    You know what makes Cam’s videos so much better than other woodworking videos? It’s the constant yap. I don’t think I could survive without it.
  • @darren9752
    Cam has cracked Youtube honestly. The thumbnails are always incredible, I've never not clicked on a Blacktail video the second i see the thumbnail
  • @JKISOK1
    This is fabulous and anybody who’s lucky enough to have this in their house should enjoy every moment of having it .
  • As a guitar player, I appreciate the color, the shape, the finish... the belly cut is a very nice touch. This desk is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, and I would absolutely put it in my house!!
  • @truenorth90
    This has to be one of the most genuine woodworking channels. No clickbait thumbnails or titles, honest and funny commentary, and also great woodworking content.
  • @HeeHeeMan11
    “That is more yellow than I was expecting” Hilarious jump cut to the table! Great editing and even greaterer table!
  • @danlaw8933
    Alright I’ve never made a YouTube comment before… But you’ve earned this one because you opened my mind. Normally I always prefer your standard walnut table look. They are truly stunning! That said the colors you mixed and the design on this is simply awesome! I would have never guessed I would love this table so much and certainly would never have tried something like that… Thank you for creating and sharing your processes with us!
  • Been subscribed for a long time now. Like since before the mammoth tusk which was an amazing project. You inspired me to start my own woodworking company. Started an LLC Bought damn near all the tool needed. My father gave me a DeWalt plainer. Made about 7 cutting boards. Then.. Disaster struck. Suffered a spine injury at my day job ( marine technician) Haven't touched my shop since and it's very hard to cope. I pray one day I can get back into it. Let alone walk again. Keep up the amazing videos. You inspired me And your videos keep my distracted from my never ending pain. Thank you . .

    Guitar builder here! When we're doing the multi coloring ("Bursts" as they're called) it's a lot easier to start with the darkest color. That way you can sand back the areas where lighter colors will go until you get the level of transparency you want. You can then put the next lightest color across the WHOLE piece, which will give you a much more consistent color gradient. This way, you don't really have to worry about blending the different layers as you had to here (the blending comes from the sanding step). Rinse and repeat for subsequent layers going from darkest to lightest.
  • @nicklarson8575
    I know he's been here a long time, but Scott is easily the best addition to this channel. His insights make you a better creator and I love his commentary.
  • @emilymccarthy1
    I’ve been watching you for a while. I can absolutely say that 99% of your pieces I would completely put in my home! Most are stunning! The fact that you are so incredibly meticulous with making them look flawless is awesome. I hope the new owner truly appreciates all your hard work.
  • @ndtealmusic
    Guitar guy here, and the son of a woodworker. I am 100% into this.
  • HAHAHA! The burn from the fill stick was hilarious. I love the interactions between Cam and Scott almost as much as the beautiful pieces that come out of Blacktail
  • @SIPATGaming
    Your original denim desk 100% gave me that feeling of " wow! I've never seen anything like that and I want that in my house" that was definitely your Holy Grail item for me.
  • @Jon-b9g
    Hey Cam! I have been a custom furniture maker for nearly 30 years and just happen to be working on some slab walnut projects. Just wanted to tell you I enjoy your videos and the pieces you create. Keep up he good work!
  • I just want to say to boost your confidence. I love all your videos and would be honored to have any one of your pieces in my home as a display piece. You pieces are art and beautiful and most importantly functional. I'd love to have one as a desk for my computer. Gorgeous. I'd bet you would be amazing to apprentice for.
  • @shootstuff_se
    I clicked the wrong icon and ended up on this channel a few years ago, and I'm hooked. Not only do you build amazing stuff, but the entertainment, humor and irony is 100 of 100.
  • @arussianspy3114
    Love that Cam casually dyes a beautiful pattern Into the wood, gets second thoughts, completely obliterates it, and repeats about 15 times.
  • @rzuczek1036
    definetely the last category, i love it, i never seen anything like it and i'd love it at my house
