Carving a 🦆out of Wood & Epoxy
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ย. 2021
- I carved a swan out of a massive piece of Buckeye Burl and 13 gallons of epoxy. I first cut the buckeye to the appropriate size. I then spent 2 weeks doing 6 separate pours of epoxy to get the volume I needed for the carving. Once the epoxy was cured, I used a chainsaw as well as other power tools to carve the swan out of the block. I then spent an absurd amount of time hand sanding everything before applying finish. I am really happy with how this sculpture turned out and eager to hear what you guys think! #woodcarving #epoxy #carving

Amazing result! Since you asked: I’m not a fan of this format with music. I very much like the voice over with explanation!
Awesome, thank you for the insight!
@@BMSculptures Yes I agree, I am a big fan if you talk about the process and the thoughts you have during your amazing creations!
I second that!
Yes I’m in total agreement I love to hear you talk through the process
Me too! I love voiceovers!
I personally enjoy hearing the insight into each project, however I also enjoy these no narration bits as well. I think having sections of both in a video would be great

👍Great video, amazing work. A little of each style with just your work & then maybe a little explanation thrown in.
Let's face it Blake, having your beautiful face and voice included in the video is as much the subject matter as the project itself and adds so much to the video's appeal, but I think you already know this and you are just toying with your audience.
At 4:00 it looks like a disgusting aquarium and then you start to work your magic and the ugly duckling turns into the beautiful swan. Fantastic piece. I like voiceover rather than music because I am always curious what the thought processes are and how you go about planning it.
I had to mute this one. I like hearing his narration. He has a soothing voice. The music was annoying.
I like both formats. watching the swan emerge in all it's golden glory was mesmerizing. I have enjoyed every one of your videos, and do like it when you point out some of the obstacles you encounter, and how you solve the problem, The swan appears to have been problem free and prefect.
ONE WORD: "Wonder-FN-COOL!" God Bless you and your family!
incredible !!! your ability to stick to it.. is an example for all to learn from !!!
Thank you Jimmy. I appreciate the support from the master himself!
Spot on Jimmy 🙏
This wood sculpture work involves so much talent/skill, patience, knowledge, safety, interest, time consciousness, love to create, creativity, designing, etc. You are a marvellous creature in which all these parameters are mingled into one. Excellent piece of art.
Majestic!!!! A directorial success, just as the SWAN deserved! No talking needed as your little footnotes were perfect. WOWEE!!! I am in awe!!!!
My 6 year old son and I love your videos and he said he prefers to he’s you describe the process. We’re proper fan boys! Amazing talent and stunning results. 👍🏼 🇬🇧
I've never seen anything like this before. It's really beautiful.
I agree 100%
I’d definitely like to hear about how you select and work with a rotted piece of wood. What to look for / how to prep it etc.
I don't think burl wood is rotted wood - it is very expensive
Lol definitely not rotted wood.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burl - They don't form often and they are sort after for woodworking, so they ain't cheap!

Music is fantastic, it's great hearing quality music whilst sitting back and watching this truly amazing piece of art take shape. Amazing video.
That is amazing. I love swans. They're one of my favorite kinds of birds.
He made it by hand, he's incredible! This is priceless work. I watched him start to finish.
amazing as always! personally i love the voiceovers. i like to watch your videos while i’m doing other things like cooking, cleaning, etc. and having the explanations are nice so i don’t exactly NEED to watch every second when i’m doing something else. also, i’m a former sculpture student and want to get back into making art, and having the explanations/voiceovers help me learn new tricks for when i get back into it. love the videos!

I like it when you talk us thru it better.
It shows us your thinking and planning better.
This is a truly awesome piece.
Your sculpture of wood and epoxy of the swan is just beautiful and amazing! You’re a very talented artist!💜💜💜
I’m convinced I’ve never seen a wood epoxy sculpture more beautiful in my entire life and the soft music was amazing 🤩
The soft music? Made me rock solid.
Ich wünschte er hätte auf die Musik verzichtet. 🤢🤷♀️ Wenigstens war der Rest toll! 👍
@@roseflower5377 yes
As a watercolor painter, I am always thrilled to see a creative mind and set of gifted hands in action to bring joy and beauty into this world. God bless you and your work.
Just in love with this swan. Exemplary patience, skill, technique and determination. Thank you for sharing.
No talking no music just the voice of tools and carving is fine
Да, это не просто мастер! Это настоящий художник! Восхитительно!!!
Лучше этого лебедя белой краской покрасить.
Из пластиковых бутылок ещё быстрей😂😂😂😂
Я восхищаюсь людьми которые работают с деревом или с эпоксидной смолой ,но здесь два в одном ,потрясающая работа это шедевр , браво.

Как приятно смотреть и видеть ШЕДЕВР - это очень красиво и одновременно сложная работа!
Вот чем люди разной национальности должны заниматься - любимым делом от всей Души.
Я не понимаю язык, что автор говорил, Ноя в восхищении от его работы. Все понятно.
Так и хочется закричать на весь МИР - Дайте людям заниматься любимым делом. Отстаньте от нас со своими экспериментами по вакцинации и одержимым идеям "по захвату всего человечества"
Каждый человек индивидуален и талантлив по своему.
Каждый нормальный человек хочет мира, счастья и Любви во всем мире.
Без переводчика, глядя на его работу я радовалась и наслаждалась его творением и понимала.
This was amazing. Thank you for sharing. The svan is beautiful. What a work you did there. Love it.
I'm so impressed at the patience you have. Beautiful artwork. I'm happy I found you.
I think a mix of the two styles would be the best approach. Personally I really enjoy the voiceover, but I know these types of "oddly satisfying" videos usually get pushed by the algorithm. There were a couple sections that I feel would've benefited from an explanation, like swapping out the beak around halfway in.
Maybe popping in every minute or two to add a tidbit of insight instead of a VO through the entire thing would be the best way to make TH-cam happy, while satisfying people who want more detail like myself.
Either way, I'm extremely impressed by your work, so I'll be here for it.
I really like that strategy actually. Doing music for the majority but then doing a voiceover for more pivotal moments. Thanks for the insight.
@camwing - yes, that would be a perfect balance. 🙂
I agree, Blacktail Studio does this method and it makes for every easy watching.
th-cam.com/video/xiNAdtaZ9AA/w-d-xo.html
Yet another exquisite piece, Blake! Although I enjoyed watching this one, and know that music saves you time, I definitely prefer to hear about your thoughts and strategies that go into these artistic creations, but I will continue watching either way!
Thanks for the insight! I am still figuring out my editing technique. I think so far from the feedback I have received voiceovers are winning. Thanks!
I like best only music
I said Oh Bummer!!..when the beak came off...then realized that it was intentional!!....and that made all the difference!!
WOW !!..comes to mind Blake
@@johnpunith507 very nice i like you

Hi, I'm an Epoxy artist too, all this Epoxy has been wasted...!not to mention all the networks, I think I respected your Epoxy cheap labor and art in your country, there is a lot sunk in the video, love
Exquisite work. Geese are by far my favorite thing in this World. Thank you for sharing this video. Whoever ends up with this creation will be truly blessed. 🦋
Боже, какая красота, труд и терпение.у мастера золотые руки и добрая душа
Wow! That is incredible! I get bored after two hours of sanding on the lathe, can't think how many hours of hand sanding you had to do to get that finish. You have an amazing talent. I'm so glad you share it with us.
WOW! Absolutely wonderful! I can really see this beauty sitting on a table in front of the window of a nice cabin with a view of the lake behind it. And a chandelier made from deer antler. And a couple of those canoe bookshelves also.
wow, wow wow wee wow. I am still speechless seeing this fabulous piece of art. Splendid indeed.
It was absolutely gorgeous! I’ve seen bears, gators, and so many different animals, but this swan is amazing! I didn’t mind the music, I was too intrigued with your carving. I would have liked you to talk a little, I guess more about the swan it’s self. This is such a beautiful piece! Thank you
This is sooooo! beautiful, I am a creative person and watching you transform a piece of wood into such an amazing piece of art makes me want to create something. I love working with wood because of the innate beauty and then you add epoxy that take this swan to a level of perfection. WOW 🤩 thanks
I love your work and how much detail you put into it ❤
You are amazing and this video is the most enjoyable and teachful at the same time!
I can truly say that you earned EVERY SINGLE PENNY for this amazing piece of ART! I just had to subscribe! Thank you so much! STUNNING!
Thank you so much!!!

I was amazed by the whole concept and admire your ability. I would like to see more done to bring out the eyes personally, but it is absolutely beautiful as it is. I like it with or without music or voice. Great job and thanks for sharing it with us.
Simplesmente espetacular tudo o que você faz! Parabéns👏
best use/mix of wood epoxy materials I hav seen yet(edit: from any channel). The design highlites each material well
This is so amazing that I am speechless. However, I would say that I prefer to hear you talking about your process--mentally and physically. This piece deserves a place of honor somewhere!
Thank you. I think the consensus is voiceover!
I don’t think I could like this more!!! AMAZING 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The most amazing piece of wood sculpture I have ever seen in my life..! Words are not enough to explain how beautiful this swan is. Your work is beyond amazing !! I admire you ! 👏🏼
So you haven't seen much wooden sculptures, for sure!!
Stunning! And I love listening the music mixed with the tools you use while seeing you working. Relaxing and peaceful. ❤Very well done.
Another gorgeous piece! I've never been one to wrap my head around sculptures. I can build up to something, but being able to see something inside of a block of marble (or resin & wood, as the case may be) and work my way down to it, that just blows my mind.
Thank you so much for the support!
The care you put into these sculptures is amazing, the amount of time effort is absolutely incredible well done

Love your videos
Truly beautiful. Your art and hardwork to build this piece is phenomenal
This is a fantastic beauty. Man, you're cool and you have golden hands. It is handmade, the figure of a swan is made at a very high level. This is impressive and surprising. A person who does something with his own hands, creates such masterpieces is worthy of respect.
Thank you so much!
Love the video and love when you voice over your videos. I like hearing your thought process through things and hearing tips every now and then.

Thank you so much David! I have been a fan of yours for quite some time and watching all your videos as well as listening to the podcast!
@@BMSculptures mmm id be intrested in this style"clear with wood/liveor burnt edging" but seasonal hunt trophy mount style....... very large rack buck, and ducks, wood,drake,pintails. landing or in flight.
Gorgeous! I like it when you talk because you provide information and know-how for those just beginning
No music, no talking, only the sound of working. That is what I like.
Обожаю людей творческих и их кропотливый труд, сама такая, люблю долго над чем нибудь "пыхтеть" 😊 а потом любоваться тем что получилось. Супер, вдохновляющие видео!
This is simply amazing. Even to think about creating such a beautiful statue. Amazing work of art. ⭐️
This piece came out beautifully! I was happy the beak came off because the wooden one just brings it full circle. About the music, I’d watch this without anything but the sound of the process, like an unintentional asmr✨✨✨
Im trying to figure out if it was intentional or an accident??
Сколько труда вложено в эту работу, это шедевр, превосходно, нет слов, чтоб описать моё восхищение: терпением и мастерством данного человека. 🥰
а ещё какой вред лёгким от эпоксидной пыли. Но результат того стоит

This turned out beautiful. What a magical piece! I had to laugh in relation to the look on your face while sanding! Haha! I enjoyed this style of video. What a joy to watch.
I just happened upon this channel and I am speechless. Your art is absolutely breathtaking. You certainly are very talented and have an eye for detail. I just looked at your website and was blown away, I especially love your male and female sculpting and the bear oh my goodness.
Thank you so much!
@@BMSculptures I just wanted to add that I have been to many galleries and many museums and I have seen a lot of art but these sculptures are really breathtaking.
This piece is so perfect. I truly love your workand artistry.

What an amazing talent you have. That sculpture looks incredible
The background music was soothing, keeps a calm mind. Great job with the wood turning swan, I love your work
It’s a masterpiece. Tremendous skills and admirable perseverance.

Pero que trabajo más HERMOSOOOOOO!!! Me he quedado impresionada. Dios bendiga tu talento!!!💖💖💖
WOW!! What an artist! That is beautiful!
Respect for leaving a comment to the author. I would be grateful if you look at my content and rate it. In one of the videos, I made a sapphire ring from a titanium pipe on a lathe.
So beautiful and I’d love to hear your thought processes as the work progresses x
Absolutely stunning piece of art, congratulations !
Beautiful piece. As for the new format, I enjoy the voice instruction of how you proceed. The trials and errors, and triumphs! The adjustments along the way. Much more interesting.
Keep up the great works of art. Cheers.
Ingenuity and engineering in one video. Thank you so much for what you do. God bless you.
This is the first video I've watched. Absolutely mindblowing. Lovely combination of materials and a beautiful result.

I like it when you explain what you are doing. Love the duck.
I legit don’t know how you make these amazing sculptures, I would get to the part where I had a gigantic block of resin and wood, think about all the things that could go wrong if I make even one tiny mistake and ruin the piece, and just straight give up. You’re a man with a vision 👍🏻
The result it's amazing!!! You are very attentive to details and I see that your process is very intuitive, your technique with different tools is impressive. Good work!! Like the video too
