I am looking forward to seeing it in person on our next visit. It is an honor for me to know such a great artisian.
We're looking forward to your visit, Jane! I can't wait for you to see it in person! Thank you for everything!
There is simply no words. This is beyond a walking stick. This is a work of art and should be treated as such.
Thank you, Rocky!
Needs a glass "walking stick case" so no one ever touches it! Lol
Like your name , it's my real name 🤙
After watching you for years and learning.I would only have one issue with your work and that being how could you ever part with any of them.The bond you create has to run deep just like having children.Thanks for sharing 😊
It’s wonderful to see you and Pearl back again - always a great pleasure. The amount of painstaking work you put into this was incredible. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent.
Thank you very much, Jude! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Beyond the incredible beauty of this piece, seeing you trying new things and growing as an artist and knowing this is a project you’ve wanted to make is incredibly satisfying and I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time.
Thank you very much! I really did enjoy this project and learned a few new tricks. So glad that you enjoyed it!
@Stinnett Sticks Hello Mike , so good to see you and Pearl and you doing new things . It looks awesome and very authentic. I was thanking about you the other day ( 5/4/2023 ) I haven't seen you in a while and I didn't know if I could reach you or not lol . Your work Is so enjoyable to watch and is very relaxing. Keep up the good work , always enjoy seeing you and little Pearl .Happy Trails 👣
You have once again rendered me speechless with your art, Mike! Such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and talent. I love this so much! I hope you and your family are doing well.
Thank you, kindly, Lia! We are doing good! Best wishes to you, too!
I am a wood carver also and have done many fish, birds and small animals but you, sir, are EXCEPTIONAL to say the least! I can appreciate the time and effort that you put into all of your art work! I love your videos and am always looking forward to your next one.
Thank you very much, Dennis!
Your videos never fail to impress, but this one wowed me like nothing else. Absolutely beautiful. I love the gold leaf inlay, the multiple pieces of lumber to really drive home the seperateness of the lizards and multitude of textures all of which look so amazingly intricate. Some people dream of owning a fancy car or a massive television, I dream of owning a Stinnett Stick. Also a shout out to the videography and editing that does a fantastic job of showcasing your skill in action as well as setting the tone of relaxed but focussed, whilst helping to create the narrative of your acts of creation.
Thank you very much, Geoff, and thanks from my wife and daughter! ( the crew)
"You said it all. Thanks."
Sir, i can understand the extreme hard work you do without any makeup. Everything is on camera. Time consuming, exhausting, brain draining. Hours and hours of patient hard work. Respect
Just blows my mind to hear you say that you didn't have the nerve to carve that until now. That piece is AMAZING sir
Thank you, Paul!
My day was really going downhill, seeing this helped. Thanks Mike.
God gave you a beautiful gift.
You just get better and better... I'm lost for words Mr. Stinnett. Give pearl a hug from me =) She's such a beautiful girl.
Thank you kindly! Will do!
The lizards, the carving are just heart-breakingly beautiful.
Amazing carving. I really enjoy your videos. They are well done. I can appreciate the immense amount of hours that goes into the level of detail you put into your sculptures
Thank you very much!
There are many master craftsmen in the world but only you can resurrect a dead log and turn it into a masterpiece. You have the gift of transferring part of your soul to each wood and it rewards you. Congratulations.
There are really no words… the skin folds, the skin stretched over ribs, the way the skin tightens and loosens based upon the angle of the lizard… simply amazing detail.
The word Exquisite doesn’t actually do this work of art justice. Beautifully done!
The best wood carving I've ever seen in my entire life... I'm very impressed with the details, whether the chameleon is really made of wood. I love this uncle...😍😍😍😍
I would love to have an apprenticeship under this man… the smell of sawdust and clean air.. enjoying a cup of coffee and petting the pup… the stories this man could tell…
If museums could only buy it, so this masterpiece would be available for everybody to see, what human hands can make and esthetically enjoy this beyond-belief exhibit. My congratulations to the author!
Love, Love, Love. The world needs more of you.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ONE PERSON TO HAVE THAT MUCH TALENT... I LOVE YOUR WORK...I LOVE YOU MIKE!
Thank you, Ivan!
Mike, your artistic creations are genuine masterpieces in my eyes, and this one of the cholla skeleton's roots gripping a vein of gold-bearing quartz and serving as a perch for a pair of collared lizards is a concert of masterpieces. It's utterly breathtaking! As ever, the production quality of your videos is absolutely superb! 👍👍👍
Thank you very kindly, Noah! I appreciate that!
Майк, это шедевр! Премного благодарен за эту культуру!
Pearl is doing her job too. The birds ,dear just beautiful
Beautiful piece of art. As an artist myself, i also commend your patience. The unfinished art pile grows ever more daily
I've always loved collared lizards. The cholla looks so real; the lizards even more so. I just want to play with them like toys.
Those little reptiles look to nice to be on a walking stick; they would be a beautiful piece of decor that would live on someone's desk or bay window.
Either way, they are so incredible.
Also loved the position the robin was in. The berries appeared like flowers behind its ears.
You’re a craftsman mate. Pure and simple. I cannot imagine how to improve your work. Sheer perfection.
Thank you very much!
Well this is great as usual mate. 3 months?! I didn't realise it took that long! Amazing :)
I added a mention of you on my community page. I think you are an actual master craftsman and I hope you get the recognition you deserve mate.
The great art work you produce and peaceful videos are a breath of fresh air in today's uncivilized world.
Myself and many others appreciate your work.
Thank you, Ken! I'm glad you enjoy them!
I'm eternally grateful for every one of your videos Mike. Such a great way to wind down for the evening. Thanks for continuing with the great videos.
You're very welcome, Joseph. I sure appreciate your kind comments!
I honestly felt like I watched a true craftsman create a living breathing wonder of nature. Truly special
Thank you Ian!
Боже. Как живые. 😳. Браво мастеру 👏 спасибо что поделились с нами .
Feels like it's been too long since I've seen Stinnett and Pearl carving. Simultaneously, the most inspiring and calming videos on all of TH-cam.
Thank you very much, Nick!
Nature and art, it can’t get any better than this, you are the Robert Bateman of sculpture
Thank you very kindly!
Every time you stretch it even further. You are and will always be a fantastic craftsman with skills that are beyond. It's difficult to express how skilled you are.
Thank you kindly, Ronnie!
It would seem to me an insult if I called you a master at your craft. You sir are one of a kind. Thank you for the joy you brought to my day and may God continue to bless you.
Thank you Stephen and God bless you too!
Seeing the things that you create is like a double edged sword. Should I try to improve? Or simply give up?
Your ability to create what many never see, is uncanny.
You are definitely an inspiration ,as well as talented beyond my comprehension.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, Darrel! Don't give up. It just takes a lot of hours of work to add the details.
From the fitting to the carving to the painting Mike incredible craftsmanship. Give Pearl a little scratch for me hope you been doing some fishing .
Thank you, Glen! I've gone out a few times but haven't done very well. The river is too high, now. As soon as it goes down I'm going to get out there and sling some bait. I hope you get some good fishing in too!
I can’t even comprehend the amount of patience it must take to produce such meticulously realistic artwork. Also, thanks again for the 15 minutes of peace.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The more I watch your videos the more amazed I am with your truly unbelievable talent, simple stunning work.
Thank you very much!
I will tell you every time I see your work, you are a singular talent. It's just incredible. Thank you for sharing your videos, it's my absolute pleasure to view them.
I'm real glad you enjoy them, Jason! Thank you kindly!
Beautiful Work again Mike! All those tiny scales, WOW!, and that little touch of gold in the quartz vein is spectacular!
Thank you very much, Curt!
OMG what artistry. They look so real, like they they are going to start crawling away. Words cannot express how impressed I am and how beautiful that piece really is. AMAZING!!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
Շատ հաճելի է դիտել վարպետի աշխատանքը։ Շնորհակալություն ։ Ողջույն Հայաստանից։
Amazing!!! Those lizards were so lifelike, I thought they would start moving at any second. Truly amazing!!!
Thank you, Andrew!
Brilliant work! The lizards are amazing but the way you created the cholla root is just incredible. And then you added the gold! Beautiful job as ever. Congratulations on another stunner.
Thank you very much, Karla!
I'm Brazilian and I watch your videos a lot I have a very good realism in your sculptures congratulations much success my friend
Love your carvings and your storytellers voice ❤
Thank you, Carla!
Wow Mike... just wow. I think you and Pearl deserve a trout fishing trip after that
Thank you, Brad! I think you have the right idea!
Your art is simply stunning! Those lizards look so lifelike it looks as if they could crawl away. The amount of intricate details you put into your work is amazing and the final result is beautiful. Great video.😊
Just waiting for those critters to turn and run up your arm…….FANTASTIC!
Absolute artistry looks like it's been pluked up and put there from nature. Beautiful craftsmanship.
This should be encased in resin and preserved in a museum forever. I'm mind blown
Thank you, Nicholas!
I remember finding your channel when I was going through a really rough time mentally, maybe 2 or 3 years ago.. These videos would really take my mind off stuff and help me to relax. Struggling again, idk where I'm going, I feel beyond lost and alone, but the music, stories, nature, and even little Pearl help to calm me down, once again. Thank you, Sir 🤞
Well said. I was exactly the same 3 years ago, and watching this channel helped me a lot and was also amazed with his amazing art.
@born2 it's just the perfect amount of peaceful, for me 👌 Hope you're doing better now 🤞

You sir are a master of your craft! I'm am in awe of the work and effort it took to make this masterpiece. For never trying it before you sure as hell fooled us all! Thank you for sharing!
I am absolutely haw by your talent and your patience at adding small details in sculpture and painting. This stick his an amazing masterpiece!
Thank you very much!
Finally the return of my favorite channel... And it was worth the wait, because I'm always more impressed by so much talent and know-how. Another masterpiece in your achievements... A big congratulations to you, a huge thank you for these timeless moments that do us so much good to the soul and of course, tons of caresses to the little dog.

Your love for your art and attention to detail is beyond phenomenal!!! I’ve watched every one of your TH-cam videos and every one is better that the last.

Thank you, Rodney! God bless you too my friend!
Do you ever fall in love with a piece of art while you're working on it and decide to keep it for yourself? I'm not sure I could ever let anything go if it was as beautiful as the art you create.
By the time I finally get one finished I'm glad to see it get into the hands of a collector. I used to get attached to them, but not anymore. I just look forward to getting started on the next project.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
I have been carving for 49 years and you sir are l8ke nothing I have ever seen before. Keep up the great work my carving brother much love ❤❤❤
Nice to see another video. I see Pearl is still a good helper.
I love the beautiful bright colors that the lizards have
Sir this is so awesome watching you make this walking stick.all your work should be in a museum .
Thank you very much, Timothy!
Simple way of living your life with your own comfort. No running to go to office, no fear to losing your salary. Just leave them all behind and say Hello to Life ❤
My god Mike you are incredible It’s just unbelievable the scale of your talent....John from Ireland God bless..
I can't say anything. You are a high level artist and I don't see any differences from other famous artists known all over the world. Painter, sculptor, woodworker. Everything at a high level. Also a man of nature which I also love. I love wood. BRAVO-RESPECT.
