Wood and Epoxy - Power Carving - Wall Art

In this video I explore a new skill set - power carving. I have never tried something like this before and this video documents the entire journey. There were no test pieces, scrap options, this was it!
There's so much to say so I'll try to move it along. This wood was given to me from a local retailer and was the perfect opportunity to try something new. I have been inspired by Daniel Nguyen for YEARS and always wanted to try my hand at something like this.
Here's his site: www.nugeandwood.com
The carving tools I used (aside from the Ryobi angle grinder) can be found on Arbor Tech's website: www.arbortechtools.com
Here is a link to the segmented ring calculator: www.woodturnersresource.com/ex...
Here is a link to the Total Boat - Thick Set Epoxy that I used:

Very nice of you to take it out on a tour of the city before it gets imprisoned for years on someone's wall.

[@robertcullity1695]

You did good, Taylor. Great camera work, lots of editing that made a long tough process enjoyable to watch. I power carve alot and I know how intense it can get, gotta love it. Do more, well done.

[@lauramolano892]

Loved it! As someone who grew seeing her father working all his life with wood, I can say that what you sir did is a great piece of art! Also love the angles you used filming and the edition is on point! I am a new subscriber and I am looking forward to see the DIY projects with Heather ;)

[@drfmagic23]

Thank you so much for showing how you work. You are so creative.

[@marcberrenson570]

All this, and baseball too. Very impressive!

Great video!!, greetings from México

[@ChristinaRadu96]

I really enjoyed watching the process!! You did an incredible job! 🙌🏽 my grandpa and my uncle are both carpenters and as I grew up, I used to watch them work and put wood together and creating chairs , doors, windows etc.( with more “traditional “ utensils tho 😄) and now watching this video was really satisfying and brought back a lot of good memories. Thank you for sharing your passion and keep up the good work! ✨

[@TaylorHubbell]

ChristinaRadu96 I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! 💪

[@user-ut6vd3rf7p]

Don’t know why but youtube algorithm led me here lol but actually enjoyed the video also nice music selection!!

[@TaylorHubbell]

정수진 every once in awhile that algorithm helps me out! Thanks for stopping by!

[@lexhemart]

Great job! I like the filled in parts- it added to the contrast! Wish you flipped the piece to show the yellow side as well! This would look amazing suspended from the ceiling as an art piece with lighting tucked behind it !

[@rakanal.2925]

That just beautiful every time i see someone make things like that i want to get into curving even more but out of curiosity how long did it take you to make that piece

[@jaybee8486]

Really like the rough shape of the piece at 5:24 when you watered it. I would have left it at that point with minor touches. The yellow, not to my liking. Thanks for sharing!

[@ko0ko0ify]

☺️☺️☺️

[@ArtByKevinZapata]

Now that it’s been a few years I was wondering did you ever have to Reapply the Finish or is it good indefinitely?

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

That outro was money haha! Where does this piece live now? Is it hung up in your house? It came out great man.

[@TaylorHubbell]

Coffey Custom Builds thanks bro! About to be added to the site for sale. Being stored safe and sound

[@ArtByKevinZapata]

How much does it weigh? I was thinking between 35-45? 🤷‍♂️

[@timmyturnup2294]

I wanna do this myself I wonna make me some wealth

[@danielagarciac.603]

Hello, I come from instagram and you don't know how I loved this video but I have a big doubt, was it water what you threw on the wood? I thought that could damage it or is it to be able to work better with it? Love your work!!!!

[@TaylorHubbell]

No damage. Often times between sanding grits but especially before a finish sanding and applying oil you'll water pop the wood which raises the grain and hopes for a smoother finish.

[@danielagarciac.603]

@@TaylorHubbell ohhh! I didn't know, thank you very much!

[@ArtByKevinZapata]

Awesome 👏 how many inches is it 35” around?

[@TaylorHubbell]

I think it was a little under that. I think it was closer to 32"

[@ArtByKevinZapata]

How much does it weigh?? I was thinking 40-50lbs but 🤷‍♂️ lol
