I watched you make the bull. That was pretty cool. In regards to your finger, I almost chopped of mine cutting pipes under the house. I'm a 100% disabled veteran and the VA amputated everything under my right knee 2 years ago. As I am a Marine, I think it would be awesome if you could do a 3d rendering of the Marine corps eagle, globe, and anchor.

I think “imperfection” in a handmade item makes it unique and one-of-a-kind…it is the fingerprint and mark of its creator. Mass production or computer production does not produce the patina and character and rarity of something made by the imagination and craftsmanship of a human being. I enjoyed watching your creative process and the outcome is truly stellar! I look forward to more of your videos! ✨

Bulls & cows pick up scars from barbed wire nails & other sharp objects on the fences used to keep them on your property. That's why Rolls Royce leather is so expensive. All of the posts & fences get wrapped so the cows wouldn't scar their hide/skin. That Makes for blemishes in the hide/skins used to wrap high-end vehicles & clothes.

I would tend to agree. Having seen real bulls (I grew up on a small farm) their skin and body are rarely ever perfect. The imperfections add realism. The only thing I would suggest is to remove the obvious sanding mistakes. This just makes me think the artist didn't want to mess with it. But the dings and such add to it.

For me, it helps to admit that I was the moron who screwed up and if I slow down and use a bit of caution I’ll be fine. I cut the tip of my thumb off with my mandolin slicer while messing around making midnight cheese snacks… lol the next day I used it to make a salad and my roommate was like “dude! wtf!? You’re using that death trap again!” and I’m like “yeah… I want thin cucumbers.” Haha I know that I didn’t use the guard, I forced a hard cheese through the slicer which is a big no-no and I didn’t bother using the nonslip pad either… I basically threw safety out the damn window and locked it. Same with my motorcycle the first time I crashed… it was a low speed crash but I had anxiety for a few days about even getting on it until I remembered… I chose to ride in the rain, I made a dumb mistake and rode up onto a painted section quickly trying to get some cover and had I just used common sense I would’ve been fine. So next time something happens, take it as a learning opportunity and don’t let your anxiety control you. Fear can be just as dangerous as carelessness. Sometimes being timid can cause a whole host of other dangerous situations. Good luck, stay safe!

Total blown away with the end result. First time watching and will be back regularly. I know exactly how you cut your finger on the bandsaw as i did the same thing, but it was my left index finger. I was trying to cut a bowl blank and my excuse was blunt blade applying too much force. It was the same angle as yours, but it kissed the middle finger as well. Unfortunately, I hit the bone in the joint and cut the tendon. I have most of the use back, but it has a defined bow to the finger now. Like you I was lazy and couldn't be bothered making a circle cutting jig. I now have one. Like i said first time viewer but have now subscribed. You do fantastic work. love your skill.

The body of the snake can be from whatever medium you choose but there should be texturing for scales and some diamond type pattern. If made from wood, it could be diamond patterned inlays. If made from metal you could use clear coat with different colored toners or make patterns with blueing etc. or mix these ideas with some of your own as you begin to envision….

I really like how the metal base turned out! It's a nice simple contrast from the complex pattern of the wood, and the pitting keeps it interesting without being distracting. I think it would be cool to do some kind of lizard for your next sculpture. Like an iguana or gecko or bearded dragon. It could be tricky because a lot of lizards are fairly detailed but that might be an excuse to show off a cool type of wood as the skin texture or something. Or make a tree snake coiled up on or around a branch. Snakes are simple but when twisted up could make for some interesting shapes. Excited to see whatever you end up doing next!

Just wished to have a look at this incredible sculpture with brass horns. Really appreciate your work and your reasoning behind leaving imperfections opened my mind. What a great insight of what will be more value in the future.

By all means leave the flaws. It shows that a man's hands actually created this masterpiece. Great job!!!!

Another amazing piece! You do incredible work! I'd love to see a honey badger, because what's more badass than a honey badger? The white stripe on its back in clear epoxy and using blackwood or ebony would look amazing. Sorry about the finger, glad it wasnt lost!

This sculpture is spectacular. I love the intricacies behind each crevice of this sculpture and believe it was a perfect decision to leave those inperfections in order to give the piece its character and story. I am loving the work I have seen from you thus far. I can't wait to see what you do next. I would really like for you to make a cheetah or a large lion, but if not an animal, maybe an old ship, like a pirate ship or other type of vehicle.

Imprefectios made this work perfect, actually. It's so good, congratulations on your efforts. Also, the cutting boards look great.

11:49 Bottm right off cut has a full star pattern, this piece could be made into a set of drink coasters! Also, there are some other pieces where the pattern has been cut in a way that they can be glued together to make it whole again.

Nothing in handcrafted art is perfect, that is the beauty of it. As a artist myself the struggle is real to create perfection, beautifully broken is my motto. Loving your work and videos. :)
