I wish I could take credit for the idea but it was a commissioned piece, so it was the customers idea! Super fun and whimsical carving, I enjoyed every minute!

Great point 💛

Thank you Jenna, back at you! Loved your Po panda carving, he’s badass 🐼❤️

Thank you very much! 😊

It was a fun commission for sure! Thank you for the encouragement 😊

This was a commission! The odd ball requests are my absolute FAVORITE! Like when will I get to carve a flamingo and polar bear again 😂

Thank you thank you ☺️🐻‍❄️🦩

This was one of my first ever commissions! Was a super fun project for a fun family! I mean, a polar bear and a flamingo, how many people get to carve that! It was an awesome opportunity!

That's so awesome, not the combo I would ever come up with but you made it work!

Thanks! 😊

Thank you, this was one of my favorite carves! 😊

Crazy right?!? I have been working really hard to improve so thank you for noticing my progress, that means a lot! I don’t think many people know that I held my first chainsaw ever just 5 months ago 😂 I appreciate the support 💛

Thank you thank you! It was a fun project! I’m eager to carve another polar bear, he was so fun to carve 😊

Thank youuuu 😊🌲

I appreciate that! Super fun clients and an awesome commission for sure! 🐻‍❄️🦩

Aww thank you for the support, mucho appreciated!! I plan to get a gas saw this spring! I might order a quart tip very soon here! Would love a dime tip but I have been told that you should not run a dime tip with electric saws since they run full throttle, and all I have is electric right now. So once I have a small gas saw I’ll get a cannon dime tip :)

I’m actually a registered nurse that decided I’d rather carve cute animals 😂 I have always loved drawing but was always to busy to do anything more then doodle on the side of my notes through out schooling! I have taken a huge leap of faith and dropped my comfortable career as a RN to pursue carving full time! So far I have not regretted this decision and have loved every moment and every challenge! I love my corded saw, I have a battery one as well but my CS1500 is my go to. As my carvings have gotten larger I have had a really hard time blocking out with my CS1500…which is to be expected I guess haha! I plan to get a gas saw in the near future to block out, the use the corded for detail! I have never even held a gas saw so I’m very excited for that!

@@TayMarie23 I'm in Ny and had an inquiry from someone in Oregon that wants a Bald Eagle. Am I correct that that is your area? I will send them a link to your channel if you want to carve an eagle.It would save them a lot of shipping

You are a fellow east coaster!! I live in northern Maine! 🌲

@@TayMarie23 OK my mistake.I guess they wouldn't save much on shipping.Ha. Keep up the good work.

Hahaha thank you! It’s been quite fun learning this art form! ☺️

I just looked up his work, how beautiful! It will be many years until I reach that level of talent! Thank you for the kind words, I plan to continue for years to come!

It was such a fun carve and the clients were awesome and fun to work with! I was stoked when I got a phone call asking if I could carve a polar bear holding a flamingo 😂 And yes, baby steps in the right direction! Thank you for the support 🙌🏼

@@TayMarie23 That's awesome! I think the majority of people that buy or commission a chainsaw carving do it because they love the creativity of the artist. And as the artist you love the challenge! A fun client definitely has to make it more enjoyable! You're welcome. Won't be long and you'll have 100k subscribers! ☺

It was a grind just to get to 1000 subs 😂 It would be a dream to have KZfaq be a majority of my income on day! It would allow me to slow down and focus on fewer but bigger and better carvings instead of trying to pump out inventory between commissions to make ends meet! I would love to get to that point one day! Till then I’ll enjoy the grind 😉!

@@TayMarie23 I totally get it, I've been doing this for 2 years and I'm still just sitting at 780. Granted, most of my content has been live streams from my fishing trips, and without a ton of exciting catches, I can't expect a lot 🤣 I always wanted to start a channel making videos showing me making my artwork, but it took finding the catfishing community to get me started on here, and they also inspired me to get back to my artwork after 10 years of not being able to make any new pieces. I haven't learned to edit video yet and have been bad about recording things. So good production videos people will want to watch haven't happened yet, but will happen in the future! I've recently incorporated wood into my work. It's not awesome carving, but the shaping is still very satisfying. My next piece to be finished has a base made out of Zebrawood with back-lit plexiglass. I have to get it finished in the next 3 weeks and shipped to Kentucky to be presented early February. I'll make sure you get to see it when it's done 😊 I look forward to seeing your channel grow as well as your skills! I've seen a number of artists channels grow exponentially in no time, and I think you'll take off like wildfire pretty soon! Maybe when I get caught up on some pieces, I'll make a gift for your channel 😃 Sorry about writing a book, I can talk like no other when there's someone to listen lol

Getting to 1000 subs is hard man, it’s a huge hurtle! Most KZfaq creators I have talked to said getting from 0 to 1000 subs was harder then going from 1000 to 10,000! All that matters is that you enjoy making the content you are releasing, the audience will come with time 👌🏼

It is growing, I’m so grateful for that! Feels like I was celebrating 100 subs just yesterday haha! Thank you for the support 💛

i was shock to did a great job then now wow ads is there and i can say congratulations since u start we meet like u got 10subs now is running

You are too kind haha! I actually do have a greenworks 16” battery saw, haven’t used it enough to have an opinion yet but I VERY much disliked the EGO 18” battery saw. You can actually see a few scenes in this video where I’m using the EGO…I returned it 😂

@@TayMarie23Chainsaw Jenna channel has a review of the Stihl MSA 120c battery chainsaw you might be interested in especially for the detail carving. I have three Stihl gas saws MS170, MS180c, 028AV Woodboss that I speak highly of that are used here on my farm. Happy carving!

@larrywheeler9797 I love Chainsaw Jenna's videos, I believe I have actually watched the exact video you are speaking of! Most of it comes down to funding right now, otherwise I would have myself all the good stuff haha! Gotta save up for a truck this winter and I just had to buy a shelter to carve under to make that happen! I plan to make most my upgrades this spring :)

@@TayMarie23Funding is always a issue. Your doing beautiful miracles with the tools at hand TayMarie. Maybe a Patreon account or such for those of us who may want to help fund your artistic dreams ahead. Can’t hurt. Have I said your AMAZING!!! 😊

You are too kind!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Thank you Ramu, can always count on you for the support 💛

Yes I am, Northern / Central Maine! I would die to carve some west coast wood though! Jealous of that big red cedar over there! 😂

@@TayMarie23 ahh yes I'm in jersey. I thought I had to deal with cold. I don't carve much in this weather but it's been nice

It’s definitely been rather difficult, but nothing like they get in Canada! I have a small 12x12 open shelter I built last month to keep me out of the rain at least! I plan to upgrade it as I have the funds to do so :) Was just in NJ 2 weeks ago, visited Manhattan to see the big Christmas tree 🌲

🐻‍❄️🦩😉🌲

I have not! A big cat of some sorts is definitely on the list of must dos! And since I do almost all custom order work I’m at the mercy of what’s ordered and no one has ordered a raccoon! So weird, I think they are adorable!

Raccoons are adorable. They're like mischievous Cats with hands as they go about and mess around with things.
