Carving 9 Gallons of Epoxy & Wood Into a 🦢 

Buffalo, Bull or Horse!!!????

I think the bull fits better for an "not natural pattern" than a buffalo

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.

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. 🐢

What an incerdible result! That Swan has such a calm and graceful spirit to it.

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 ❤

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!

The wood choice for the beak was really nice. Beautiful piece overall. I think the endgrain pattern works best on the bull.

Definitely got to go for the horse Blake! An elegant animal for an elegant piece of wood.

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 RU-vidr 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 RU-vid 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 !

I love the way you just 'take it for granted' that your resin will come out crystal clear with no bubbles. Such skill!

Bull. Great vid. Swan is amazing. Your sculptures are beautiful. Thx for sharing.

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.

So Amazing! WoW! In another video you asked for sculpture suggestions. I have a few... 1. A boat on the rough seas 2. A bear standing upright on a rock 3. A Fern 4. An Octopus 5. A Waterscape 6. Platonic Solids of beautiful wood suspended in the resin 7. A school of fish under the surface of waving water Your work is so beautiful! ❤

This turned out beautiful. I really love that you did the eyes and beak in wood!

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.

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 wish, I had all your sculptures in one big room with light 💡 to watch all time.

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.

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!

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.

Blake. I think this is the most beautiful sculpture yet. You do amazing work.

The swan is wonderful and it looks so realistic I just can’t even believe your doing this. I love it❤

Absolutely beautiful work as always! I gotta say, specifically a long horn bull! That would be an awesome challenge to tackle!

HORSE, for sure!!! Granted, I LOVE horses, but i would also love to see you make one in your style. That would be epic!❤❤❤

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.

Loved it! I vote for Buffalo 🦬

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

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. ❤

We are absolutely blown away by this! Incredible work, this swan is STUNNING!

*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. 🙂.*

My vote is the Buffalo.

Stunning swan! I always enjoy watching your sculptures come to life, they are amazing. I vote for a HORSE!

Superlatively lovely swan sculpture...graceful, almost ethereal.....marvelous work!

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!

The visible seam in the neck is such a bummer. Great job on the rest though!

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.

Always getting excited when a new video is uploaded. Another fantastic piece Blake, amazing work! 👍

Choose the BULL.

"Hello, Mr. Blake. How much you pay for the new guys?...NO NO, too much"

This is so beautiful...! Great work!

Words cannot describe how talented you are.

bull

You could turn those tiny off-cuts into coasters too. People LOVE their handmade coasters.. heck, I would love some from you!❤❤❤

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 🙏🏼

Taiwan will absolutely love this Swan!! Truly beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

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.

Wow!!!! Incredible ❤❤ What a lovely sculpture!

Gorgeous Swan!

Stunning absolutely stunning!!!

Brother another awesome sculpture. My vote is for the Buffalo. God bless you and your family my friend.

Great swan sculpture! Looks lovely. I'd really love to see a horse next time!

I think the horse would look fantastic in the end grain block carving. Great job this project!

Amazing! Watching you bring the different ingredients together and shaping them into such beautiful art is nothing short of amazing.

I think all three would look spectacular, however the contrast with the Bull would be the best fit.

Absolutely magnificent. I like it more than your other swan for sure. What a Masterpiece

Buffalo would be my pick. Don't see many of them. Amazing job on the swan!! Awesome!

Your swan is so beautifully done, I'm sure the new owner will be pleased. As far as your next project.... make all 3 in a series. ❤🎉

That sculpture is gorgeous.. The horse would look good in that pattern.

Perfect job.. glad to see you back @ it brother...GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY

Absolutely incredible work!!!!

Your work is exquisite! You are very talented! I love your cutting boards too! It must be fun making all those patterns.

The swan is beautiful-I love the colours in the beak. I’d like o see the horse in the next sculpture if possible.

❤❤❤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.

I just happened upon your video and I am blown away! So beautiful - the buyer is so lucky.

This is totally astounding.

The horse silhouette looked really good!

Horse 🐎 And Swan is gorgeous the detail you do on this is amazing I do nothing at this caliber I could never compete with anything like this of course I don't do sculptures but I'm talking about artwork. You are amazing. Oh and you're cutting boards are aboveboard

Your work always surprises me! What a beautiful sculpture!

It's absolutely perfect

Blake you're always a joy to watch! Your talent and dedication to your work and love towards your family is why you're able to create such marvelous works. I do think this swan was far better than your first one! Wonderful job 🙌🏾🌻

I love seeing your process os much, these sorts of videos are some of my favourites to watch, it's so nice to see your process for these amazing sculptures. I'd love to see a bull in your style for the patterned wood.

That is STUNNING!

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❤🎉😊.

Recognizing that professional workers are different, everything they do is beautiful and wonderful❤

This one might be my favorite yet!

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!!!!!

Perfect!

Absolutely beautiful! Bravo sir, bravo.

Well done Blake.

I think this is my favourite. It's stunning. I think the horse would look amazing.

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!
