Great carving I like him😊
As far as the funky log they gave you, maybe a 4 legged alien
Ooooo cool idea! 👏🏻👏🏻
I have the movie called Big Foot
Excellent work he’s a beauty
Thx 4 taking the time to make this video. 👍
Of course! ☺️
Another great carving. Thanks for sharing.
This one is an oldie but goodie 😊
@@TayMarie23 Yes it is, I missed it somehow.
Another awesome carve, wow amazed at how good you are already, very blessed, keep em coming
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Nice work! I'm in BC so this dude is like my neighbour. I'm glad I found your channel.
Hahaha too funny! Imagine seeing a bigfoot this size just walk out of the woods lol
@@TayMarie23 Ha ha ha ! Hey short stack,...want a cookie?
Exactly lol! If you are in BC check out my good friend Brigitte Lochhead at Bird's Eye Chainsaw Art! She's a great carver and a wonderful soul. She's located in Vancouver! If you are ever looking for a sculpture hit her up!
@@TayMarie23 Thanks! I will.
Ich bewundere Tay Marie was sie alles kann .
Sie ist eine schöne hübsche Frau und kann mit so schweren Geräten umgehen und was dabei entsteht einfach toll.
Ich freue mich noch viel von ihr zu sehen.❤😊
Thank you for the kind words 💛
Very very cool TM! Be proud girl! Throughout the video I kept thinking of you as being in the health and personal appearance profession! Lol. Dealing with body and frame structure like a fitness trainer giving him abs and muscles, fur as in hair stylist, skin on the chest and palms, hairy knuckles!! Lol. Then you reminded me of an optometrist doing an eye examine, fine tuning his vision! Awesomeness! When I first seen your 4 trunked log, a spider or octopus came to mind, but maybe not. Then when I seen that block in the background while your were working I thought of a spaceship or rocket with the 4 trunks being the engines?? Will keep it in the back of my mind…👍👍👍
I also happen to be a registered nurse, so many years of anatomy is definitely helpful for carving lol 😂 I still have the 4 trunk log, I like both the octopus and rocket idea! I’ll probably never carve a spider unless it’s a commission…because I would have to look at reference pictures…and they absolutely terrify me 😂😂😂
@@TayMarie23 Thank uou for your service in these trying times !
Another idea..maybe...table legs with a nicely finished slab affixed to the top ???
@@TayMarie23 not sure how big the 4 branches are...turn it upside down like a plant with 4 shoots with flowers..tulips???
Great job!
Love your Bigfoot, was happy with mine till I saw yours. Thanks for sharing I'm going to need a lot more practice.😀
This was a fun carving 😊 He came out with a cute and gentle expression!
Octopus! Split the legs to make 8
Oooo that sounds fun!!!
Awesome job! Thank you for posting, I am carving a bigfoot and having a lot of trial and error. What you have done and shared will help me a lot. Thank you!
Of course! Best of luck with your carving!
You need a shed or canopy so you carve in the rain or blistering sun! I bought a pop up canopy and it is a game changer since do most of my carving in the bush
I built a 12x12 cedar shelter right before this past winter, you will see it in the newer videos 😁
I know this is a old video but I still got to say ...
That your beautiful and your work only gets better and better...
Keep it up beautiful lady...
It's a nice Bigfood!! Gradtulation👍👍👍Gold work
Thank you, he was a really fun carve!
@@TayMarie23 hi Marie I wish you a marry Chrismas and a happy new Jear.
I love your talent it’s awesome thank you for sharing ❤
New subscriber! Enjoying your channel very much! Very talented young lady I would definitely say. Looking forward to the growth of both your business and channel. I see a Giraffe in your neighbors piece. Kind of far removed from a general bear carving. I’m sure you will come up with something outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing! Blessings! ❤
Aww I appreciate the support! ☺️
Also a giraffe sounds cool, what a great idea! I love carving bears but I love changing things up even more! Have a great Sunday!
@@TayMarie23 Thank you for the reply! ☺️ Also that piece may need to be for a baby giraffe. Proportionally not sure if you have enough neck length for a full grown giraffe. Just a thought! 🤔
Nice work! I plan to do one in a couple of months, my first. You have inspired me, keep up the great work.
You can do it! I want to do another one soon too!!!
One angle of your strange log i saw a silverback Gorilla just a thought. Keep up the good work and God bless.
You are the first to mention that which makes me so happy!! That is exactly what I saw the second I saw that log!
Another nice piece!
I appreciate that! This one was reallllly fun :)
Nice Job I really like my finger sander also thanks for sharing
It’s a great little tool, makes life a lot easier! Thanks for watching my friend 😊
Beautiful carvings, you should really get the steel chainsaw with a carving bar and carving chain though. Even though I don't have any experiences of carver, I know that having the right bar, chain, and chainsaw combination can make your work a lot easier.
Thank you, and you are 100% correct! There really is no point in getting a gas saw right now since I’ll be working inside very soon and you can’t run gas indoors! But I just got a battery saw the other day and I hope to put a carving bar on it this winter! Now that this is my full time gig I’ll start pouring funds into my tools as I can afford it 😊 My current saw also has the manufactures chain which is a low profile/low kick back chain…so she cuts extra slow 😂 I actually really like the low profile chain for texturing but it can be a bit underpowered for the blocking out stage 🙃
@@TayMarie23 Yep, Nice! What saw is it?
I’m giving the greenworks 16” 40volt a shot, used it for the first time today actually, but only for 10 minutes - not enough time to give an opinion yet! Just need something small and lightweight for detailing, hopefully this does the trick! I tried the EGO battery saw and hated it. I honestly prefer the feel of a corded saw over the battery ones 😂
Great job
Excelente trabajo saludos y bendiciones desde 🇨🇱🙌
Great job!!
Thank you John ☺️
That big foot is incredible Tay..well done indeed!..ps..Have you ever seen a Big foot in your part of the world?
This is an older carve, im definitely excited to tackle another big foot maybe this year! And no, I haven’t seen the allusive creature up here, if he exists then this would be his paradise though!
@@TayMarie23 I'll look forward to seeing your next Big foot..I'm slowly catching up with all your carvings and think you've come a long way..So it'll be great to see your next project..Well done once again!
Fellow carver here, trust me when I say they are watching you carve. I was a skeptic because it's said they have cloaking abilities.
Well, it's true. So yeah, a Sasquatch has seen your carving. Probably a whole clan. You should know, considering you took your interest in them this far. If you ever come to realize who they are and what they can do, your understanding of the spiritual world will transform dramatically.
You will be scared, but it will be fear of the unknown. Get past your fear, and reality will change instantly. You'll be fine.
Oh yeah, nice carving. Bless.
I see a gorilla. love the carvings you are very talented.
That’s what I saw too! Still have the log!
I so need a Bigfoot!! 💯❤️
Hey Tay, I just got a couple of logs from my neighbor who’s cut down a tree that was in their yard. Do I need to let it dry for a while? I’m in the NW part of the country, it’s a maple of some variety.
Also picked up a MS 170 new from my local stihl dealer. Very excited about that!
No need to wait, especially with hardwoods. As they dry they turn into cement, carving hardwoods green is always best in my opinion. Green wood is easier to carve and will allow you to get more practice in without having to resharpen you chain every gas cycle!
@@TayMarie23 wow, good to know. Alright. How do you get started? Do you have a bear drawing you buy online? I’ve watched a ton of all of your videos, but now that I have a couple of things, it’s like I forgot… 😂 oh man.
To get started you just have to simply get started! It’s one of the hardest things for people! I would start with something like a tree or mushroom, it will help you learn the basics! And build up from there!
@@TayMarie23 well, I got this message today, 2/4 at 4pm PST. This morning I already started on a 5’ bear. Took too much off the back head. It’s a never in a lot of places, and I used a 40 grit on an angle grinder just to see what f the could gain some control, now it smooth and looks more like a cat… oh you should see this thing. So freaking ugly. 😂😂 it was looking like a bear… my wife came home and was wow, that looks like a bear. Not so much anymore.
So, I’m going to just keep going though, it’s all free except the chainsaw, 200 plus tax.
This makes one hell of a mess! Damn! I’m not a messy guy so I’m sweeping, using the blower, sweeping again. Ugh. 😂
Thanks again for responding to me, you don’t have to but I have appreciated your help!
Awesome
Hi Tay. Just came across this one in your feed. Curious about the Australian timber oil. Is that what gives that color as well or did you use a stain before using the oil? I also see this is when you were using your electric chainsaw. Just wondering if you ever had any problem with kick back on your electrics?
Good questions! So Australian timber oil is pigmented (comes in a variety of colors) it both stains and seals the carving in about 2-3 coats. No need for anything else unless you want a glossy sheen, in that case you could follow it up with a SPAR coat. I now use mostly TWP1500 series, which is practically the same thing as Australian timber oil (TWP is much easier to get then ATO due to VOC laws)
As far as kick back, I never had issues with the electric saw but I also haven’t had issue with gas either. Kick back will and does happen, but 98% of the time it’s expected. Rarely do I experience a surprise kick back, over time you just learn positions that make it more luckily. Happens a lot less with sprocket-less carving bars (like dime, quarter, and toonie tips)!
Hope this helps!!!
Question Tay : Did you start carving with a Dremel?
I enjoy spending the evenings carving with a Dremel or Foredom in the barn. I've learned a lot about the importance of texture and proportion. I've started playing with chainsaw carving, but find myself hung up on detail...any advice?
I started with the chainsaw, just went for it! A lot of the detail work comes down to having the rights tools and time behind the saw. When it comes to the detail work I almost image my saw as a big pencil that I’m etching detail with. What saws are you running with what bars? Having a good set up can make a huge difference! Do you have a carving bar?
Your the Best! Unbelievable!
Nahhh you're the best! Thank you for watching ❤
I've always wanted to carve a Bigfoot. What kinda wood do you use and is it wet or dry when you carve it? Also what do you do about cracks after it sits for awhile
I usually carve Eastern White Pine! I like my logs to sit for 3+ months unbarked so they start to check and I can strategically place the cracks towards the back or the piece. Applying a high quality timber or decking oil will help reduce large cracks from forming by slowing down the drying process. But crack really are unpreventable, so it’s best to work with them and embrace them when possible! Color matching the cracks to the carving helps blend them in too! Hope this helps!
@@TayMarie23 Yes it does thank you 😊
wow looks awesome
What corded saw’s do you prefer using rite now?
I only have used Oregon’s corded CS1500 so I don’t have much to compare it to unfortunately! I do love it though, it’s a good little saw :)
That's actually little foot!😂
I see a gorilla. Or maybe thing from the Adams Family? 😂
That stump with the legs would make a great gorilla 🦍
Definitely. From behind the shape of a silver back is already there.
Thats exactly what I see too 😉
@@TayMarie23 Great minds
Great job! What kind of elec. chain saw are you using?
Oregon 18” corded electric saw (CS1500) 😁
@@TayMarie23 Thank you!
Your eyes👀 so cute😊
Hehe thank you 😊
Bravo👏👏👏👍
Thank you 😁😁😁
You're amazing
Haha thank you 😊
Your amazing
Hi ,I am new to your channel and have it greatly , have you ever tried to carve a whitetail buck? Would love to see you give it a try , look forward to see . S.K.
I have a video on a larger-than-life white tail buck! It was earlier on in my carving career. I’m excited to do another someday! But yes, there is a video on one!
@@TayMarie23 thank you , we just watched it and my wife and I love all you owls , beautiful work , keep it going.
Every yard needs a Sas-man
You need to do this again - 8 feet high! Nice work.
Hoping an order comes in eventually for a large big foot! Would be so fun!
😻
I love your carving and I love your work 💘
Hi Tay,
was meinst Du, ob es wohl Big Foot wirklich gibt?
Es gibt ja da so Theorien dazu dass Big Foot wohl schon gesehen wurde... 😊
I can't say for sure, I personally have never seen one so I'm skeptical. But who knows, we find new things on our planet every day!
@@TayMarie23 Ja gibt ja Leute in den USA, die meinen schonmal Bigfoot gesehen zu haben, aber es wurde nie eindeutig belegt. :)
Australian timber oil?
Yes! Honey Teak ATO!!
Do u use it for everything? Including things your going to paint?
@@pinkeyswoodshop depends on the price point of the carving. If it's a custom order or a more expensive inventory item, I will oil first, then let dry for a few days before painting over the oil with an oil based paint :) If it a smaller carving or lower price point I will paint right onto the wood.
hey look that's me 😅🤣😂
A squid ....from pirate's of the Caribbean .....😂😂
@@spider-man910 good one 😂😂
I see a Gorilla!! Great Job !!!
😉
✨🐒✨ 👶👏
"Think" from Adams Family.
Haha you mean thing? Too funny 😂
@@TayMarie23 well that's embarrassing, yes thing.
I was extra confident that you meant “thing” then I wrote it and it auto corrected to “think” 😂
a beautiful man for a beautiful woman
Amazing comment 😂 Thank you lol!!!
I wish i would have got more video of my bigfoot carving,
It’s tough to get footage of everything, I totally get it! I miss stuff all the time because I get to into things and forget to hit the record button 😅
And using the phone your filming with to look at your reference photos. 🙄
@@pinkeyswoodshop yup lol! I still use my phone to film...so no reference pics for me 😅
Are you not posting carvings anymore?
Just no time to edit, rarely a day off this whole summer! Still filming and have tons of videos to make once things slow down just a bit :) Not taking orders over the winter so I'll have tons of time to edit!
@@TayMarie23 that's good. It's more important than you are busy. Your work is very good and you make it interesting. I'm hoping to get married in November and I will commission you for a carving..
Sounds great! Reach out via email when you are ready :)
@@TayMarie23 thank you. I hope you will have a great day. And thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
I think it would make a great gorilla
Exactly what I saw too!
the peace of wood looks like thing.
??? Did you mean to say cousin itt? 🤣🤣
@@TayMarie23 no thing, the hand
Looking good I wouldn’t like to meet him at night
Two leg Dinosaur with his tail dragging behind him. Long slender head for the top with many teeth.
Ok I can definitely see that!!!! I still have the log!
Thank you and looking forward to it. I will keep an eye out for it. Your carving videos are all I watch for Carving Art Work.
Are you sure that's bigfoot? Kind of reminds me of a hairy Danny devito....😜 "twins"
Omg too funny! Got the height right at least 😂
@@TayMarie23 you have an awesome sense of humor. I was joking of course, I only wish I had half your talent. I'm just a hobbyist knifenaker and woidturner. Have a beautiful and blessed day. 🤝
I would love to try wood turning some day! Thank you so much for watching, it helps my little channel out so much 💛 Have a wonderful night!
Started my first Sasquatch today lol. Not anywhere near yours
Woohoo! Don’t compare, I’m sure yours is full of it’s own character! I hope to do another someday, this is the only one I have done!
It’s getting there I just started whittling on it and slimming it down.
giraffe?
real girls pullstartring chainsaws
ypou are so builtiful
That's a baby Bigfoot the adult Bigfoot's 10 ft tall and over 500 lbs supposably make an adult Bigfoot 10 ft tall and scary😂
Might have a 10 footer on the 2025 schedule!
Had no idea they were so short😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha 🤣 Maybe one day I'll get an order for a larger one!
