What a master piece. Thanks for all the photos of this project. Will be watching to see your next build. bg

Jeff · November 23, 2016, 09:36:35 AM

Okay, we're ready to watch the next build!

Spectacular as all ways

scsmith42 · November 23, 2016, 05:39:10 PM

Spectacular, as always.

Do you have any pix of the construction techniques on the mantle/safe? I would be interested in learning more about it.

I sure can blog the nest hollow mantle that comes up ! I build quite a few a year. Everyone have a safe healthy Thanksgiving. Rob

YellowHammer · November 23, 2016, 11:23:56 PM

Most impressive!! Truly a work of art and skill!

21incher · November 24, 2016, 12:35:55 PM

That just came out amazing. I hope you got it to them in time for Thanksgiving. ;D Can't wait to see the next one.

Do you have the finish on all sides of the top? Is the bottom sealed?

tule peak timber · November 27, 2016, 09:11:06 AM

Yes , all sides have the same finishing schedule. The top gets a lot more attention to make sure that it is perfect, but everything is thoroughly sealed.

Me three. The way you build with word??

WDH · January 15, 2017, 07:41:52 AM

GET CRACKIN' ;D.

reedco · January 15, 2017, 11:39:17 AM

WOW!! I would not know where to start. Retail wants to take 1/2 and all they have is a roof and a phone.

tule peak timber · January 15, 2017, 01:31:34 PM

The big walnut table is leaving tomorrow morning along with a walnut chest of drawers. The next batch of tables start on Tuesday. I will start a "hollow mantle " thread next week. Cheers Rob

He is a nice looking tom

Oh yea nice table too

The chest of drawers that goes with it tomorrow. Rob

21incher · January 15, 2017, 06:53:52 PM

A couple more amazing pieces of art out your door. Looking forward to the mantle thread. 8) 8)

scsmith42 · January 17, 2017, 06:21:09 PM

Looking forward to the mantle thread.

On a side note, Rob do you know of any flexible material that could be used to fill surface checks on a large oak beam that already has been treated with a tung oil finish? The beam is still green and will be drying for the next several years. It's going to be used as a seating bench in a public area.

I'm concerned about splinters developing at the edges of the checks. I'm not sure that epoxy would be a good answer because it may pull away over time as the beam continues to dry. Any suggestions?

Thx.

tule peak timber · January 17, 2017, 06:52:42 PM

Hi SC, You are correct that epoxy is the wrong material. 3-M 5200 comes to mind first and you might look at boat deck caulking , like butal rubber. Then there are the post catalyzed urethane's . When we produce something like your bench we use small dental burrs and completely eat out-smooth out all cracks . Sometimes this takes more than a few days of labor but we don't depend on any filler that may future fail. hope this helps Rob

69bronco · January 17, 2017, 09:12:19 PM

Has anyone tried g-flex or similar?

tule peak timber · January 17, 2017, 10:03:40 PM

I have not tried G-flex. I will try to find the data sheet from Gugeon brothers for a look at the shore-d ratings. I have used an epoxy system called Shell Epon , and they have a hardener that will make their epoxy like stiff rubber. Pretty obscure stuff.....You can also research post catalyzed silicon rubber put out by Dow corning , I have experience with this stuff also. I can also give you the contact info of a company I use, that will customize epoxy to your specific needs. Then there are the guys in Texas.... All specialized chemicals..... Rob

Larry · January 17, 2017, 10:16:16 PM

I use a lot of G-Flex and thinks its a great product. That was my first thought when SC asked, but after thinking a bit it won't do what he wants. Too much movement IMO and I'm not sure how good of bond can be obtained with green wood that's had tung oil on it.

One of the great things about quality products, especially West Systems is one can call and usually ask an engineer about how the product will perform.
