Carving a Bear out of Epoxy Resin and Wood
Рет қаралды 1,881,777
2 жыл бұрынI poured 9 gallons of epoxy resin along with various species of wood and power carved it into a bear sculpture. I first milled walnut, mahogany, white oak, poplar, redwood and pine. I used various woodworking tools to get them all identical in thickness. I then used Mas epoxy 'Deep pour X' to pour all 9 gallons of resin over the course of 3 weeks. Once cured, I carved the massive block by using a chainsaw, angle grinder, die grinder and various sanding tools. There were a lot of challenges along the way but I am beyond pumped with how this sculpture turned out. Let me know what you guys think in the comments! #woodcarving #sculpture #howto

That was awesome. I really appreciate the effort and artistic skill this takes, because I wasn't a carver until my grandkids started wanting Pokémon characters. First they wanted a Pikachu, and then a Charizard, and a great white shark in the mix too. I coated the shark in clear epoxy but with glow in the dark pigments so it turned out REALLY ominous and sinister like an albino shark. The Charizard has roughly 100 hours in it - carving everything out of oak pallet wood. And I gave all the characters magnetic arms (fins for the shark) so you can articulate them, swap them - do whatever with them (including lose them too unfortunately :( ) . But the grandkids are happy, and I can replace whatever they lose. I love the bear though! I wish I had the artistic part you have. I can carve but the real life objects (shark, tulips, dolphin) look off. You nailed it however.

That is absolutely amazing! Beautifully done! You made that look a whole lot easier than it was. Just the 9 gallons of epoxy resin would have had me a nervous wreck and unable to carve it out of fear of screwing it up! There's no way I'd trust myself taking a chainsaw to it! This is my first time visiting your channel and I hit all the buttons so I'll be on a binge watching more!

Here's a thought: put a sculpture within your sculpture. For the bear, you can stack silhouettes of trees/etc.to make up a wilderness scene within its body. You can float birds/leaves/etc. on the various layers of resin so they can 'fly'.
@BMSculptures 2 жыл бұрын
That is a really good idea. I may have to try that sometime. Especially if I have a woodsy animal like a bear/ wolf ect..

@@BMSculptures I'm glad you like it. You can also 'slice' your sculpture to be mounted on a wall. That would not only take up less floor space, but would use half the materials. ...or literally slice it and have two sculptures. (...and if you *REALLY* want to go all-out, you can figure out how to use 'Pepper's Ghost' to add in 'forest spirits'/etc. 'Black 3.0' would help with that.)
