Buffalo, Bull or Horse!!!????
Bull Bulls are beautiful and powerful animals And under appreciated, especially in Spanish culture where they get abused and killed just for the entertainment of people 😢
Well you have already done some version of a buffalo so I go with bull
Ho man, ummmmmmmm, raccoon !! The national animal of Canada !! :)
@@maplejames6992I love raccoons 🦝
Buffalo
I think the bull fits better for an "not natural pattern" than a buffalo
Love it. I like that.
Yes definitely a bull 🐂
@@BMSculptures Horse but I still want to see you carve my favorite animal an elephant lol 😂
I fel like the Buffalo would of came out better with that patern
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.
Great suggestion!
Yes, horse all the way
Bronco* 😊
exactly what i was thinking!
I think a sea turtle would be cool. The turtle shell has a design to them that could be made using or gluing different wood grains together I think. Making even one of those huge old tortoises would be cool as well. 🐢
I have done one before! check out my video of it
This sculpture is phenomenal. I know you did a bison of tires and a horse head of wood and epoxy, but I would love to see a full-size HORSE! That Buckeye burl makes the most spectacular art pieces ❤
What an incerdible result! That Swan has such a calm and graceful spirit to it.
Thanks Jonas! I'm just trying to draw inspiration from your work 👌
The wood choice for the beak was really nice. Beautiful piece overall. I think the endgrain pattern works best on the bull.
So far it is winning in votes!
Agree!
Definitely got to go for the horse Blake! An elegant animal for an elegant piece of wood.
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!
Thank you so much!
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 !
Thank you so much Alex. You have been one of my early day viewers and I cannot thank you enough for sticking around. I am so glad you are taking this KZhead journey with me!
This is the kindest post, Alex!
I love the way you just 'take it for granted' that your resin will come out crystal clear with no bubbles. Such skill!
If you have seen some of my previous videos you will see the progression. I have made MANY MANY mistakes in the past.
This turned out beautiful. I really love that you did the eyes and beak in wood!
Bull. Great vid. Swan is amazing. Your sculptures are beautiful. Thx for sharing.
THanks for watching and supporting!
Wow. Beautiful piece. It’s so graceful and flowing. I love the long neck, you’d never know it was cast separately. I’d love to see a full horse sculpture.
The SWAN was perfect! But you put so much heart into your work, how could it not be perfect. Keep up the great work. Adorable children by the way. God Bless! Horse would be my choice also.
Stunning absolutely stunning!!!
Loved it! I vote for Buffalo 🦬
This is so beautiful...! Great work!
I think your sculptures are amazing, if you were to use the design you showed I think a horse would be so stunning. Because of the design in the wood, and then the shapes, that would be highlighted in the muscular structures of the horse.
I wish, I had all your sculptures in one big room with light 💡 to watch all time.
Turning Scrap Wood Into $12,000... after having spend several thousand on tools, equipment, my time, shop space, miscellaneous safety equipment. I made a whole $473.00 on this project after all was said and done. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.
Superlatively lovely swan sculpture...graceful, almost ethereal.....marvelous work!
Blake. I think this is the most beautiful sculpture yet. You do amazing work.
Gorgeous work as always. It's amazing how much the little details matter. I think the wooden eye makes a huge difference. I"m always amazed at the precision and quality of your work. Well done!
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful work as always! I gotta say, specifically a long horn bull! That would be an awesome challenge to tackle!
Thanks for the idea!
The sculpture stands as a testament to the sheer brilliance and artistic mastery of its creator. Every chisel mark seems to breathe life into the wood, rendering it a sublime work of art that transcends the boundaries of the medium. It is a masterpiece that not only celebrates your profound talents Blake ,but also enriches the world of art with its captivating presence. Keep it up mate.
I dont know about all that, I'm just trying to carve the best I can and learn along the way. Thank you for following along and supporting my work!
Exactly
Gorgeous Swan!
The swan is wonderful and it looks so realistic I just can’t even believe your doing this. I love it❤
Thanks Barbara. Glad you like it!
*WOW.... that swan is amazing.... I guess packing it and shipping it cost the new owner a fortune too. I hope they are really appreciating what went into making this statue. 🙂.*
I expect it to cost quite a bit. Waiting to receive the quote.
When you were showing the options, I thought the horse was the best because of the colors and design that you’re going to use on the sculpture and you’re amazing at what you do❤🎉😊.
HORSE, for sure!!! Granted, I LOVE horses, but i would also love to see you make one in your style. That would be epic!❤❤❤
Hi Blake! Are you freaking kidding me! This is amazing. The neck is so so stunning. It’s seamless. It looks like one pour. Genius! Thank you Blake
My vote is the Buffalo.
Stunning swan! I always enjoy watching your sculptures come to life, they are amazing. I vote for a HORSE!
Always getting excited when a new video is uploaded. Another fantastic piece Blake, amazing work! 👍
The visible seam in the neck is such a bummer. Great job on the rest though!
when pouring in layers there is just no way around it unfortunately
Absolutely Stunning !
Never, I'm never disappointed with your work. Thankfully, your baseball career afforded you the financial opportunity to pursue your other passion of mixed mediums into truly artistic works. They're all beautiful. My vote on your next piece. Buffalo 🦬 Americana, strength, resilience. I'm already looking forward to your next endeavor. Keep those kids working!
Absolutely incredible work!!!!
We are absolutely blown away by this! Incredible work, this swan is STUNNING!
Choose the BULL.
"Hello, Mr. Blake. How much you pay for the new guys?...NO NO, too much"
Haha
😂😂
Stunning! Honestly it’s difficult to describe how beautiful this is. You must feel so proud and satisfied with your pieces when they are completed. I’d love to see a full sized horse. ❤
Suggestion here: i think you could add a sort of handle to the cutting boards to make it easier to hold and carry and hang 🙏🏼
bull
That is STUNNING!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much!!
Perfect job.. glad to see you back @ it brother...GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY
Thanks, you too!
I think the horse would look fantastic in the end grain block carving. Great job this project!
Your swan is so beautifully done, I'm sure the new owner will be pleased. As far as your next project.... make all 3 in a series. ❤🎉
Great swan sculpture! Looks lovely. I'd really love to see a horse next time!
You could turn those tiny off-cuts into coasters too. People LOVE their handmade coasters.. heck, I would love some from you!❤❤❤
❤❤❤Wow magnificent piece of art! The Swan is just majestic. Love your videos find them so relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing! A horse would be amazing.
The swan is beautiful-I love the colours in the beak. I’d like o see the horse in the next sculpture if possible.
The horse silhouette looked really good!
Wow!!!! Incredible ❤❤ What a lovely sculpture!
Absolutely beautiful! Bravo sir, bravo.
Your work is exquisite! You are very talented! I love your cutting boards too! It must be fun making all those patterns.
As always this was a gorgeous sculpture! and I would like to see the horse for the afore mentioned project!
I just happened upon your video and I am blown away! So beautiful - the buyer is so lucky.
Brother another awesome sculpture. My vote is for the Buffalo. God bless you and your family my friend.
Outstanding end result. Perfect.
Thank you very much!
Taiwan will absolutely love this Swan!! Truly beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Perfect!
that swan is looking gorgeous 👍
I think this is my favourite. It's stunning. I think the horse would look amazing.
Blake you're always a joy to watch! Your talent and dedication to your work and love towards your family is why you're able to create such marvelous works. I do think this swan was far better than your first one! Wonderful job 🙌🏾🌻
I appreciate that!
This is totally astounding.
The eyes came out soooo good!!!
Another beautiful work of art. I love how you take an otherwise discarded mass of wood and turn it into a one of a kind masterpiece, revealing the natural beauty of it.
Thank you so much 😀
Your work always surprises me! What a beautiful sculpture!
Thank you so much 😀
What a beautiful Swan, absolutely gorgeous, definitely this is one must be one of my favorites sculpures that you carve, I vote definitely for a horse. Cheers, bro!!!!!
Thanks!
Absolutely magnificent. I like it more than your other swan for sure. What a Masterpiece
So beautiful and flawless…great job ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
Amazing! Watching you bring the different ingredients together and shaping them into such beautiful art is nothing short of amazing.
This is such a cool art medium. so glad i found your page.
Well done Blake.
Has hecho un trabajo realmente hermoso, te felicito!
Absolutely gorgeous! Just insane talent. Everything is so beautifully done. I don’t know if you’re just a natural with this art but you sure make it look as if you are. Thank you for posting.
Words cannot describe how talented you are.
Best as always Beauty as usual , Smart idea with cutting board
I think the horse because the pattern is more regal. Love the swan Blake! Always a treat!
Dang…. That is beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much!
That sculpture is gorgeous.. The horse would look good in that pattern.
Thanks MsPenny!
I think all three would look spectacular, however the contrast with the Bull would be the best fit.
Blake thank you for sharing all of your videos ,each piece of your artwork is beautiful. wlould love to see an elephant in one of your future pieces
I love seeing your process os much, these sorts of videos are some of my favourites to watch, it's so nice to see your process for these amazing sculptures. I'd love to see a bull in your style for the patterned wood.
Wow man ... that's insanely beautiful ❤❤
So beautiful!!!
Very beautiful and you did a masterful job making and carving it as well!! I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
This guy is so talented ❤ ... keep up the good work
This is insane you can make this. Amazing masterpiece.
Absolutely beautiful work🎉❤
Sensational Blake! Kepp the good work my friend And i believe that the horse will be a great piece of art
I hope so! Thank you!
It's absolutely perfect
Been waiting on on to post a new video, you do amazing work, thank you for sharing !!!
Beautiful work
Thank you so much 😀
would love to see you do the horse, great work on the swan love the colours of the wood coming through
I would love to see some sort of buffalo, even if it isn't end grain. With your skill, it would look amazing. Keep up the amazing work Blake!
Love your work! Imho, I think the bull would be the most spectacular in that wood pattern. Good luck and can't wait to watch you make it!
I was skeptical about the seam where the neck and body meet, but it really blended well. Beautiful work man! 💪💪👍
