Blacktail Studio

I have a bit of a build-off in my latest video (https://youtu.be/zMQp6dAXjuE) where I build both of these tables to see which one will raise more money at auction for Make a Wish. Let's see how accurate a poll is vs the results. Oh, check out the auction here: www.blacktailstudio.com/the-make-a-wish-auction

Tough choice! As a woodworker I’m down with walnut brown. But as a PRS fan and guitar player that blue top you out did yourself and it reminds me of PRS Custom Guitar colors. Good choice adding the teal to break up the blue.

I think the blue one has the potential to raise more money, but you have to find the right person for it. Dont think the bidding on your own site attracts that kind of person. Its a very "exclusive" item..

I really like both, but the walnut is just so epic

I so wish I had the money to bid on the blue one. I totally would! I hope you keep doing some of these colorful stained wood projects. I really like the way the wood grain shows through the blue and turquoise stains.

I didn't think I would love the blue as much as I do. But it's stunning. The different colour blues give it such beautiful depth. Stunning work. The plain is anything but ordinary though. Both amazing pieces, and thankyou for donating to such a worthy charity ..

Personally I think the walnut looks far better but the maple looks like it has potential. If there was a way to add more depth/different hues of blue or have the dye be more transient/ephemeral/iridescent along with a single or book matched piece for the top I could see both pieces being equally desirable. Both look great and I really love that texturing you did on the bottom. Nice stuff 👍

That blue is just exquisite. I love your walnut army but you sure can make bold colour work too.

The original one is the best in my opinion as a piece of furniture. The blue one is more of an art piece. Since people spend crazy amounts on art, I think the blue one might actually go for more money. But great pieces though!

There will be higher demand for option 2 but if there are just 2 ppl in the entire world who really need a blue maple top table there could be an epic bidding war as its a rare piece.

Love your stuff, I appreciate when you do take the time showing your screwups. Too often people are given the impression that you can’t make mistakes and that’s how you learn. You do great work!

I enjoy watching you work, mistakes and all! You don't give yourself enought credit. You have great courage building such large projects. Those Dollar amounts would have me a nervous wreck. I love both tables ! Both have beautiful finishes. I would take the Walnut table also! Blue one goes to the Museum. A classic!

My 2cents, when you spend time and effort making cuts align perfectly and joints tight to almost invisible it takes something away to cover it in colour concealing the hard work underneath

I LOVE the blue!!! It’s so unique! The other one is beautiful, but the blue stands out so much. It is very eye-catching.

It's all about the grain! I love walnut but my favorite color is blue. Love your work. I enjoy your creativity and skill.

@SWA-Projects

I’ve always been trying to find a way to use other colors besides the natural light / brown ones to fit with wood, and always found that they look weird, until now. You managed to actually color wood so that it looks good, yeah I saw the video earlier today. I just can’t decide because I like them both.

The blue one is an artistic style vibe. The walnut is something that can fit in most rooms, of course, with a decorative vibe as well.

Funny, I grew up in New York and you nailed it in the video that it would look great in a studio art gallery apartment!

I think the blue will raise more but solely because its your only blue Item you made and someone sees it as gathering item
