Carving 9 Gallons of Epoxy & Wood Into a 🦢

[@BMSculptures]

Buffalo, Bull or Horse!!!????

[@Donuts_random_stuff]

Bull Bulls are beautiful and powerful animals And under appreciated, especially in Spanish culture where they get abused and killed just for the entertainment of people 😢

[@leafjerky]

Well you have already done some version of a buffalo so I go with bull

[@MapleJames76]

Ho man, ummmmmmmm, raccoon !! The national animal of Canada !! :)

[@Donuts_random_stuff]

@@MapleJames76I love raccoons 🦝

[@Jimmyandtony]

Buffalo

[@Aramarth]

I think the bull fits better for an "not natural pattern" than a buffalo

[@BMSculptures]

Love it. I like that.

[@redman9pablo]

Yes definitely a bull 🐂

[@pavloszimbrakos4410]

@@BMSculptures Horse but I still want to see you carve my favorite animal an elephant lol 😂

[@joshhunsberger1413]

I fel like the Buffalo would of came out better with that patern

[@Just_Smile-n2w]

This sculpture is phenomenal. I know you did a bison of tires and a horse head of wood and epoxy, but I would love to see a full-size HORSE! That Buckeye burl makes the most spectacular art pieces ❤

[@jeandrenth4949]

Hey Blake, with that pattern I would choose the horse. The bull or buffalo would require a more “aggressive” pattern…I think. If I could I would have living room full of your sculptures. Very nice work! Thanks. Steve.

[@BMSculptures]

Great suggestion!

[@Koopa476]

Yes, horse all the way

[@sonnyjs15]

Bronco* 😊

[@Plant_DaddE]

exactly what i was thinking!

[@danieljacobson74]

Turning Scrap Wood Into $12,000... after having spend several thousand on tools, equipment, my time, shop space, miscellaneous safety equipment. I made a whole $473.00 on this project after all was said and done. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

What an incerdible result! That Swan has such a calm and graceful spirit to it.

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks Jonas! I'm just trying to draw inspiration from your work 👌

[@davedyson4730]

Absolutely world class. No one even comes close.

[@kayejaye261]

Bull. Great vid. Swan is amazing. Your sculptures are beautiful. Thx for sharing.

[@BMSculptures]

THanks for watching and supporting!

[@onionhead5780]

I think a sea turtle would be cool. The turtle shell has a design to them that could be made using or gluing different wood grains together I think. Making even one of those huge old tortoises would be cool as well. 🐢

[@BMSculptures]

I have done one before! check out my video of it

[@nickrenshaw4733]

Definitely got to go for the horse Blake! An elegant animal for an elegant piece of wood.

[@alexguerra6135]

Can I just take a few minutes here to say how proud I am of you Blake? I mean, literally what 2 years ago if even that, you were a new KZbinr making tire sculptures and custom patio furniture without a clue on what the viewers like in terms of editing. And now of days you have found your style of not only videos but art. You continue your occasional tire sculptures which I’m all for, however the epoxy/wood sculptures are amazing, unique, and take an unbelievably amount of time and talent and skill. It’s YOUR style Blake it belongs to YOU. I would love to see you try dyed epoxy next!! Like a tortoise with a wooden shell and green epoxy limbs or something like that! I really enjoy your editing style, a good amount of commentary, explanations, and also background music with time lapses, close ups, the whole 9 yards of professional KZbin videos. Absolutely killing it man, I’m very proud that you’ve found your style in both video creating/ editing, and art. The cutting boards are stunning too man! So unique and mesmerizing. As for the animal of choice… imma say buffalo. I think it’s the most challenging. You’ve done a bull already with the tires, idk that you’ve done a horse but it seems basic, however a buffalo with lots of fur would be a real good challenge with an amazing result. Can’t wait man! Till next time !

[@BMSculptures]

Thank you so much Alex. You have been one of my early day viewers and I cannot thank you enough for sticking around. I am so glad you are taking this KZbin journey with me!

[@jamiewilson9262]

This is the kindest post, Alex!

[@ericscottfitzgerald6490]

The wood choice for the beak was really nice. Beautiful piece overall. I think the endgrain pattern works best on the bull.

[@BMSculptures]

So far it is winning in votes!

[@jamiewilson9262]

Agree!

[@MakewithMatt]

This swan turned out very beautiful and elegant. Another masterpiece to your catalogue! I think the horse or buffalo for that pattern but leaning more towards horse because of how dainty the pattern is and seems more appropriate for an animal of similar nature. Cheers!

[@BMSculptures]

Thank you so much!

[@SteffiSpranklesNBelle]

This turned out beautiful. I really love that you did the eyes and beak in wood!

[@MargaretGeorgemgse]

I love the way you just 'take it for granted' that your resin will come out crystal clear with no bubbles. Such skill!

[@BMSculptures]

If you have seen some of my previous videos you will see the progression. I have made MANY MANY mistakes in the past.

[@danyalgundi217]

I wish, I had all your sculptures in one big room with light 💡 to watch all time.

[@FranWhitten]

The SWAN was perfect! But you put so much heart into your work, how could it not be perfect. Keep up the great work. Adorable children by the way. God Bless! Horse would be my choice also.

[@khbrown69]

Gorgeous work as always. It's amazing how much the little details matter. I think the wooden eye makes a huge difference. I"m always amazed at the precision and quality of your work. Well done!

[@BMSculptures]

Thank you!

[@microchrist6122]

This one might be my favorite yet!

[@timfolland420]

Absolutely beautiful work as always! I gotta say, specifically a long horn bull! That would be an awesome challenge to tackle!

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks for the idea!

[@LadyJayne111]

Blake. I think this is the most beautiful sculpture yet. You do amazing work.

[@barbaraschiavone7191]

The swan is wonderful and it looks so realistic I just can’t even believe your doing this. I love it❤

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks Barbara. Glad you like it!

[@francinejenkins6960]

Stunning! Honestly it’s difficult to describe how beautiful this is. You must feel so proud and satisfied with your pieces when they are completed. I’d love to see a full sized horse. ❤

[@chandarussell]

Wow. Beautiful piece. It’s so graceful and flowing. I love the long neck, you’d never know it was cast separately. I’d love to see a full horse sculpture.

[@M1uzzz_]

Great swan sculpture! Looks lovely. I'd really love to see a horse next time!

[@michellesutton202]

I think your sculptures are amazing, if you were to use the design you showed I think a horse would be so stunning. Because of the design in the wood, and then the shapes, that would be highlighted in the muscular structures of the horse.

[@cduff4505]

Stunning swan! I always enjoy watching your sculptures come to life, they are amazing. I vote for a HORSE!

[@andreacrashe9894]

*WOW.... that swan is amazing.... I guess packing it and shipping it cost the new owner a fortune too. I hope they are really appreciating what went into making this statue. 🙂.*

[@BMSculptures]

I expect it to cost quite a bit. Waiting to receive the quote.

[@thejudgemeister]

Another beautiful work of art. I love how you take an otherwise discarded mass of wood and turn it into a one of a kind masterpiece, revealing the natural beauty of it.

[@BMSculptures]

Thank you so much 😀

[@sherrypitt9889]

Hi Blake! Are you freaking kidding me! This is amazing. The neck is so so stunning. It’s seamless. It looks like one pour. Genius! Thank you Blake

[@jennym.2268]

I think the horse would look fantastic in the end grain block carving. Great job this project!

[@dottiemizenichols7785]

My vote is the Buffalo.

[@FIZZGIG-RARF]

You could turn those tiny off-cuts into coasters too. People LOVE their handmade coasters.. heck, I would love some from you!❤❤❤

[@dondeverell2331]

Never, I'm never disappointed with your work. Thankfully, your baseball career afforded you the financial opportunity to pursue your other passion of mixed mediums into truly artistic works. They're all beautiful. My vote on your next piece. Buffalo 🦬 Americana, strength, resilience. I'm already looking forward to your next endeavor. Keep those kids working!

[@kirillmifodiy1809]

The visible seam in the neck is such a bummer. Great job on the rest though!

[@BMSculptures]

when pouring in layers there is just no way around it unfortunately

[@candacelytle9113]

Absolutely Stunning !

[@judestewart3955]

The swan is beautiful-I love the colours in the beak. I’d like o see the horse in the next sculpture if possible.

[@kyngnick8723]

Choose the BULL.

[@jaydee5447]

Absolutely gorgeous! Just insane talent. Everything is so beautifully done. I don’t know if you’re just a natural with this art but you sure make it look as if you are. Thank you for posting.

[@ruddy19]

Suggestion here: i think you could add a sort of handle to the cutting boards to make it easier to hold and carry and hang 🙏🏼

[@5809AUJG]

Superlatively lovely swan sculpture...graceful, almost ethereal.....marvelous work!

[@mikisisay-k3s]

bless those gifted brain and hands , we are lucky to have you

[@TotalBoat]

We are absolutely blown away by this! Incredible work, this swan is STUNNING!

[@bimankoongalage]

The sculpture stands as a testament to the sheer brilliance and artistic mastery of its creator. Every chisel mark seems to breathe life into the wood, rendering it a sublime work of art that transcends the boundaries of the medium. It is a masterpiece that not only celebrates your profound talents Blake ,but also enriches the world of art with its captivating presence. Keep it up mate.

[@BMSculptures]

I dont know about all that, I'm just trying to carve the best I can and learn along the way. Thank you for following along and supporting my work!

[@beatamichalska6220]

Exactly

[@victoriaoberhauser4194]

I think the horse sculpture would look SO COOL witht hat kind of pattern! It would look really majestic in my opinion

[@valeriebeasley2011]

I just happened upon your video and I am blown away! So beautiful - the buyer is so lucky.

[@yoannchemin700]

je suis Français et j'adore ce que tu fais !!!! continue tu es un artiste !! respect !!

[@danielmolenda2073]

When you were showing the options, I thought the horse was the best because of the colors and design that you’re going to use on the sculpture and you’re amazing at what you do❤🎉😊.

[@kellywilkins8043]

Taiwan will absolutely love this Swan!! Truly beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@mspenny]

That sculpture is gorgeous.. The horse would look good in that pattern.

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks MsPenny!

[@melissataylor5977]

Horse 🐎 And Swan is gorgeous the detail you do on this is amazing I do nothing at this caliber I could never compete with anything like this of course I don't do sculptures but I'm talking about artwork. You are amazing. Oh and you're cutting boards are aboveboard

[@Mark-EFMB-Combat-Medic]

Words cannot describe how talented you are.

[@jmnecheles2729]

The bull for sure! Looks like it will be awesome inside the design you are looking at.

[@hanrickbarnard4424]

So Amazing! WoW! In another video you asked for sculpture suggestions. I have a few... 1. A boat on the rough seas 2. A bear standing upright on a rock 3. A Fern 4. An Octopus 5. A Waterscape 6. Platonic Solids of beautiful wood suspended in the resin 7. A school of fish under the surface of waving water Your work is so beautiful! ❤

I loved the bison you did out of tires so I’d vote for another bison.

[@willflan7592]

Absolutely incredible work!!!!

[@Falconverse2023]

As always this was a gorgeous sculpture! and I would like to see the horse for the afore mentioned project!

[@samwyz69]

Your work is exquisite! You are very talented! I love your cutting boards too! It must be fun making all those patterns.

[@anilbeginnerartist]

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks!

[@SD_sculpture_Khmer]

Recognizing that professional workers are different, everything they do is beautiful and wonderful❤

[@organicgal7751]

Buffalo would be my pick. Don't see many of them. Amazing job on the swan!! Awesome!

[@mikehall8036]

Amazing! Watching you bring the different ingredients together and shaping them into such beautiful art is nothing short of amazing.

[@jamiewilson9262]

Gorgeous Swan!

[@David-uz9qw]

Absolutely magnificent. I like it more than your other swan for sure. What a Masterpiece

[@davidbuffington9644]

I think all three would look spectacular, however the contrast with the Bull would be the best fit.

[@dragonslayersgifts]

would love to see you do the horse, great work on the swan love the colours of the wood coming through

[@jaffaballymakeery746]

Outstanding end result. Perfect.

[@fuchsfarben]

I would love to see the bull in that particular pattern, it fits well. Also, what an adorable sponsored section haha :D The changes to the new swan are really pretty, especially the wooden eyes look fantastic!

[@BMSculptures]

I think that could be a great idea!

Oh men it turn out very beautiful, as always.

[@CooperBauer-je2dh]

I would love to see some sort of buffalo, even if it isn't end grain. With your skill, it would look amazing. Keep up the amazing work Blake!

[@talllanky1]

Always LOVED Buckeye Burl. Such amazing grain. Have some pieces myself that I stabilized and am just waiting for the perfect piece for them.

[@AmandaLeigh1004]

This bird is stunning! I particularly love the way the burl looks on the swan's back and how you did the eyes.

[@christmasbian4146]

another swan,it's so beautiful and still be a great job.

[@talllanky1]

I like how the swan came out the beak looks really cool almost like it has gold leaf in it. Hard to decide which one is better
