Tay I new this vlog would be good, but it totally knocked me off my feet so to speak. I’ve had the honor and privilege to be there in away to watch as this sculpture was created from a log to the piece you see here today. This Indian Chief tugs at my heart in so many ways. What a magnificent sculpture this turned out to be! It is always AMAZING to me how TayMarie creates her pieces of art with a chainsaw. Add in her artistry with a paint brush and rattle cans and in this case no help from a airbrush is second to none. What a wonderful vlog to celebrate this impressive accomplishment! Can’t wait to see what her chainsaws might be creating next. I know it will be something good. Stay tuned! Bravo to you my sweet talented friend!!! ☺️💛
Your proportions were Spot On. You have found the skill set that God has given you. In the fall, I carved a mountain man skinning a rabbit, and I struggled with symmetry.
That sounds like a complex carving!! Wow! Yes, symmetry is always difficult, make sure you stop carvings every few minutes, take a few steps back, and look at your work. That will help a bit with your symmetry, if you left too much material one side it will be easier to see with a little distance. Also take pictures on your phone and flip them, helps identify things that are off!
greetings from Colombia I am your number 1 admirer I like your content I also make wood sculptures and I like to learn from you one day I would like to work with you and visit the United States please take me with you 🙏
My goodness...The more I've seen of your carvings I've suddenly realised you're not just a hobbyist but a pro....Incredible talent you have..Well,well done!
Wow. Lucky man today! Watched the Spain girls win the FIFA gold cup. Watched Tay Marie also take home the gold cup in WOMENS Chainsaw custom carvings! Amazing Tay! Thumbs up everyone! 👍👍👍👍👍
What safety precautions are essential when working with power tools in wood carving, especially when trying to balance speed and precision, and how do carvers minimize the risk of damaging both the wood and themselves?
Thank you so much! Don’t compare your progress to mine or anyone else! Your carving journey is yours and yours alone! Just keep pushing yourself and celebrate the small victories 😁
Awsome and again getting better and better TayMarie and no criticism love your work but don't be scared to go deep young lady it will elevate your carvings again to another level. Keep up the great work I am a fan and love your attitude and your smile
Thank you for this comment 😊 Been working on carving deeper with my furring and texture lately, it definitely makes a huge difference and create more shadows!
Yes shadows really make it pop also just as an example when you were doing the native and carving the knife on his hip going deeper and separating part of the blade from the body it just brings out so much more wow factor but again a really nice carving TayMarie . Just a little tip from an old man lol I am enjoying your progression as an artist your gong to get seriously good your young work smart and not hard this is a job that can be hard on the body but very rewarding. Think of the long haul and I hope you never loose your smile
Tay, that was so creative and challenging it just blows me away how nice it came out! I’m surprised you didn’t down the head and arm for extra strength but great burning and staining the chief. Don’t be afraid to do another grand carving as the way this turned out it’s all in the patience and time!
Thank you Rick! The head and arm have timber lags with dowel plugs for added support, just didn’t get it on film, but that glue it so strong alone too! Working on another grand project now 😉
You can do it! Keep pushing yourself and try new things on every carve! Try not to get stuck doing or carving the same thing! Remember that growth is almost always uncomfortable, so push yourself out of your comfort zone!
❤ Wow your getting better n better, the female Ryan Cook of the chainsaw carvers world!!! For real, your that good, You should try getting your own show frfr
Hello . I really enjoyed all your carving work . Everything looks awesome. I’ve started carving just a couple of weeks ago and really like it. I like your work pace speed i can tell that you have a peace and love creating your art, praise the Lord. I noticed that you use a 3m respirator with the pink filters , have you tried the purple filters they work awesome, they help filter better with the exhaust fumes and paint fumes. They cost a little more but worth it.
Welcome to the carving club, I hope you enjoy it! I have not tried the purple ones, I’ll have to look into them! I currently use the p100 2097 for oil based aerosols and noxious fumes!
@@TayMarie23 3m P100 2297 are the filter. I have a question , is white pine nice to carve on ? Sorry two questions , how dry does the wood need to be to make sure it doesn’t do something funky later? Thanks George
White pine is great! At least here in Maine it’s abundant, cheap to free, and always available, hence why it’s my go to wood. In a perfect world I would carve cedar more for it’s outdoor resiliency and weight but cedar doesn’t get big here like it does over west. You never have to wait for your logs to dry. Carving green is the traditional way of carving, easier on the tools and your body. I like my logs to sit around just long enough that it starts cracking (usually around 3mo) so I can strategically place the cracks towards the back of the carving.
Fun to watch, great attitude! Thanks for the reminder to wear respirator. Just a thought for your safety: chaps are not supposed to protect you from electric chainsaws. Please research and protect yourself. Hate to see you get hurt! Thanks for the videos and ideas. Take Care
I rarely use the electric chainsaw these days, usually only when I run out of gas haha! I will probably use them more over the winter though :) But thank you, I’m aware that chaps are not as affective against electric saws. This is definitely not a risk free job and I never let myself get too comfortable around my tools.
WOW,WOW, what can I say , this is so awesome and great . I found one of your other videos by accident and asked you if you did Indians, you told me to check your other videos , I am not disappointed. I would love to have you do a Indian just like this for me , but now I have found out that I have prostate cancer and money is tight, but I'm loving all of your videos . Do you have studio and where ? I'm in Trenton , Georgia , and it's March 13 , 2024 . Thank you so much for your videos , love them . Until next time Happy Trails 👣 and be safe Ken York .
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis Ken, cancer is a B*tch and we all know it! I hope your recovery is swift, sending good vibes your way! As of now I don’t have a studio, I just carve in my small side yard and do what I can with what I have. One day I hope to have a gallery that is open to the public where I can both store inventory and display my work and maybe one day even offer carving lessons! For now my little carving shack meets all my needs :) All my best! Tay
Thank you so much for your reply Tay , I'm 74 years young and this is tough on me and my wife , but we're gonna fight it and win . Don't take your youth for granted , enjoy every minute . I'm loving your videos and if you ever open a studio you can count on me being there .Happy Trails 👣 👣.
Tough question! This thing did not what to be carved, my first go the log was infested with carpenter ants, so I had to scrap that log and start completely over. New log was dropped off the night before a big snow storm and I spent hours on end trying to remove the new log from the frozen ground. Took weeks until I could start on the new log. If you aren’t counting all those hours, I would say I got about 70-80 hours into this one?
@@TayMarie23 I’m glad that you addressed the respirator, and that you always show yourself wearing one. So many woodworkers never wear one. Maybe you can talk to Chainsaw Jenna about the importance of saving one’s lungs.
The beauty is beyond belief 💕... Oh ..and the Indian is pretty cool 😎 also ..lolol 🤣 But truthfully you are just amazing over and over again on your talent... And truthfully I meant what I said the first time too...lolol 🤣
Just me, my saw, and some time! Videos are great but getting time with the saw is the most important. The only video I watched before trying it was how to operate a chainsaw safely 😂
Yet again another awesome power carve. Brilliant 👏 work. Question if I may 🤔 ? All your off cuts? You seem to treat with a bit of respect in my eyes, you don't just toss them aside 😊. So would i be right in guessing that ! you either use them for maybe hand carving for yourself or others or sold on for that type of thing. After all nothing these days seems to come free does it ?? Also guess you have to buy the logs in the first place. Cheers Les.
Thank you for the kind words! I try to waste as little as possible so the larger scraps like the ones made from this project go into a different pile where I carve smalls out of them or use them for glue ups and whatnot!
Let’s just say this customer got a really really good deal 😂 I don’t know what I would charge for something like this again, it took me over a month of work! I think when I broke down how much I made on this carving it was about $6 an hour…not counting supplies 😂 People are so hard, definitely a few 1000s!
Totally amazing work and craftsmanship. Wished I live near you so I could watch or see it in person. Looks very expensive. Would love to own it but again not sure if I could afford it. Keep up the amazing work.
Just started raising my prices to meet my current skill level, let’s just say this customer got a good deal 😂 Thank you for the kind words! There are a lot of live chainsaw carving events all over the world, if you enjoy watching it you should try to find an even closest to you! They are always a blast to attend!
How does the selection of the right wood species play a critical role in the success of a carving project, and what factors-such as hardness, grain, and durability-do carvers need to consider before beginning?
Wood type is really just a carver preference and avaliable thing. If I was over west I would be carving cedar, but since I'm over east I carve eastern white pine. White pine makes a great canvas- it's soft but still holds detail well, it's not super knotty, and dries in a way that it doesn't check horribly like oak and some other hardwoods can. You always want the grain running the length of the piece or attachment for added strength 💪🏼 sometimes that's why we do attachments, simply for the added strength of having the grain run in a different direction for the add on specially:)
Welcome to the fam! Wow the Philippines, what are some of the common woods/trees over there? It’s so fascinating to learn about different countries and their native resources!
I'm in no rush to do another person, unless it's for the right price! 🤣 I think this guy took longer than the 10' grizzly I did, but I charged 1/4 of what I charged for that grizzly....hard lesson learned!
The gorilla glue is definitely strong enough alone but I always dowel or timberlok larger attachments, this project I used 5-6” Timberloks, sometimes they are just easier and more discreet then pounding a dowel in! 😊
I do no, but that’s a good idea though! I haven’t posted any educational or tutorial videos since I’m just learning how to do this myself 😂 Timberloks are long structural screws, I believe they even use them for log cabin homes. I show them in my life sized deer carving video, I don’t do much joinery so I think that’s the only video that shows them!
Thank you Taymarie! I've been carving only four years myself. I think this beautiful craft, is constantly evolving, and that's why it's so exciting. I really hope you do a video on joinery. Thank you so much for your response and keep on what your doing!
Some of it gets used for smaller carvings and some of it gets burned! Almost all the logs I use are destined for hog fuel so it's nice to save a lot of it from the burn pile :)
Too long! Probably 2 months of work between other projects and what not! The first log I carved ended up being infested with carpenter ants so after a week of work I had to scrap it and start over! This project was a pain as much as it was a joy haha!
The larger chunks are put to the side for small carvings and anything that can't be made into a carving gets thrown in the burn pile! Unfortunately since I carve mostly pine, it cant be burnt for heating fuel and most of the wood I carve was destined to be burned as hog fuel anyway, so it's nice I get to save a majority of it from waste! Since I do this full time I have been trying to think of creative ways to make more use out of the scraps. Might invest in a muncher/chipper to make and sell mulch as a side hustle 🤔
That's absolutely great 👍 you make good use of the majority of the timber you cut away. Some just toss it aside, dump it or it gets split into kindling for wood burners. Using it all or as much as is possible is a real credit to you 😊. Cheers Les.
This owl is my wife and mine favorite , you are so talented and your painting is spot on and so is the detail , we Love your videos , would like to know how much if possible . KEEP IT UP
How do you resist the urge to post teaser videos of your progress. You know, before the piece is actually finished.? That's kind of why my Video of of my. German Shepherd bust came out in 3 parts. And it's also why I've already posted 3 videos of my new big project, and it's still not done.😂😂
I do that mostly because of my Patreon. They get to see the daily progress of my carvings and video updates! But I do have a few teaser shorts I plan to release on my current big project!

I've been carving only four years myself. I think this beautiful craft, is constantly evolving, and that's why it's so exciting. I really hope you do a video on joinery. Thank you so much for your response and keep on what your doing!
Wow, artistic at its finest!
Thank you!
ما شالله تبارك الله كم انتي جميلة ورائعة ❤❤❤
You are awesome amazing.
Thank you 😁
🙌
what will you do with all the scrap.
Some of it gets used for smaller carvings and some of it gets burned! Almost all the logs I use are destined for hog fuel so it's nice to save a lot of it from the burn pile :)
Wow how long did it take
Too long! Probably 2 months of work between other projects and what not! The first log I carved ended up being infested with carpenter ants so after a week of work I had to scrap it and start over! This project was a pain as much as it was a joy haha!
Simply Amazing
What do you do with all the chunks you cut away
The larger chunks are put to the side for small carvings and anything that can't be made into a carving gets thrown in the burn pile! Unfortunately since I carve mostly pine, it cant be burnt for heating fuel and most of the wood I carve was destined to be burned as hog fuel anyway, so it's nice I get to save a majority of it from waste!
Since I do this full time I have been trying to think of creative ways to make more use out of the scraps. Might invest in a muncher/chipper to make and sell mulch as a side hustle 🤔
Do you realize that what you do is just a little bit short of a miracle
I appreciate that! But I think it’s more so just hours of practice and my workaholic attitude 😂 I don’t remember my last day off hahaha!
Sehr schön geworden 😊
Thank you!
That's absolutely great 👍 you make good use of the majority of the timber you cut away.
Some just toss it aside, dump it or it gets split into kindling for wood burners.
Using it all or as much as is possible is a real credit to you 😊.
Cheers Les.
Thank you ☺️🫶🏼

Ok Tay... I got another question for you . Pro-tip related
How do you resist the urge to post teaser videos of your progress. You know, before the piece is actually finished.? That's kind of why my Video of of my. German Shepherd bust came out in 3 parts. And it's also why I've already posted 3 videos of my new big project, and it's still not done.😂😂
I do that mostly because of my Patreon. They get to see the daily progress of my carvings and video updates! But I do have a few teaser shorts I plan to release on my current big project!
You have one amazing talent there girl
You are trippin me out! WOW
Trippin you out huh? 😂
