  • 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 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. UA-cam 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. 😂🤣😂

    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.
