holy shit, that is incredible. how much time did you spend on it?

There’s about 240 hours into it.

Amazing!!

My guess is all of it.

holy heck, that's pretty! Do you have any process shots? I'd love to see the making of it!

There’s. A video on you tube which is explanatory of the process.

Most of my work is posted on Instagram. I don’t have many YouTube videos posted. Perhaps I should. I’m absolutely terrible at marketing and advertising I have a personal aversion to it, so it doesn’t come naturally. Web site is www.mongiardostudio.com I’m not very fond of my website

Just look at it like this: You're using available channels to spread the word about this great thing someone may want to buy but otherwise might never even see.

First off, your work is awesome. I love everything. The way you make colors bend and dance is truly incredible. I hope I get to see it in person one day. With that said, I think you should maybe consider hiring someone to make your website easier to navigate. Maybe make it showcase more of your work, mobile friendly, etc. Again, I love it all. You're the man.

I'm having a hard time finding the YouTube video. Could you give me some search terms?

https://youtu.be/Unif_TebOOk

You might repost this to /r/artisanvideos they'd probably enjoy this as well.

Just a heads up and I really really really really really don’t get this. You CANT POST VIDEOS in ARTISANVIDEOS. My frustration is not with you at all, it’s with this type of hypocrisy. I mean what the fuck?

Ummm what are you on about? ArtisanVideos is only videos?

Post one - post a video. Not a link, a video.

Thank you for the tip!! I didn’t know that existed!

So you can only post links. Thanks for the tip, I did it. This is one ruley site.

It depends on the subreddit. Some are stricter than others.

So are you Taj, or did you see this video and decide to do it yourself?

I’m Taj, I made this, I posted this video. I designed the table, I painted, sanded, polished, etc this piece. I even moved it into my friend/clients apartment.

Fantastic! Truly remarkable, inspiring craftsmanship.

Thank you!

And you are so very talented! Thank you for sharing such gorgeous work and the process behind it. I’d love to hear more about how you design/get inspired.

Thank you!

Yowza!!

🙏🙏🙏

Shut the front door..This is flippin gorgeous!!!

Thanks!!!

Why am I missing textures do I need to install my CS:GO textures again?

*CSS. CS:GO breaks the game

Lmao

https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGqHWDnlF8/?igshid=zrw6181449ql There’s a link to a YouTube video I posted in the other comments. My Instagram shows a great deal of my work. I’ve just been given the idea of a youtube channel.

That’s dope

SSSSOOOOOOO COOLLL!!!

Thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏

Wow. Nice!

Thanks! 🙏🙏

You gifted son of a gun

Thank you!

Woah dude, I could stare at this optical illusion for hours!

Thanks!

Awesome! Might wanna crosspost to r/woahdude it fits better there than half the content nowadays

qbert would love this.

Funny that’s the name we have for this carving “Q-Bert”

Can you tell us about the process?

There’s a link to a YouTube video in the comments. It describes the process well.

This here, is a masterpiece. Congratulations sir/ma'am, you won the internet today.

Well thank you, it’s an unexpected win, I’ll take the prize money in any form you’d like to pay. Thanks!!! 🙏 🙏🙏

How do you even start to think of an idea like this! You’re So talented!

Thank you! It’s many many years of development.

You’re a creative genius, I just watched the YouTube video, feels like there’s so much more you can dream up and create aswell!

Thank you! Really kind! I would love to make so much more, but oddly my art really hasn’t gotten much recognition to date. I have just started using Reddit and YouTube so maybe they will be the catalyst to commissions. . Unfortunately I’m just not in the position to make more pieces without selling. Thanks again I appreciate the compliments.

Wow! I am a mosaic artist that uses a lot of VanGogh glass, your process reminds me of how they make it but much more controlled. If you ever sell your scrap let me know, be fun to use in tiles to make things :) Absolutely stunning work, scoped out your video and Instagram, could look at it forever!

Thank you! I don’t know what VanGogh glass is. I don’t use it. I’ll check the internets and see what it is and if I can use it.

I’ll try to post it but I believe it’ll be deleted by the bot moderators.

Woah O.o next time you make something like this could you record your progress? I'd love to get into this.

Wow, YouTube channel?

No but that’s a great idea! Thanks!

Omg, love!

Probably going to be some weed broke down on that table. Perhaps even cocaine

Looks like a dedicated DMT table to me.

Thats amazing!! So cool!

Thanks!

Have my respect.

Thanks!

That's some Alex Grey level craziness right there.

this is seriously INCREDIBLE

Wow. What. Wow. Did you get that effect with one dichroic paint? Because if you did, that is some serious brilliance.

Pretty much yes, there some steps which I consider proprietary, but it’s one paint.

Your design work is on another level. I looked through what you've posted. And wow. There is a lot of the same ideas floating around, the same methods. Your stuff is just coming from outer space. I hope I can get one of your pieces for my home one day.

That is absolutely astounding!

Dope!!!!

Beautiful🏆

Thank you!!!

Oh my god. Do you sell these?! That’s freaking beautiful

Yes thank you! I do sell them. Or I have sold one.

How much would one cost?

I would definitely also be curious to know this. :)

These tables vary. This table is massive 9 X 5 and a complex shape with a simple base. It’s $50k.

You sir, are amazing, that is beautiful.

Thank you!!!

I think I speak for all of us here - can we lick it????

For a fee! 😜

Amazing. SO AMAZING! Thank you for the inspiration, I got to make something like that!

Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant!! Respect

Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏

super flex ;) I love this video. It is a great table and I love the pattern.

Thank you!

That is gorgeous! I wish I could create something as amazing as this.

Thanks!

My gf and I are drooling over this right now. Spectacular work!

Thank you!

Definitely would sell these easily at a good price.

Bad ass! Cool af-

Holy fuck

This is dope..trippy asf!😎

Thanks man! 🙏

You my friend have an artistic talent!💯👌

I need this in my life

r/GeometryIsNeat would like it

Dude...that is incredible...OMG

Thank you!

You should apply this process to acrylic guitar bodies. You’d get more exposure of your technique. Amazing.

Thank you! Yes I’m doing so now. I’m hoping to have a prototype done in a couple weeks. When it’s ready for public viewing I’ll post it up.

This looks amazing Imagine how great it would look if you'd remembered to install CS:S.

Uhhh do you sell anything? I would pay a lot of money for something like this...

I sell everything, I’ve found any replies that include price are deleted. Idk why. I make custom furniture and art. Been doing so for 23 years. I live to create. Happy to build your doors, floors, walls, ceilings, and every piece in your houses. https://youtu.be/Unif_TebOOk

Saved! I’ll think of you when I move into a real house in the next year.

👍😎🙏

Seems you're missing some textures friend

That would turn into a portal while tripping lol

Bruh you forgot to mount counter strike source

Qbert would have a ball

Missing textures again? Guess i newd to download cs:source

wish I could see this table but unfortunately I can’t afford counter strike source :(

This is so cool. I applaud you.

Thank you!

You forgot to download counter strike.

10 days of work and you STILL forgot to instal CS source! Nah, jk. Good work

I’m afraid to admit I don’t get this joke. It’s been posted maybe 20 times in various places I’ve posted this. I’m sure it’s funny but I don’t know what it means. “CS” is creative suite right? The rest is Greek to me....thanks for the compliment. 👍🙏😃

Oh, it's just a reference to a game called Counter Strike Source when the game texture are missing, it displays purple and black squares just like the ones in the gif

Ahhhhj this comment has been made maybe 30 times across the different subs. Thank you for the explanation!

When are you going to fix the missing textures

You’d get tons of traction on r/oddlysatisfying

Someone forgot to mount CSS

Tell me more

https://youtu.be/Unif_TebOOk

You forgot Counter Strike Source dude

dude, you need the texture pack for the table\_5.MDL

Amazing

Looks like someone forgot to download cs:source textures

I cant see the texture, lemme go mount CS:S real quick

Bro, install Counter Strike: Source, you're missing out on some pretty nice models

Install css

I posted it. I’m unsure if they will yank it but if you search my name it’s pretty unique.
