I Built this tree for the Golden State Warriors

- #Warriors #Sculpture #woodworking. In collaboration with Sports and the Arts, and the Golden State Warriors, I created a one of a kind wall relief sculpture for the players and coaching staff. This sculpture is permanently displayed in the Chase Center, just outside the team's locker room. The Warriors wanted a sculpture that payed homage to their roots in Oakland while incorporating phrases, words and accomplishments meaningful to the team.
This Warriors sculpture spans over 8 feet long and 5 ft tall. It uses premium basketball leather and English Walnut. The lettering was CNC'ed, then using the smallest cobblers nails secured into the sculpture.
This sculpture was over a year in the making. I ended up making 3 sculptures for this because I was dissatisfied with the first two ( I only showed the first one in this video). There were lots of ups, downs and learning along the way but it is these challenges that make it more rewarding in the end. I I am extremely happy with how this sculpture turned out and cannot thank everybody that helped me along the way.
Huge thanks to Alex Reynaud from Under the water woodworks @underthewaterwoodworks, and Mark McCollough and his three boys Diego, Skylar and Jett.

It makes me so happy to see things were people paid so much attention to detail that everything was finished to a satisfactory level.
Thank you!
do you mean his "sculpture" was just satisfactory?
@@ROGERS_A The sculpture itself was amazing and every part of it was finished to a point where I was satisfied. I'm quite a perfectionist and I will tend too get a bit frustrated If things are missed or poorly done.
when i saw the first version, even before the black cornering i knew it was looking bad..and i was like oh god, how will he save this.. i know scrapping it had to hurt , but it was the right decision and the finished piece was worth it
haha yeah scrapping that was very difficult but it needed to be done. Thanks!
This was absolutely incredible!!! The amount of patience and craftsmanship here, just so remarkable. Congrats on an amazing piece!
Thank you William!
Man 18K subs?? That’s it?! My man... you are so deserving and so talented you deserve to have millions of people see your work. This sculpture is an absolute piece of artwork a true masterpiece. The walnut lining you did, the trimming, the letters. I cannot be bothered with such tedious work. Even the masking would make me want to quit. The fact it took a year and having to start fresh after 2 months of work is insane. I would have quit haha but YOURE a true artist. A true master with sculpting and building. Love the video and I can’t wait to see more of your absolutely amazing work man.
Alex, Thank you so much for all the kind words. I cannot express how much it means when I hear people liking my artwork. This build had many ups and downs but I am beyond stoked with how the end result came out. Thank you for being a fan of my artwork.
Yes, we can only reach our goals by maintaining our individual standards... And yours are sky-high... Kudos for your hard work and huge patience as a true artist.. 🤗💞💪
It was the right decision to start again, Looks 👍
Thanks!
Awesome job! It's a beautiful piece and your attention to detail paid off. It's calming to see effort put into pieces and understand that someone took their time and cared about the final results. I can really appreciate that. You truly did an awesome job AND you didn't glue the letters, you painstaking nailed each one! Impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing piece, must feel great to know it's gonna be in such a meaningful place. Congrats!
Thank you. It is such a rewarding build to be able to check it out at Chase Center. Thanks for watching!
That looks AMAZING. The vision it takes just to think of it is staggering to me. Thanks for sharing your talents with people like me that wish we could do it but are satisfied with watching people like you, true masters, make an idea a reality. Gorgeous stuff!
My heart dropped when you said, "Gonna scrap the entire thing". You were right though, the wood trim looked so much more professional then the black.
It was a tough one for sure. Thanks Adam!

Just saw this video and it was so good I watched it again. I'm a SF Native and huge Warriors fan. Your work is amazing!
Profound
Majestic
What a piece of love eternal
Thhhaaannnnkkkk yyooouuu Mr Blake
Wow. That's a painstaking process. But what a lovely and amazing pirce of art. Congratulations and well done.
Wow! You knocked that one out of the park!!!!
Thank you Scott
It was a slam dunk!
Thank you.
You are an inspiration. You are a true master, philosopher, artist, free spirit.
I came upon your work today and give me the strength to continue to live in beauty is in this world of chaos. Thank you.
I love all the beauty you create.
This showed me the true nature of sculpting, how it takes so much patience and time to be able to accomplish this.
I love it 😍
You are professional 👍
Absolutely stunning piece and a beautiful story of how you got to the finish. Thank you for sharing your journey🏴
Thank you so much Willie!
Just absolutely amazing build
The time, patience, and effort to make a workpiece of that quality was exemplary... It keeps all of us that work on such projects a reminder to stay focused on the final objective. A teaching moment.
Thank you Ron, Yes this one was very frustrating at moments but I had to look at the big picture to stay focused. Thanks for watching!
You sir have the patience of a saint.
The attention to detail goes above and beyond
Incredible
I feel your pain. There's nothing worse than thinking you've got the technique worked out, something goes awry, and you have to start from scratch. Been there, done that. Too bad that black rubber piping doesn't come in a 3/16" extruded L that you could have simply contact cemented in place. But... that unhappy accident gave way to the really beautiful walnut veneer trim so... win? Yes! WIN! Nice work. Though many may not notice it, YOU know the attention to detail and craft that goes into a job well done and there is NOTHING like the self-satisfaction of doing such a beautiful and perfect job.
Wowwwww😳🔥🔥
Satisfactory results from a process that spoils the eyes ❤️🔥
can't imagine how difficult it is👏🏼😳🔥
Absolutely amazing. Beautiful
Sophisticated details, incredibly hard work, honesty and buffalo will define your every job and its outcome. I've seen some of your sculptures and I believe that the best is still waiting for you and us.
Love it! Such meticulous work. ♥️
Another awesome projects!!!
That is something to be proud of, fantastic to see your creative process and attention to detail. Some great messages in the tree. Well done, awesome work.
Thank you so much 😀
Where did you get your training? Have you always been so artistic? Your designs are so out there and your vision is amazing. I absolutely love everything you do.
Discovered you recently ( thanks to Steve Ramsey ), and watched all your creations. You are truly an amazing artist, the creativity and skills are simply magnificent.
Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us.
And I simply admire you for throwing away the first attempt, because it was not good enough.
What a wonderful piece thanks so much for documenting the process.
Thank for watching!
As someone who's lived in Oakland my entire life (and is therefore an automatically warriors fan) seeing the tree come together was so cool!!!
Definitely bought some lucky charm to the overall new Chase. Even tho Oakland was legit new chase center definitely earns more and a banner is already up.
Golden hands for a golden state... INCREDIBLE work, CONGRATULATIONS
haha well thank you so much... I appreciate the support!
Wow it took a lot of balls for them to send over that leather. Awesome job bro
hahahahaha Im dying over here... Well done. Thank you!
Outstanding!
The first version would make a great headboard.
The time and hard work put into your work is commendable. The satisfaction of not cutting corners to get such amazing results must be feeling. Love watching your Ork👍🏿
Thank you so much 😀
love love love majestic is the word for that work of art.
That's an amazing build. Kudos to you for knowing when to scrap it and start over! Sometimes it's all about learning the right way to do it by doing it the wrong way first! :D
Wow! I'm frakin' exhausted jus watching the amount of work that went into this beautiful piece of art!
hahaha you and me both!
If "if at first you don't succeed" was a person. Great finished product. Love your vids, creativity, and talent.
that is an insane amount of work and detail
Amazing work!!!
Just WOW! It looks f-ing amazing!! Congrats man! 👏👏👏✌
appreciate it!
Wow incredible patience bud - I'm very impressed.
Wow, absolutely amazing.
Thank you Chris!
Hello, I really like the dedication you have for what you do. You make it look easy even though I know how much each project costs to carry out. I love your channel. Thanks for sharing your work. Greetings from Argentina!!
Facundo, Thank you so much for being a fan of the channel. Yes this project was extremely tedious. I am so happy to be finished!
I'm sure anyone would prefer a spectacular piece a little delayed then something meh on time 😂😊❤
This was spectacular!! 🤩
When you scrapped the first one out.... My heart melted... I would have had a ceasure doing it.... But U.... Ppphhhewwww.... U r the real man of steel.. A perfectionist..... That sculpture looked stunning and so gracefully mounted on the wall........ U r super cool and talented... More so.... Very strong willed and convinced of your own capabilities, qualities and outcome, thats what made u destroy the first one and outdo on the second one, coz u know ur benchmarks and u know exactly what you give out to the client for them to come back to you over and over.... Super talented and an again, an amazing art peice..... And how can I not acknowledge that one thing about you.....! You're Hot hot hot....🙈😍😘😋😎
Wow you amaze me.
I remember making those trees out of paper in kindergarten, good to see people still like to make them!
Extraordinary, craftsmanship, skill, discipline, and patience. I envy your ability.
Thank you!
takes a lot of talent and patience to do this, well done
After I've seen this, I knew it was worth it to subscribe.
Being a dubs fan, I took for granted that tree when it's being shown on live broadcasts. I could see that it's amazing but it gets crazier to think that the process wasn't that miraculously easy. Seems fated to happen as the Warriors also scrapped a season and started anew and still took another season to finally get back to the "Top of the NBA World" as Mike Breen said on last year's finals win.
Your creations are also Tops, and your concentration and dedication are topnotch, on par with SC30 on the court or even better 😉..
Love your works, I've been showing it to my fam and they're also amazed.
Keep it up, Sir Blake!
Taylor Cole is one of my best buds and I remember him talking about you for Minor League Grinders. A random video of yours was recommended and I’m hooked!! Such amazing talent and hard work. I’d love to get something from you
Amazing work congratulations , your works are motivación for me. Saludos desde CDMX MEXICO
Imaging Work Sir....
I've seen the thumb nail but had no idea the work you put in to this
It's amazing when you see a Sculpture you think that's nice.
But when you see the work and Craftsmanship that goes into
making it you think (Spectacular ) or (Fantastic)or (WOW).
Mate it was a Pleasure watching you make this sculpture
it made me realise that you are true artist Love your work man. :)
Thank you Doug. I appreciate all the kind words. All I gotta say is I am glad this ones over!
Only 16K views for such work... Dear lord, you deserve so much more... Amazing work !
I'm blown away. How does this video not have more views!
On one hand what a hardship to have to scrap all that effort for the first one. That turned out to be a blessing, as had the piping looked good, the over all would not looked as good as the finished one.
We learn as much, or more, from out mistakes as our successes. Your dedication, skill and patience is phenomenal! Creating something meaningful that will stand as a tribute for your lifetime and beyond must be a great feeling.
I got here as a random find, and glad I did. May you have many years of continued success.
- Cheers
Thank you so much for the support Joe. It was really difficult to scrap all that hard work, but I knew it had to be done. Thanks for the comment
So very cool
This piece is amazing!!!! Great video and watching that first one get chopped up was awful 😣
Great job bud, this is a forever piece at the Chase Center.
Thanks dude! You were a huge part in it. Lets go check it out soon!
your dedication is insane
Thanks!
Your work is fantastic 🤩
Thank you so much 😀
Yoo, you make some awesome sculptures and content . Keep it up love it 👊👊
Appreciate it! More to come!
És um homem talentoso e muito bonito...
Seus trabalhos são verdadeiras obras de artes, é maravilhoso ver sua dedicação em busca da excelência. Parabéns, me tornei seguidora e fã. ❤
"Ne jamais abandonner" Bravo pour la réalisation de votre défi et de son originalité.
Thank you!
very nice!
Advice: Next time, have an adhesive paper laid on the back of the wood to be cut as letters before the laser cuts them. This way you can peel and stick the letters verses making a thousand drill holes and securing by nails.
*I just can't believe it!*
insane work :O
amazing stuff man
Also how this only has 33k viws :(
This kind of stuff deserves at least a million. Amazing to see a process like this one :D
I hate to say it but I’m so happy that you recognized and realized that the black “trim” had to go! I know it was a major set-back but your piece shined all the better for it!
Wonderful👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
your precision is always impressive.
hope you made a billion dollars off the sculpture!
Awesome also love the handles you put on your axes very talented, subscribed after watching the bear.
Thank you!
Awesome video man, love your channel.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching
Hey hey hey Blake how are you wife doing.I hope well. Again you nailed it with this elegant piece. Well done love. Keep it up you you are going to go places. Much Love❤
Thank you! she's doing well.
@@BMSculptures Good morning Blake you are very welcome. And I so happy that she is doing well and your daughter as well. Much Love ❤
Holy smokes. I thought I had OCD… I now realize I do not. Amazing work.
hahahaha yup. your not the only one
Awesome work!! :)
You could have added an extra cavity for each nail hole, so the nail would not sit flush on the top but dive a couple mils under the wood then apply a bit of wood filler and sanding.
Great buddy glad to see you go that extra extra step I don't let stuff I do go out subpar if it's not rightist not I repaint it oh I paint cars 😀
🛎 Bello trabajo
Just wow.
Thanks!
I like how you left a couple branches blank, makes me think that there's always room for growth.
i know that this was forever ago. this is phenomenal! magnificent! i especially appreciate the voice over and the time spent for each step. i'm glad that you showed us the failure and i definitely commiserated with you. the end result was totally worth the set back and it is a beautiful piece that is worth being proud of. that it is at eye level any flaw would be visible. do you know how the texture is put on the basketball leather? i looked it up and i couldn't find an answer.
WOW!!!
Wow, i just noticed this art a month ago while someone,..I don't know if it's Steph having an interview. And now i accidentally found it on your channel.
Amazing work of art. 😇
This man has the patience of Job.
Amazing, the whole process mesmerizing. I felt anxiety and despair when you ripped it apart… well worth a restart once one appreciates the finished work. CONGRATULATIONS! Out of sheer curiosity, do you have like a little victory ritual once you finish a Herculean piece like this… or any piece for that matter?
That’s that east oakland tree 😮💨🥷🏿🫡
Beautiful work. Amazing sculpture. I hate to mention the spelling error. I'm sure it doesn't matter though.
More ironic if it'd been in an "attention to detail" affirmation or something 🙂
WOWWWWW! I Am
Completely blowwwwwwn Awaaaaay!
Bravo
Thank you!
beautiful work and the dedication! amazing! hard work pays, also 18k sub?!?!?! your channel needs a lot more subscribers
haha thank you so much! I appreciate it
And I thought your channel couldn’t get any cooler
Man that black border looked janky. But when you said you were gonna scrap everything and start from scratch my heart sank. Can only imagine how you felt. Nice result in the end.
Thanks!
Boom! Trashed it! I was coming to comment how janky it was looking when he scrapped it. Major props! How much of art is trial and error resulting in happy accidents. Yeah painful but final version soooooo worth it
