walnut. The burl however looks good dark. Take care and nice job. Johnny in Texas
