Imo, these masterpieces of artwork should be displayed in luxury places that belong to the rich. Those who are interested in collecting them are the only customers that a wood carving artist should target to. Customers have to be worthy enough to buy these masterpieces which is some kind of an artist's pride. Who wouldn't want their beautiful artworks to belong to worthy customers and displayed in a worthy place. Though if the artist him/herself is also a rich person and has a freakin big mansion then it is another story.

The dimples around the jaw are for nerves! I don't remember whether they're anchor points or something else but they've got to do with the nerves in the tyrannosaur's lips (we know they had lips partially _because_ of the even arrangement of the dimples, which I think is really neat). Glad you included them in the sculpture, it came out amazing!

Awesome sculpture! I think the void on the skull makes it look more like a proper fossil from either morping or an injury (called a pathology). Also, the little holes above the teeth are likely attachement points for muscles and nerves that would lead to the lips that covered the teeth on most dinosaurs! These holes can also be seen in lizard and crocodile skulls.

After watching you build this fantastic display, I must applaud your skills and efforts in the process of rebuilding history. As far as the dimples on the lower jaw go, I surmise that they may be an attachment point for, muscle and tendons, or a pathway for nerves. However, that is just my way of thinking. I am really curious to see what you will tackle next. Keep up the excellent art. Paul

Guys, Salvation is very Simple HalleluYAH translates “Praise ye YaH” YaH is The Heavenly Father YaH arrives via the TENT OF MEETING YaH was Who they Crucified for our sins YaH was Crucified on an Almond TREE - Ancient Semitic Cuneiform of Moshe (Moses) - Isa Scroll (The Original Isaiah) Isaiah 42:8 "I am YaH; that is my Name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. Isaiah 43:11 I, I am YAH, and there is no other Savior but Me. Isaiah 45:5 I am YaH, and there is none else.

Absolutely incredible Blake! You have a serious gift to look at a solid mass and visualize the end result, knowing exactly where the material needs to be removed to achieve your vision. That's a true art. Keep it up man, always inspiring to see your creations

I forwarded this to a wood carving dentist friend who would appreciate your efforts on many levels. Incredible work. Good eye. Great ability to rework the plan as you progressed. Patience is a virtue that rewards those who practice it.

If I were you, I'd keep this! Isn't it so rewarding to see your piece come out beautiful at the end, after all the stress, negative thoughts and anxiety and problems you have during the process?? This thing is amazing. Really awesome source of materials as well! Great job.

I build scale models and that takes a certain amount of patience and determination. I applaud your determination to work through this project and see it to the end. The result is absolutely awesome. I must admit, I don't think I would have the patience for this type of artwork. You are at an entirely different level of creativity. Well done is an understatement! Thank you for sharing this fantastic piece of artwork!

That could be the most beautiful piece of worked wood I've ever seen! Congratulations! Love to know how much it sold for. I would imagine that would go for a very hefty price. Absolutely stunning, man!

The price for this is insanely high but definitely worth all of the work that was put into this amazing sculpture, great job and congratulations on finishing it and not pushing through the low points!
@Makin1up09 10 ай бұрын
Let me preface my comment by saying $48K is a lot of money, and nothing I could afford, however, that amounts to just $120 an hour. That's really not all too much when you consider some presidents son can drop paint on a canvas and make an honest $500,000 and I'm sure it has nothing to do with money laundering or anything else illegal .
@Goalsplus 10 ай бұрын
If I had the talent to carve and spent that much time on it I would definitely charge the same price. Someone will buy it and appreciate it.
@WelziFC7 4 ай бұрын
I wish I could afford what you’re asking for this I would purchase it immediately. But your asking price is 100% worth it for the level of detail and care you put into this piece. I’m sure you’ll find the perfect buyer!

That was incredible. Absolutely astounding. Watching this I was like yea this is super cool, but then you started adding the teeth and I couldn’t help but smile and got a little teary eyed. This belongs in a place where thousands upon thousands of people can see and enjoy this.

The moment we got to see the missing wood I thought "awesome! missing bone would make it seem more realistic as a fossil" but I cannot imagine the stress you felt personally wanting it to be a completely untainted piece. Super sorry about how you must've felt before you came to the realisation that it ended up being a good thing, but glad it worked out for you. Definitely the coolest carving I've seen, keen for more to come!

HUGE congrats, this is a giant, impressive achievement indeed! The reveal of the many chunks saved under the tarp at 11:44 is my favorite part - I'm so happy that so many cut-offs from this project will be saved and used in future works!
