First Stump Job

I did my first official on-site stump job a few weeks ago! The customer wanted a black bear in a stump which was about 5' tall, and a relief carving of a barred owl on a smaller maple stump! I have been so blessed to work with some of the best customers on this carving journey! Hope to get another video out by the weekend!

We are so pleased with this project. Thank you for sharing a bit of the journey with us. Mr Bear aka Daisy and the owl currently named Pizza are truly loved. 😊❤

[@TayMarie23]

PIZZA! Wow I love that, was that your daughter’s creative naming? 😂💛 Daisy and Pizza are in great hands, enjoy them!

[@beaver1000]

Yes. She came up with pizza

[@kmomaine1]

@@TayMarie23she named the owl sugar pizza 😂

[@TayMarie23]

Leave it to the imagination of a 3 year old! Couldn’t think of a better name then Sugar Pizza 🤣💛

[@CobusM1]

Incredible, I am going to run out of complimentary words it is just amazing. Watching these are therapeutic and I can't thank you enough ☺️ This is now my favorite channel ❤️

[@TayMarie23]

Aww how kind, it’s my pleasure, art is made to be shared and enjoyed! Welcome to the channel 💛

[@Barebutt_lake_art-studio]

The eyes are so real!! You are extremely talented! Just amazing

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you so much 😊 Love painting their eyes!

[@Barebutt_lake_art-studio]

My bears look ok. But I'm really studying this video because of how you do the eyes. Really appreciate every video you put out

[@milanmeleg3100]

Nádherná práca, nádherná spracovateľka. Veľký obdiv!!!

[@paulalderson6920]

Those wood borers are called witchetty grubs in Australia and are quite the delicacy with our aboriginal first nation people. A good source of protein I imagine , (I say imagine as I ain't never gonna eat them).

[@TayMarie23]

The chickens love them 😂

[@paulalderson6920]

Aussies call chickens chooks. I know, we’re a strange breed.

[@jaygordon9554]

Absolutely beautiful! You make it look so easy.

[@tipiandy694]

I love your work, ❤❤ from Scotland.

[@CJ-qo6hp]

Amazing work! The top of the owl tree is really cool. And I love the bear bum

[@TayMarie23]

The bear butts are just too cute not to add 😂

[@NorthPoleDesign]

Awesome job as always! LOVE my 2511!! That little beast is amazing!!

[@TayMarie23]

It’s an amazing tool to have 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@DianeCrispi-im4vu]

Excellent, as usual! Good job ❤️👍

[@Cberk03]

You're a badass! I bet those carvings will outlast even that house! Quality work!

[@TayMarie23]

If maintained well carvings can last 150 years or more! (At least that’s what google says lol) It was a fun project!

[@billschmitzer9159]

You did very well on your first on site job. Especially if the weather was good and your client was pleased. You’re going to be very successful, though it would be nice if you had some help with your equipment.

[@robinaroundtown...2194]

You are way beyond amazing 💗... Phenomenal even... You've come a long long long way to your quality of work... Bless you girl 💖...

[@JonahPotts1956]

So very nice and thankyou so much for allowing us to watch as you do such beautiful work

[@TayMarie23]

Of course, grateful I have people to share my work with that care 🫶🏼 Art is made to be shared!

[@dnrdufty]

Beautiful work

[@barrywashburn5517]

Now that's pretty cool 😊

[@user-xh7cq1fg6t]

Enjoy watching your videos and listening to your calming voice. The owl was excellent and like to learn from other carvers. Must have been a little nervous doing a on cite carving, I would be. Keep on carving.

[@TayMarie23]

Was definitely different, makes you appreciate having your shop…even if it’s just 11x11 shack 😝 There is so much to carving, if you forget just one thing it can be devastating! It’s the little things like the scrench, the right size wrenches to switch out the die grinder burrs, files, spare chains incase own shapes or hits metal in the log, the right colored paints, etc. If you forget anything it could cost you the whole day!

[@milosbartos2645]

[@susanhershey7107]

just happened upon this while researching chaps. really neat. yes, i said neat. fantastic job. love the bear butt

[@TayMarie23]

Aww thanks! Happy to answer any questions you have regarding chaps! I always prefer the class A over the class B, having that extra protection is priceless!

[@susanhershey7107]

Well...since you offered...do you know the difference between yardmaris the technical version vs non-technical erosion of chaps (class A)? I've looked all over their site and even messaged them. Haven't heard back yet.

[@oakeymt.outdoors]

Thank you 💛💛

[@jeffreydye181]

[@rickmeisch643]

Tay, lots of talent in both carving n art! The owl is really realistic n the bear is a laugh with the butt showing! Great jobs

[@TayMarie23]

I always show their little butts when the customers let me 😂 They just add a funny charm!

[@papascruffy]

Impressive, very nice work!

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you! Cheers! 😊

[@larrywheeler9797]

That was Crazy Cool TayMarie! Terrific carvings as usual, both of them. Fantastic first on site carvings! I’m sure more will come after this! The bear was TayMarie style all the way and the owl what a surprise was so difficult to me. Unbelievable! Your painting is so excellent, really brings your carvings to life, but the ones all natural are some of my favorites too! Loved this vlog, loved the soft case chainsaw bag, pretty handy, everything outstanding in every way Tay! 👍🏻😊 ❤️

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you Larry! I definitely want to make more owls, painted and natural alike!

Amazing job! Been waiting for you to do a new video 😊 Love the way the bear sits inside the log with his little bum sticking out 😂So much extra detail on both of these carvings, 10/10 😁 Cant wait for the next vid! 🥳

[@TayMarie23]

I love making the little bums hahaha! A wise carver friend of mine once said “as long as the bear has a cute face, feet, and butt…it will sell” 😂

[@mylesmclean7121]

Hi TayMarie again getting better and better your progression is going by leaps and bounds. Really nice to see someone who enjoys their work . When you have that going for you it doesn't feel like a job enjoy it and work safe and smart. Thanks for sharing.

[@TayMarie23]

Aww thank you for the kind words! I truly enjoy what I do, wish everyone could say the same, I’m definitely blessed!

[@ericschmitt8509]

Looks amazing 🤩, what a lucky customer!! Where is that 10 foot monster log video? The totem pole or bear??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@TayMarie23]

Hehehe that one will be out soon enough! 😉The completed 10’ monster log just made it to Canada last weekend! I’m super excited to share that one, it was a feat!

work is great. I wish I could try the feeling of carving right in the middle of nature like that!!! 😘😘😘😘😘

[@TayMarie23]

It’s the absolute best! Even in the winter I usually end up carving outside!

Question please. Are there any Jungle Big Cats in the future? Pure Art.

[@TayMarie23]

I hope so! Since I do mostly commission work at the moment I’m at the mercy of what’s ordered! Trying to poke a previous customer to let me do a big cat from him though so I’ll keep working on it haha!

[@yonu5983]

Thank you@@TayMarie23

[@fichtemopedschnibbler]

awesome work right here, the owl looks gorgeous so does the bear.

[@TayMarie23]

They were a fun duo! Really enjoyed the owl! ☺️

[@user-wl1hd6ro1t]

TayMarie, Would you be able to tell me what bit you used to work around the owl's eyes? I believe, in another video, you said it was a dovetail bit that you used for face fur and such. I've been carving for a short time...just trying to see what works best. That huge Grizzly was incredible! Awesome work.

[@TayMarie23]

Thank you! I used a Manpa eye cutter on my die grinder to cut in the eye and then used the edge of a cylinder burr to dig in to make the texture around the face area. A dovetail would work as well, just need an edge to gouge out a V in the wood if that makes sense! :)

[@scottnei1377]

Love the string picking songs for this video. Also saw you using a corded Dremel. Do you plug in at the clients or do you run a generator? Beautiful carves.

[@TayMarie23]

I plug in at the customers home! I even used their extension cord so I didn’t have to bring my 150’ 10 gauge one I use down at my carving shed!

[@scottnei1377]

@@TayMarie23 Thanks Tay.

[@kholbrook203]

You are very talented!!! I love them both. Do you travel out of state?

[@TayMarie23]

For the right price I’ll travel anywhere!!! 😆😁

[@Kurlek-Siberian]

Здорово

[@jangrefe4579]

Very nice job. How do you prevent the stump from going moldy? The capillaries are still pumping water, aren‘t they?

[@TayMarie23]

So the timber oil helps with most of this with its strong mildew resistance! The carvings can also be cut from the stump/roots at a later date and even moved, but for now the customers gets to enjoy them looking as natural as possible!

[@jangrefe4579]

^^Thanks. Greetings from Germany.@@TayMarie23

[@jackiekerr4792]

What does this cost the customer?? It's an awesome job!

[@TayMarie23]

I’m not very good at pricing my work lol! Out of the respect for the customer I won’t say exactly how much but this one and a half day job was under $1000 👍🏻
