Love the longer format Tay! Get to see and know you better and your AMAZING talent with a chainsaw! The barred owl turned out beautiful and loved the coloring. You and Nami are the cutest pair I swear! Thanks so much for sharing the details into caving a owl! I loved it so much! Woohoo! 🫶🏻😊

Well done, looking forward to the red tail hawk.

[@kumiejoubert-vanniekerk8794]

Your process looks much more secure and refined. You look relaxed and as if you are enjoying yourself. As always, the detail on your sculptures is exquisite and we feel privileged to share the creation process with you. Thank you for making these videos. I am sure I am but one of a few hundred who wish we could be in your shoes and do what you do... Please make shorts showing all the beautiful sculptures we glimpse in the back. The tracks look like Fisher or Ground Squirrel... Your dog should be paid well for being a photoshoot extra! He is such a handsome extra!

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you for the kind words! I truly am enjoying myself when I carve, I’m glad it comes off that way! I especially enjoy the detail process! Nami, my dog, gets paid in venison on top of her kibble! I think she agrees it’s a fair reimbursement for her time and cuteness hahaha! 😂🫶🏼

sweet owl it's so cool, you always add cool things to the base, love it. Watching you carve is like taking kids to a fireworks show, it keeps getting better and all of a sudden it's over. thanks Tay.

[@TayMarie23]

I love carving the bases!

[@ProfessorDraekko]

Very very nice owl! Great job!

[@RufusRustics]

Grey squirrel tracks. Beautiful job with this owl.

[@TayMarie23]

I did more research after I made this video and I think you are totally correct! I never see squirrels around here so it didn’t even pop in my mind as a culprit lol! Thank you Sir 🫶🏼

[@RufusRustics]

How do the Whisper series burrs handle gumming up? I carve mostly white pine, and it can really gum up the cheapo Harbor Frieght diamond burrs, and even my 1/8 shank Kutzall extreme flame burr. Would love a more detailed finish burr.

[@TayMarie23]

They have performed much better than I was expecting, I highly recommend them and the green coarse burrs from saburrtooth! I have only cleaned the whispers once and I almost exclusively carve white pine, and they clean super easy because they are so fine. With the white pine try to avoid using the 2” of exterior sap wood when possible. Or at least try to keep detailed areas like the face out of the sap wood zone, will really help with build up on your burrs!

Your work is so amazing keep up the amazing work

[@Ray_Steinhart]

Saber tooth and Kutzall didn’t think there was a need for very fine burrs. They are selling more than they thought they would. I love your cavings. You look like you’re having so much fun.

[@TayMarie23]

Im always having a good time when carving! I was actually surprised at how much material the fine burr could remove, I mean nothing compared to the coarse but still quite a bit! It got caked up after awhile but I was also carving wet sticky pine, few swipes of the steel brush gets them clean in seconds though. Definitely a great product 👍🏻

Beautiful carving. Thanks for videoing it. I'm really new to carving and I learn alot from your videos.

[@TayMarie23]

Glad to hear! Sometimes the best way to learn is though observation 👀😁

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Jim from Keegan Timber sent me a link to this video. You are an incredibly gifted artist!! This owl looks so real, I am expecting it to fly away!! I think Jim forwarded you my 'wild baloney' video. I can carve a bologna, but I would need a knife!! That would be it for me!! This carving is very very nice. Thanks for sharing your talents and take 'er easy!!

[@keegantimber8571]

Yep Tay. Great work again and hi Nami! You got a scar on your nose Nami! I tried to comment many times and left a link to Mikes video at Grampies Workshop for help in you identifying those critter tracks…all in good fun….My comment kept disappearing?? Maybe I violated some policy rule?? Anyways thanks for sharing your work and tips of course!! 👍👍👍

[@TayMarie23]

@keegantimber8571 That’s annoying! I just checked my “comments held for review” and I didn’t have any! Sometimes I can see more on my computer then on my phone, I’ll check later today! KZbin will hide the weirdest stuff. Sometimes I’ll check on the computer and have 10 super nice comments that KZbin removed, quite annoying 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you so much! I guess Jim tried to send me the link several times but KZbin kept removing his comment 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ll have to check out your wild Baloney video, sounds like a good watch 😂🫶🏼

[@kjirstenboucher9682]

Love how your own turned out. I really like how you try to keep the poses interesting as well as your bases. I started Dremel carving last year and I love it so much, but I definitely want to make bigger pieces. So I finally bit the bullet. I bought a Skill MSA 70. No carving bars yet, but that will happen. I got an extra battery with a speed charger though. Also sprung for a Makita die grinder and a handful of Kutzall bits for it. Still waiting for the chainsaw and the die grinder. I had to cut down six trees on our property, so when they get here, I will have a lot to practice on. I also have an airbrush that was given to me, so I'll have to learn that too.Thanks for all your inspiring videos.😊

[@TayMarie23]

Oh perfect, sounds like you have everything and more to get started! Make sure you have chainsaw chaps! I hope you enjoy it, just take your time and start with something simple like trees and mushrooms to learn the basics!

[@kjirstenboucher9682]

@@TayMarie23 Oh, thank you. Definitely will be picking up chainsaw chaps when I pick up my chainsaw. My neighbor is going to teach me safe handling and maintenance and care for the saw as well. Great plan, I will start with simple for sure. Thanks for the advice.😊❤️

[@deedeemegadoodoo2157]

Very nice!

[@rickmeisch643]

Raccoon tracks I’d say. The owl looks real nice, ever done an owl with like a mouse in its beak? This owl has that stance like before swallowing a mouse at least that was the first thing I seen after some detailing. I love watching you carve😊

[@TayMarie23]

That would be a wicked carving! I try to keep my inventory clean and generic so it can appeal to anyone, but if I ever get the opportunity to a feasting owl I’ll be all for it! I was sort of between small raccoon or squirrel for the tracks, we really do t have many squirrels around us tho 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Muham-ad]

Great Carve. You're spot on with the Sabur tooth bits. I went the cheap HF bits too. I received the ST bits for Xmas. Set of 5 green. Better by far ,no comparison. Looing forward to adding more in time.

[@TayMarie23]

Zero comparison! They are just the best thing! 🙌🏼 worth every penny and then some!

[@stringtwister7654]

Wow it looks so real! The air brushing looks amazing! Loved seeing your sweet puppy too, it's SO cute. I have a pair of Bluetooth heated socks from Amazon there like 30 dollars, there not perfect but will sure warm up your toes

[@TayMarie23]

That one day was -15 with wind chill, some days are just too cold! It’s more so I can only bundle up so much before I feel like my clothes are restricting my movement hahaha! But heated socks sound sooo cozy ☺️

[@stringtwister7654]

@TayMarie23 burrrrrr now that's cold! It doesn't get that cold here in north Carolina. We might hit zero once a winter, but most mornings are in 20's. The heated socks are a little thick, some of my boots they won't fit in, But I can go from froze toes to warm and cozy in a few minutes with em. I mainly use them for fly fishing wading cold water, there is my waders so they stay dry and the Bluetooth I can turn them off and one with my phone. They also have a button on the socks. Anyways take care be careful and CARVE ON!

Great work once again, love how the chest is looking on the owl, nice affect. Birds are not my favourite pieces to make, the feathers and wings are a pain..ha. Hope your doing well, and good luck for the exhibition on the weekend!

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you! I love carving birds, probably more then mammals! The feathers are hard but I find them so rewarding and satisfying to make! I tried to make him look puffy around the upper chest, if you google a perched barred owl you will see they have the puff sometimes! Thanks for always watching man, I appreciate you 🫶🏼

[@alid8646]

Ah really? Yeah but your skills are better than mine though, so feathers will actually look great for you. Yeah exactly, the puff chest adds to the detail. No worries, my pleasure. I'm always learning watching vids, most of my subscriptions on youtube are carvers! lol@@TayMarie23

For someone who is new to this you have incredible talent..do yo like using that Oregon corded saw. I’m 66yrs old and thinking of trying carving myself.. that saw is cheap and quiet..what do you think

[@TayMarie23]

Yes that Oregon saw is great, I think the 18” bar it comes with is a bit much for it though. I think a 16” bar would rip on that saw! They have the Cs1400 and Cs1500, both are great saws for the money. Some people find the cord annoying but I find recharging and swapping batteries more annoying 😂

Brava. Just wondering about your neighbors hearing every day this noise…good work

[@TayMarie23]

Haha I live in Maine where wood burning stoves are still the prevalent home heating source. I have two neighbors, one cuts fire wood for a living and the other runs a sawmill. So if it’s not my saw it’s theirs or the next guy over 😂 I’m inside and I hear saws right now, it’s all good 👍🏻

[@alanablankenship3117]

Hilarious

[@DAS-Videos]

I think the tracks were from a tree climbing rabbit. Like you said they weren't raccoon tracks, and not squirrel tracks. Looking again, they have to be squirrel tracks.

[@TayMarie23]

Definitely squirrel tracks 😂 I have never seen a squirrel on our property so at the time it didn't even cross my mind as an option lol

[@jodyharris4317]

[@enigmaticunknown2862]

I can't see any problems arising from having a neighbor that speaks out loud to themselves who happens to be incredibly skilled with a chainsaw. I like hearing your creative process. The tracks look a lot like a snow hare. Two back feet landing close together and they are long, front being more in line. They can climb trees to an extent but they can also jump 10 feet or more from a stand still. Tracks ending might only be a break. The gait is not from a predatory animal.

[@TayMarie23]

Even when I’m not filming I talk out loud to myself 😂 I wish I had a game cam set up down there, might just have to put one! Other the little house cat tracks, I have seen very large dog/cat tracks from time to time as well. Would be cool to see what visits during the night and early morning hours!

[@jeromefinance4219]

Pourquoi tu préfères travailler à l’extérieur plutôt que dans ton atelier ?

[@TayMarie23]

Great question! I can’t use my gas chainsaws inside, it can literally kill you! I also don’t have electricity down there to run good lights, I run one 100’ extension cord from the house to run my small hand tools. But above all, there is nothing that beats carving in natural light, artificial light casts shadows!
