What a cool project this was! This was my first open wing owl as well as my first snowy owl, there will definitely be more of both! I love unique requests like this, makes me think outside the box a little bit! I'm pleased to say the customer was very happy with the results and I'm honored that this owl will represent her little business for years to come!

Tay
I love owls and you did a wonderful job
My dad loved them,birds . An I Grow up loving them to,.I an,68 still love them
Tay, I am so in awe of your talents and this beautiful owl is gorgeous. I started carving with a knife a few years ago following an accident which affected my mobillity. Of course I soon progressed to using power tools I had lying around from a lifetime as a tradesman. KZhead made me want to go bigger and better and I now have a Stihl 140. My access to logs is still limited, though getting better due to working with charities and local authorities, but the rose you carved looks like something I can have a go at. There are a lot of people here in the UK interested in taking up carving but have never thought they could. Frankly I was one. Now I'm doing it I wonder why I haven't been doing it all my life. Thank you for the inspiration you've given me and all the inspiration you will no doubt give to those who naively think I can teach them. 😂🤣😂
I got so lucky I found carving when I did, the stares really just aligned and I took the leap of faith and I’m so happy I did! I’m glad it brings you joy like it does for me! Stay inspired and keep pushing yourself 💪🏼
Amazing Tay… now you must get a nice warm shop to work in.
I am also an artist! I think you are the reincranation of Michelangelo!? Fantastic artwork! Greetings from the Netherlands❤
I always love recognizing real artistry and craftsmanship. I'm a hobbyist wood turner so I really appreciate your skills. All the best to you!
I like that you show every single step of making those carvings. You are truly talented
I do try to add as much as possible without being boring! It’s a cool process so I try to share as much as I can! Might also help others get into carving by seeing the whole process:)
@@TayMarie23 we miss you
I have been. Carving for a long time and love it. Just found your channel ! This Owl is incredibly beautiful!! Great job. I love watching chain saw work. I wish I tried it years ago but at 70 I will stick with what just a band aid can fix 🤣😃 My wife will be happier! Awesome job! 👍👍👍👍
Awww that huge almost made me cry! 🥹 Absolutely stunning work Taylor! The yellow shed really makes the snow owl pop!😍😍😍
She was a sweet customer 🫶🏼 and I know, the yellow makes his eyes POP!!!
An amazing amount of detail using a chain saw and grinder! Very well done! I don't know why YT gave me this suggestion, but I'm SO glad they did. Keep practicing your art. You are truly a master.
Thank you so much! Glad I stumbled upon your feed! 💛
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Nice carving.👍👍👍👍😎
I’m still in awe at your beautiful work 🙌🦉🙌🦉
Aww thank you 🫶🏼
You are an amazing carver,Thank you so much for sharing this ! It turned out Fantastic !!❤
Was a fun project! Thank you!!
Wow! Those eyes are really cool!
Inspired by your channel, I now have my first ever chainsaw carved ‘Welcome Bear’ residing in my garden. I loved doing it, am really pleased with the outcome and now am planing a Barn Owl next! Thanks for your content and in your honour our Bear is called Tay!
Omg this made my day 🙌🏼🥹 Keep carving!!!
@@TayMarie23 Although I do also hold you responsible for spending some money on a Die Grinder and bits! 😉
Hahahaha 😂 Opps sorry not sorry!!!
Wow ! this is the first time of seeing this channel but i have to say Miss that you are a true master at your skill, i had to watch the whole video and you kept me captivated the whole time, Thanks for sharing this your work turned out beautiful
Very impressive display of talent and creativity. I love woodworking, but my weekness is carving because I have trouble imagining how to create something in 3 dimensions. This video was very inspiring to watch. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! Carving is a fun challenge, start small with a Dremel and work your way up!
Wow so talented. Went and checked out your "about me" story too, good for you for following your passion. Amazing stuff, the owl looked so real up there on the wall.
This is just beyond awesome 👌 You have an amazing talent and I can't wait to see your other sculptures ❤
Thank you so much! More videos to come ☺️
Stunningly beautiful work 👍
Tay, i found your channel and you do amazing work. We are in the pnw just south of portland. We are interested in a bigfoot. 🌲🌲
Absolutely beautiful carving, I enjoy your videos, keep it up. Oh yeah, wood is good 😊
Awesomely beautiful
You rock girl great job A big thumbs up 😊
Beautiful
Tay that owl is so well done! The body feathers are just about as real looking as you can do. Mounted on the house is awesome and the tint of dark color like owls are on their feathers is perfect. Young Lady you can carve anything and compete with the best in my view!
I appreciate that! All the little markings were so fun to do as well!
Fantastic job. Well done!
Absolutely fantastic, it’s a real credit to you!
Thank you!
Turned out gnarly!
Haha thank you!
I just watched your bear video and was amazed and now after this owl I cant get anymore impressed and fascinated!! I dont know how you got into carving but your awesome and fun to watch!! By the way, that primer is the best..alot better than kilz. I've used it to cover up fire and smoke damage.
Once again a beautiful job. You’re bringing such happiness to your clients. You’re touching lives in a meaningful way, I hope all who view your videos see it also.
This Owl has blew the cogs clean off me, Such a talent....Bravo
Thank you very much!
Awesome, again! Skip McCain
Just wow oh wow
❤ your work... Big ups from Portugal
Beautifully carved! Beautifully edited! A epic owl no doubt about it! A logistic nightmare on where to store it with other projects going on for months! You did it Tay! Woohoo! AMAZING as always! 🫶🏻
Thank you Larry! Definitely a logistic struggle but we got er done!
Absolutely stunning!
What an amazing job I love it
That is quite remarkable and impressive!
Thank you!
@TayMarie23 No thanks needed. I thank you for sharing with us.
You are an amazing artist!
Been watching you carve this owl..brilliant.I'm a cartoonist and I appreciate all forms of artwork,from animation to tattoos to sandcastles to photography...it's a big list.The way you just sliced so confidently into the wood..you must have been feeling the same way I get when I'm working on a project for someone.I'll be sticking to a pen(much less chance of losing a limb)for my work...best luck to you.Last thought..if I had Owl-legs,I would NEVER go to the beach again.
Blown away.
You have such nice canines!!!
Hi Tay Marie. I’m a carver and love it but I don’t think I could ever do what you do. Watching your videos I try to imagine what you are looking at and thinking for your next move. You are extremely good young lady. You should be very proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing.
You went from what you described as, "Over burning" to not burning,. I like it! Usually for a stain block and primer I use KILTZ, hope I spelled it right. I started whittling with a knife when I was seven. I graduated to Dremel and power carvers, but never a chainsaw. You are inspiring me to give it a try.
Beautiful as always! I cant believe your weather is still like that. we are almost leafed out here in east tennessee. Keep them coming tay! Also looking foreward to more home repair vids.
Took me awhile to get this one edited but we for another 15” of snow on April 4 😅 Hopefully we are over the hump and can get some warmer weather!
Hi, you are a great artist at the highest level, and besides, you are as beautiful as an angel of God, I just melt from you!!!
Just letting ya know that you continue to do fanstatic work and we Love your cheerful attitude while doing your wrk
Aww thank you 🫶🏼🫶🏼
I love your work. You are an amazing artist. Thank you for the great channel and videos.
That means a lot! It’s nice to see the channel finally growing a little bit! Hard work does pay off if you are patient enough!
Awsome carve. You are so talented!!
awesome work, you have great talent. 🤗
You are an amazing artisan. Love the channel.
Thank you so much ☺️
He needs a set of skis strapped to his Talons! Olympics !! Mascot ? Hooter the Owl! Idea for sale ? Any bidders!!😂🇨🇦
That would look awesome 😂🙌🏼 Ski owl hahaha!
Wow that is awesome a beautiful piece of art u did a amazing job with it I am very impressed by your work wow
Thank you very very much! Was a fun project!
You are very good at what you do its amazing you keep up the good work you can only get better if thats possible. All good.
Always room for improvement 💪🏼
I'm left speechless.
Well as I've said before and I'm sure I'll be saying for a long time... Your just amazing and awesomely talented at your craft... It's just beautiful.. Your beautiful and your smile and eyes can warm even the coldest of days...lol This owl 🦉 is so beautiful i know it's wood but I'd be afraid of having it outside... I'd have it in my entry way of my house so it will stay as beautiful as possible and hopefully not crack any over time... It's a piece of art as far as I'm concerned...best always to you young lady...
Very much appreciated! And unfortunately every craving will crack as the wood dries regardless of where you keep it, just like every log in a log cabin will crack. Its best to embrace the cracks as part of this natural materials beauty 🫶🏼
@@TayMarie23 oh yeah I know they will crack...I have some in my house now and they have minor cracks here and there and yeah it looks cool 😎 and adds to it... I have Hawaiian Tiki God's and such and they all have cracks... I just think your work is so gorgeous that it deserves to be in a museum.... I mean really that's why I said like if I had one it would be in my entryway...a very deserving place for a work of art such as yours... beautiful...best
That was great your detail is outstanding…..
Thank you very much!
Truly AMAZING !!
Incredible!
