  • Buffalo, Bull or Horse!!!????

  • Hey Blake, with that pattern I would choose the horse. The bull or buffalo would require a more “aggressive” pattern…I think. If I could I would have living room full of your sculptures. Very nice work! Thanks. Steve.

  • This swan turned out very beautiful and elegant. Another masterpiece to your catalogue! I think the horse or buffalo for that pattern but leaning more towards horse because of how dainty the pattern is and seems more appropriate for an animal of similar nature. Cheers!

  • Can I just take a few minutes here to say how proud I am of you Blake? I mean, literally what 2 years ago if even that, you were a new KZheadr making tire sculptures and custom patio furniture without a clue on what the viewers like in terms of editing. And now of days you have found your style of not only videos but art. You continue your occasional tire sculptures which I’m all for, however the epoxy/wood sculptures are amazing, unique, and take an unbelievably amount of time and talent and skill. It’s YOUR style Blake it belongs to YOU. I would love to see you try dyed epoxy next!! Like a tortoise with a wooden shell and green epoxy limbs or something like that! I really enjoy your editing style, a good amount of commentary, explanations, and also background music with time lapses, close ups, the whole 9 yards of professional KZhead videos. Absolutely killing it man, I’m very proud that you’ve found your style in both video creating/ editing, and art. The cutting boards are stunning too man! So unique and mesmerizing. As for the animal of choice… imma say buffalo. I think it’s the most challenging. You’ve done a bull already with the tires, idk that you’ve done a horse but it seems basic, however a buffalo with lots of fur would be a real good challenge with an amazing result. Can’t wait man! Till next time !
