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!
Absolutely world class. No one even comes close.
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
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 👌
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 ❤
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 UA-camr 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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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.
Bull. Great vid. Swan is amazing. Your sculptures are beautiful. Thx for sharing.
THanks for watching and supporting!
Definitely got to go for the horse Blake! An elegant animal for an elegant piece of wood.
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!
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!
This turned out beautiful. I really love that you did the eyes and beak in wood!
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❤🎉😊.
Words cannot describe how talented you are.
I wish, I had all your sculptures in one big room with light 💡 to watch all time.
Loved it!
I vote for Buffalo 🦬
The horse silhouette looked really good!
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.
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.
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!
HORSE, for sure!!! Granted, I LOVE horses, but i would also love to see you make one in your style. That would be epic!❤❤❤
Brother another awesome sculpture. My vote is for the Buffalo. God bless you and your family my friend.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
Buffalo would be my pick. Don't see many of them. Amazing job on the swan!! Awesome!
That sculpture is gorgeous.. The horse would look good in that pattern.
Thanks MsPenny!
*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.
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 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
Phenomenal swan!!
And I vote Bull for the board
My vote is the Buffalo.
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!
Great swan sculpture! Looks lovely. I'd really love to see a horse next time!
I think all three would look spectacular, however the contrast with the Bull would be the best fit.
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
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 !
Stunning swan! I always enjoy watching your sculptures come to life, they are amazing. I vote for a HORSE!
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!
Choose the BULL.
"Hello, Mr. Blake. How much you pay for the new guys?...NO NO, too much"
Haha
😂😂
Taiwan will absolutely love this Swan!! Truly beautiful!
Thanks for sharing!
would love to see you do the horse, great work on the swan love the colours of the wood coming through
bull
Stunning absolutely stunning!!!
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 😀
❤❤❤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.
Gorgeous Swan!
This is gorgeous and I'd like to see the buffalo
I would LOVE to see a Stegosaurus with the wood on top, making up its back and plates, and clear resin on the bottom, for its legs and belly.
I think the horse would look fantastic in the end grain block carving. Great job this project!
Blake. I think this is the most beautiful sculpture yet. You do amazing work.
The swan looks amazing!! I think it would be awesome to see a buffalo!
The bull for sure! Looks like it will be awesome inside the design you are looking at.
You could turn those tiny off-cuts into coasters too. People LOVE their handmade coasters.. heck, I would love some from you!❤❤❤
Please, please, please, a horse. The Swan is absolutely beautiful, your talent is amazing and you are truly gifted x
bless those gifted brain and hands , we are lucky to have you
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
Outstanding end result. Perfect.
Thank you very much!
This is totally astounding.
As always this was a gorgeous sculpture! and I would like to see the horse for the afore mentioned project!
I think this is my favourite. It's stunning. I think the horse would look amazing.
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 🙏🏼
je suis Français et j'adore ce que tu fais !!!! continue tu es un artiste !! respect !!
Bull - love the new thumbnail. Also, would love to see a video on how you package this thing to be shipped over seas
That pattern fits the bull the best in my opinion.
Hi Blake. I think you should try making a buffalo. You are so talented, it would be a no brainer.
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. ❤
It's absolutely perfect
The eyes came out soooo good!!!
This bird is stunning! I particularly love the way the burl looks on the swan's back and how you did the eyes.
I just happened upon your video and I am blown away! So beautiful - the buyer is so lucky.
A matching bull and bear set would be cool. Love your work !!!
That would be cool
I think the horse would look great with that end grain 🐎
This one might be my favorite yet!
I loved the bison you did out of tires so I’d vote for another bison.
Loved it
Absolutely beautiful! Bravo sir, bravo.
The swan is beautiful-I love the colours in the beak. I’d like o see the horse in the next sculpture if possible.
Iam from India a begginer artist really i love the way you finished the detailing heads off ......you are gone a be my inspiration really ❤
I appreciate that!
I think the horse sculpture would look SO COOL witht hat kind of pattern! It would look really majestic in my opinion
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much!!
Amazing sculpture as always! I have to vote horse for the engrained wood
I think a bull will fit that pattern of wood best. The swan is so beautiful and elegant.
Thanks Kathy. So far the bull is winning!
A longhorn skull and horns would be super cool !
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!
I think a horse would make a great project. I love what you do
Absolutely gorgeous!!! At first I thought mmmmm, a swan it’s a little bit to corny, but the end result changed my mind.
And for your question, do the buffalo!
I had to double-check to make sure this post was recent because I had memories of the last swan build in my head. 😂 I think the horse would be nice…and amazing finished product! 👍🏾
haha for sure. Thanks!
What you did with the beak is so cool😮
Thanks!
Bull would be so nice.
Sweet swan
I would love to see a buffalo sculpture but for that pattern I think a bull would look pretty dang cool. All your work turns out absolutely incredible
Thank you so much!
I love the crunchy sounds of the bark coming off
I love the watching this the nonchalant matter of fact behaviour of getting somewhere safe quickly without the panic that you see in some other countries
