Turning a Log into a Snapping Turtle

Рет қаралды 7,527

Күн бұрын

Today we are turning a big old white pine log into a snapping turtle! Due to a change in the clients timeline, I started this project around mid winter and didn't finish it until this spring! This turtle will be presented by the client as a gift to some close friends of hers who have a meaningful story behind the snapping turtle.

Just amazes me how you can look at plain old log, visualize your idea, and create a masterful piece of art from it. You Rock with that chainsaw!

Wow he came out great. I love how his head is turned one way and the tail the other way. Makes him look like he can walk right off that rock at any moment!

I love how you've captured the essence of the snapping turtle with such detail and care. It's bound to bring joy and carry a heartfelt story. This snapping turtle isn't just a sculpture; it's a labor of love and a tribute to a special friendship. What a wonderful gift!

@TayMarie23 Ай бұрын

I don't know the story in detail, but you are definitely correct about there being a heartfelt story behind this piece. It's a memorial for a life that was lost too soon :( I hope this peace can help the family with their healing journey 💛

@macbirt56 Ай бұрын

This is awesome, as is most everything you do. But it made me think of a couple of downed tree trunks along side the road in Farmington, Me. Side by side as it gets dark they look just like an alligator coming out of the woods with its jaws agape. I'd love to see that, in case you are looking for ideas. 😂

Wow, that looks fantastic! You make it look so easy. I did end up making a mushroom. Holding the saw up for so long really made my arms tired and the saw started feeling like it weighed 100 pounds :-/ Anyway thanks for another great video.

@TayMarie23 Ай бұрын

I remember that feeling, I call it noodle arms lol! In a few of my earlier videos I mention it, these day I hold them up for around 6-9 hours a day, you just build up strength over time but it's still is one h*ll of a workout! 😅

I really appreciate the work you do. A lot of talent and skill you have. Questions for you- Are you an artist on paper or paints before getting into chainsaw carving? Did you get any books for tutorials or did you just dive right into it? Last question, what is the hardest part to get things to look right? Thank you for the videos. I find myself binge watching and hope I can pick up on some good tips how you do your carvings.

@TayMarie23 Ай бұрын

I was a registered nurse working on a ventilator unit prior to carving, big career path change haha! I got a cheap $90 electric saw off of Amazon and just gave it a try one day and really enjoyed it, so much so I made this my full time job! The hardest part is just getting started!

Fantastic Turtle Tay, love the colour shade you have given it to. P.S did you have problems getting the base to sit straight, i find it such a pain trying to get a piece to sit level after cutting it with a chainsaw.

I admire your artistic and carving skills! It came out great! Is it a combination of wood burning, paint and stain plus clear coat?

@TayMarie23 Ай бұрын

Yes yes and yes! I didn't get as much footage during the finish process as I would have liked. But yes, it's mostly torching with some stains for shadows and then 4 thinned down coats of Spar Urethane :)
