I suspect that you have two types of viewers: those who enjoy the artistic aspects of what you do, and those who enjoy the process. I fall into the latter category, and absolutely loved seeing how you did the inlays. Great work!

I think "Glitch table" would be a good name; looking at this table it's like certain pieces aren't rendering right, with the grain going sideways or being the wrong color. I love it.

I know why people hate this! I live in a cheap apartment and this looks like my bathroom door, which has patches on it to cover up where the drunks that lived here before me kicked or punched in holes. It cheapens the appearance! Fine, whole, solid wood with its natural grain and unsullied beauty is always more pleasing to the eye. You do lovely work and I always appreciate how you let other peoples creativity inspire yours (I also love your not-so-subtle-humor), so my vote is to always keep doing what inspires YOU. It all turns out amazing!

Your 10 minute deadpan bit about how sometimes a top needs filling had me in stitches. Reminds me of the time I was at a job site meeting, and the GC and the plumber were arguing about the piping for the sprinkler system, because they had a problem with the test tees. Apparently the plumber put his test tees too low, and he was arguing that they might have been low but it shouldn't have been an issue. Nobody laughed besides me, I thought I was going insane.

I’ve been watching for this last year with my girlfriend. We try and put a blacktail studios video on before we go to bed at least once a week. I love watching for the craftsmanship, she always falls asleep before me because your narrating is “hypnotizing.” Thank you for being the happy balance for us. We both get something out of your videos.

I wish I was 50 years younger and happened to find a teacher like you in a wood shop! I love, as does my husband, you videos. Have yet to watch one that doesn’t amaze me. Your sense of humor is up there too!

Patch...I'm a nature photographer as well as a woodworker. One thing I've learned over the years is you can't please everybody. So, you please some people and let the others find something else that they DO like. At any rate, they're not wrong anymore than they're right. It's all perception. I think the table is beautiful and creative. Good job!

I have been binge watching U! OMG! I’m 66, female. I have never watch anyone do the work Ur doing. I know my Grandpa made furniture for the banks, during the depression. When I was old enough to appreciate what he did. I was around 10 yrs old. Wish I would have paid more attention. The tools U have (hand) are to die for. I could only dream. I love all the show. Never boring. U do make me laugh. Which is really a hard thing for me. Ty Janette

Patch or no patch, one still has to admire the craftsmanship and time that went into making this table. I'll admit it's not my personal style, but that doesn't make it any less incredible. Great work!

I think the best way to get the patchwork thing to be really clean is to lean into the contrast. Like if you tried using darker woods and pairing it with maple pieces too. Then you could have three distinct colors between the table and the patches.

I've been woodworking since I was 14 and I'm still trying to find my niche. I love the fact that you are so open with your processes, tangible, mental, and emotional. I'm really struggling to come up with "what to do" from one project to the next. I've been doing cutting boards, sold a few given away more as gifts. Your videos are very uplifting for someone who aspires to make woodworking almost a way of life. Thank you and I'll keep watching. By the way I think the patchwork is excellent! Anything that makes a person ask you "how did you come up with that" is validation of a job well done.

A year later, I'm sure my comments don't carry much weight. I've recently come across your videos and have really enjoyed them, but I can't understand why you made patchwork out of such a beautiful table. I know, different strokes for different folks. I love your commentary throughout your videos and the fact that you share your failures as well. So many can learn from your mistakes. Will be watching more in the future!

Patch or no Patch. I think it would be cool if the patches were in a darker wood to make them stand out even more. It looks nice the way you did it, but maybe try to keep the grain of the wood in mind as you cut, so it's parallel to the cut. Somtimes it looks like your patches are not parallel to each other.

No patch. I really like how you listen to peoples opinions and continue on with the artist mindset that you are comfortable with. I continue to learn with each video I watch. Thank you for sharing your skills with us here.

I love those big natural tops too.
I love these augmented tops. 
I don’t gravitate towards the tiny tops that much."

The patch work is the most respectful use of old flawed wood pieces.

Patch. I absolutely in love with this table. I’d call it the quilted table. It’s so unique, and I really like the contrast of the shape patch corners, and the rounded legs and table edges. Well done!

Patch: I thought I'd hate it, but did my best to keep an open mind and you won me over! I thinking blending the "stain" to help the colors balance was the perfect move, your risk paid a reward IMO! I'm sure it'll go for much more than $1!

You motivated me to make my own desk. I did awful but it's motivated me to get much better lol. Thank you!

I think the inlays being perpendicular with slightly contrasting colors and figure, turned out very nice. The real reward comes when you hit it with that finish. I might have added in some varying sized round plugs of shell flame or fiddleback maple. I’d mix circles and squares and maybe overlap them randomly. A lot of one-of a-kind potential for sure. 👍🏻
