#Epoxy #wood #carving . I carve a human torso out of a massive block of epoxy resin and wood. I sculpted the torso using a chainsaw, angle grinder and die grinder. I used English Walnut, Brazilian Rosewood, White Oak, Cherry and Epoxy Resin. I used MAS Epoxy "Deep Pour" resin. Huge thank you to MAS epoxy for supporting this build. This was my very first chainsaw carving I have ever done. I am beyond happy with how the end result turned out and I cant wait to do something similar again.

GIVEAWAY!!! WE HAVE A WINNER! Congratulations to Roni Langley!!!
The block weighs 78.4 LBS!

    I’m guessing 73.8lbs, and second guess is 78.55lbs!! This build was amazing 😍😍😍 I’m drooling over this sculpture
  • Wow, that is gorgeous. I especially like the subtle ripples at the rib cage. So well done.
  • @peterlandin457
    I like how you got the ribs to "stick out", really made the whole model look realistic! Great work!
  • @TommyLikeTom
    It's crazy how much of this video is dedicated to simply creating the medium from which you carve your sculpture. Maximum respect.
  • @LokiDWolf
    I absolutely LOVE the detail you put into it. Not just curves but to put indents of the rib cage and the way the arm has a cut to show muscle tone, just incredible!!!
  • @Dreez76
    A gorgeous masterpiece. Whoever won this should be really happy.
  • @BigBenSax
    You sir, are an exceptional artist, absolutely adore the sculpture !
  • @Lisa-jh1os
    I really loved watching this I'm utterly impressed by how talented and thoughtful this project was.. I'm used to being impressed by furniture but a sculpture is awesome. Really inspired to go make something with wood.
  • @user-to3mx9ox8p
    as my husband said: a talented person will make a gorgeous thing out of any crap. It's super professional. Very aesthetically pleasing, very beautiful, such a thing will decorate any interior. My great-grandfather was a wood craftsman, but unfortunately he did not pass his craft on to his children.
  • @Dumdumshum
    The exact weight is 78.4 pounds. You can see the reflection on the epoxy.
  • This is a true work of art. I don't think I've seen a better sculpture.
  • @mattwince9
    This is absolutely stunning! I love the choice of wood! I would guess it weighs 67.4 lbs. Fantastic!
  • WOW! That's incredible work! I'd be very proud to display something like this in my home, especially if I made it myself. Great job!
  • "That's some thicc epoxy man!!" Once again, I just cannot stress enough how superbly talented you are!!!! I am in love with you work!!
  • @tatchik77
    Hand planing is so very satisfying! I love the feel, the noise & of course the curls of wood!
  • @lunsumdawg
    Pretty much all I can say is wow 😳. That's a lot of work patience and I bet the model you used was even more gorgeous. The talent God has given you is in your entire being.
  • @ChaseAlder
    I am glad to have been able to stumble upon this video. Dude..This is amazing!! I am inspired! I am going to try to do some epoxy resin pours because of you. Thank you. My guess is 63.79 lbs.
  • @TOXICSHARK35
    That turned out absolutely gorgeous! I love the rib details and the sharp piece of wood on its right side sticking into the epoxy. Beautifully done!
  • @rondail5675
    I find the sculpture amazing. The talent to do it is also amazing. My father-in-law did paintings and portraits which is also amazing. He was a jewelry model maker which carved, grinded, and sanded, from lead-tin metal.
