Little Climbing Black Bear - CHAINSAW CARVING 

Thank you for the kind words, I greatly appreciate that! I absolutely love carving and I think it just shows in my work ☺️

Wow! That’s one of the best I’ve seen. Just seen your channel. Definitely going to stay tuned in.

Thank you ☺️

​@@TayMarie23where do you get your flap sander from?

Ahhh that’s so cool, thank you! Never really thought this channel would go anywhere, so it’s so rewarding to hear people say they enjoy the channel 💛

I just found this channel a couple hours ago and ALREADY feel the exact same way! I'm watching a true artist showcase their craft! Truly amazing work!!!

Thank you very much!

It was my pleasure Frank! I hope he brings you and your family smiles for many years to come! :)

Aww I appreciate the complement, thank you 💛💛

They are fun to carve, this is the second one I have done! Hope to do more of them!

Be careful…it becomes an addiction as I’m sure you are finding out 😂 it is such a great hobby for the mind, body, and spirit!

Aww thank you for this comment! It’s been my pleasure to take you all along with me! It will be fun to look back at these videos in the future:)

We have had such bad weather this month it has made working on the big project so slow! But I should be wrapping it up in the next week or so and will try to get a video out by the end of September at the latest! Thank you Keegan 💛

Thank you so much ☺️

@@TayMarie23 You are very welcome. You are also a very pretty girl who does beautiful work. You are truly blessed Tay. Don't ever change.

Thanks for watching! This was the first project I used gouges only for the eyes, I think I was able to achieve a more realistic eye shape that way!

Don’t be afraid of any subject! You got this! You have to step outside of your comfort zone to grow as an artist, growth is always uncomfortable!

Cutting that 90 out first is key! Then you just carve out that missing pizza slice 😂 I’m getting better at painting, I think an airbrush will help me get to the next level, but for now my rattle cans have done me justice!

I appreciate that so much! If you ever need a carving done check out Rob Bast in Melbourne, Victoria! Super great guy and a top notch carver!

Thank you, that makes two of us 😁

I appreciate that, thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it! I love that 12” mini roller on the ms170, great combo! 😁

Thank you! 😁

Thank you, definitely happy with this one! ☺️

I really do, I’ll enjoy it even more once I can work in above freezing temps again 😅

Thank you very much! 💛

No way!!! I hope you didn’t spit out your noodles 😂🤣

I appreciate that thank you!

Hahaha thank you 😂

They are so fun! Bit challenging mentally but 10/10 would recommend 😂

Maybe one day I’ll offer classes! ☺️ Just need a few more years of experience!

You should! They are fun to make!

Sometimes, if the beam is smaller, some toes peak out so I like to detail them for that reason! All 4 paws took about 15 minutes so I believe its worth it even if it’s a bit extra work! But I totally understand! Thank you ☺️

Thank you! Cheers! 😁

You are so kind 😊

@@TayMarie23 You also. 🤩

Thank you!

Thank you! Cheers! ☺️

I was just on TV!!! Crazy right!?! Welcome to the crew!!! 💛

Thank you 🙌🏼💛

Thank you! Cheers! 😁

It’s a lot of fun!!!

Thank you 😊

Thank you very much! 😊

You would be my favorite customer then 😆 When I get an order with a natural seal I do a mini happy dance! I love when the wood does the talking haha!

Thank you!

It’s exciting for me too! They all turn out so different with their own little personalities!

🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Aww thank you!!! I’m not uses to the whole interview thing, definitely need some practice 😅

Thank you thank you!! 🐻

That’s a good size for a first go! I’ll be doing about 4 more of these this month, the orders for them just keep coming in! I have another video of carving these beam bears too, this video was my second one! Best of luck and have fun with it!!!

What is you second bear video called please I am going to check out the notch for the post today and go from there🤞🤞 Thank you for replying as well

@@TayMarie23 Thankyou very much

Aww thank you for the kind words and welcome to the fam! I have been carving for a year and two months now and every day has been a learning experience! It definitely comes easy to some but I still have to work for my results. It’s getting a bit easier as I’m more confident with my cuts ☺️

That's incredible! I do carving with a knife but I want to start using a chainsaw and dremel bits. But for me I would have a very hard time just cutting in and hoping the arms and legs are in the right place so it doesn't look like a mutant. I'm super impressed by your skill. You did such great work on carving and painting the pads of his feet, it's a bummer they get covered by the beam he will be perched on. I look forward to binge watching your other videos. Thanks for your reply.

Many many thanks 😊

I made a couple of minor mistakes but that’s learning, I will finish it tomorrow and paint it Then carve another

I appreciate the compliment! Honestly I surprise myself half the time lol, just pushing to get better with each carve :)

Hi old friend, hope all is well! ☺️

Your nambar

Definitely the bear 😂 haha thank you!

@@TayMarie23 my vote would be for you. But you are a very talented artist you do amazing work. I actually am retired and want to start carving smaller projects with a Dremel.

Go for it! Dremel works is very satisfying! Get yourself some chisels and gouges, they are so fun to work with and your have so much control! Wood working is a wonderful hobby!

@@TayMarie23 the only thing I don’t have raw talent like you do. You probably can draw good. I’m lucky I can draw a stick man.

You might surprise yourself, I see things better in 3D then 2D! I’m an okay drawer but I’m no Picasso lol! Things that you have to work harder for are always more rewarding in the end. If it’s something you really want to do the only one in your way is yourself 😉 Enjoy the process!

The 90 degree V cut is so they fit perfectly around any square beam! These are not made to be displayed off a beam, only on, hope that answers your question!!

Yes, I understand now. Forgive my ignorance. @@TayMarie23

On the bucket list! Just need someone to order one!

Thank you for watching 😊

Great question, there are a few reasons! It helps clean the wood of the splinters and “fuzzies” to create a smoother finished product. Almost like a way of speed sanding. Another reason is because the wood is green, so by torching you dry out the exterior most layer of wood creating a better surface for pain and stains! Hope that answers your question ☺️

I have seen people carve bears with their hands up above their heads holding a glass table top, those always look super cute! I have also seen bears on their backs with all four legs in the air holding up glass for a table as well! Many cute options!

I paint all my eyes and give them a heavy gloss afterwards! One of m6 favorite parts of every piece!

I’m still playing around with methods but usually they are just screwed to the post/bear using a 8-10” timber lag that goes though the bear into the beam. The timber lags I use are already coated black so once screwed to the beam its done and invisible!

Nope sealer goes on first! The entire carving gets coated in 2-3 coats of TWP then I paint over top once dry :)

Thank you,big fan here

Yah you are!!! 😉

A bear like this would probably cost $100 just to ship! I’ll be working on a more compact version this March since these beam bears have been my best sellers, I want to make a version that would be more affordable and shipable! A link to my website is in my bio, maybe shoot me an email towards the end of March when I have those available!

I sure can! The main issue is shipping…depending on where you are shipping alone could cost you upwards of $400+. Because of this I always recommend finding and supporting a local carver! However if shipping cost isn’t an issue or you could pick the carving up (I’m located in central Maine) then I would be happy to talk more! My email is tmcustomcarvings@gmail.com

@@TayMarie23 yeah I was thinking the same thing about shipping. It would be my German Shepherd Tabitha who passed away several years ago. I loved her soooo much and I will never forget her. She was the best ever. She would snuggle with me while watching tv and whe going to sleep she would lay right next to me. She was a trained personal protection dog. She would not let anyone hurt me and I would let no harm come to her. She was the best thing I ever had. I wish I could send you a picture of her. She was right from Germany a true beauty.

Sounds like a dream pup! My girl Nami is part shepherd, such loyal kind souls they have 💛

Thank you! So if you want to switch it over to a carving saw you also have to change the sprocket to 1/4 pitch (unless you go quarter or toonie tip, you can run a 3/8LP chain if you wanted). If you want to go 1/4 pitch you need to get Makitas electric saw 1/4 pitch sprocket, that’s what I found works after some trial and error. You can get your carving bars from so many places - Bailey’s online, Sawnuts, T&D carving, and many more! The chains aren’t anything special, you just need to get the correct pitch, gauge, and drive link chain for whatever bar(s) you end up getting. If you go on Cannon Bars website you can find what chain you need for each carving bar. Also to save you many hours of research the Oregon saw takes a C1 mount. I know that sounds like a lot of info but I promise it’s rather simple! If this sounds overwhelming you are best off ordering though T&D Carvings, talk to Tom, tell him your needs and he will get you all set up! Tell him I sent you! 😁

thank you so much@@TayMarie23

Of course! If you run into any questions along the way don’t hesitate to reach out! The chainsaw carving world is VERY confusing at first with all the saw adaptions. It was very hard for me to grasp everything at first so it’s my goal to make it easier for others to learn and get the stuff they need without the hassle I had to go though :)

hello again do you know what part number the makitas 1/4 pitch spocket was? watch more of your carving vidios love them love your smile@@TayMarie23

@@dennym9536 sorry for the delay! This is the exact one I bought! sawnuts.com/product/makita-cordless-chainsaws-xcu03-duc303-duc353/

I can do pretty much anything! Haven’t done one yet but it’s on the addenda!

You can visit my website and email me! I’m booked out until mid to late spring but Ima still taking orders. tmcustomcarvings@gmail.com

@@TayMarie23 I just emailed you thank you so much. Dan.

I think I just answered you in another post, but if it’s an electric saw you likely just need the Makita 1/4 pitch sprocket. Easy switch!

@@TayMarie23 probably I have been posting on a few videos haha. It’s electric as well. Thank you! I’ll look at getting one!

Should be a link below in the description box. Ordered it off of Amazon, it's been 2 years with almost daily use and it's holding up great!

TM Custom Carvings, profile pic will be a black and white bear paw 🐾

you're a creep

Hey man I’ll give you one more chance. I don’t know what weird fetish you have with struggle pullstarts, to each their own, but this isn’t the channel for you. Don’t be weird, because you are being weird. If it’s a bad video I welcome you to stop watching them ☺️

i have 1tip for you go play with dolls&go work like a normal people@@TayMarie23

Thanks for watching 😊

i have a pullstart fetisj i love it when girls struggle pullstarting@@TayMarie23

Thank you ☺️

Hahaha I use my iPhone for filming (it’s an older one I believe the 11), my mic is just my phone mic, and my tripod is in sorry shape held together with duct tape 😂 I have a cling mount that I have been using lately and just cling it to a ladder at the height I want 😅 I make it work lol! Really need a camera though, my iPhone loves corrupting video files which makes editing tough.
