It never ceases to blow me away, when I consider that you burn every single scale and then paint every single scale, individually. The zen concentration, steady hand and knowledge of wildlife it takes to do that so masterfully, for each different species of snake, fish, (etc) is truly stunning.
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!

If it's was me ,I'll probably give up .
I feel privileged to experience a small part of your world, and watch you make absolutely the most wonderful pieces!
Thank you for showing us x
Thank you very much, Natasha!
You sir are a master of your craft. The level of art you put into every carving, big or small, is amazing. Pure art. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you very much, Josh!
There's magic in your craft
I have to say, Mr Stinnet, and please don't take it the wrong way, as a slightly younger fella startingout in carving, you are my goal when I'm older. A peaceful life, somewhere by or in the woods, and carving, right down to having my own dog to follow me around. Very much love and respect for you good sir!!!
It's always a treat, Mike, when a new video gets posted and I get to see you and Pearl and get to marvel once more at the new piece of art you've chosen to create. As ever, these productions are superb. The content, the camera work, the editing, and the background music are absolutely first-rate professional quality. Kudos to you and the crew, and a pat on the head to Pearl.
Thank you very much from all of us, Noah!
Hey! I’m 17, recently fell ill and started walking with a stick. I’ve been watching your videos because I’m not sure why, but seeing walking sticks being made into something as incredible and artistic as this just fills me with joy. I adore the personality each stick has and would one day love to have one of my own - I’ll keep a lookout on your shop for any new sticks you make!
You make something that is so hard for many into something hopeful. I hated having to walk with a stick at first, but seeing artworks like this just fills me with enthusiasm 😊 you’re incredible!!
I love seeing Pearl sitting with her dad while he produces a masterpiece.
It always makes my day when your videos are released. Thanks
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Cant express how happy this will make me. Alabama is a huge fan.
Thank you, Bobby!
Hi Mike, hope you’re well, it’s always amazing to watch how you give a second life to the wood, your one of my favorite artists, watching you here how you work is also absolutely relaxing, thanks and have a great weekend, Taro
Thank you very much, Taro! I'm doing well. I hope you have a great weekend also. It's good to hear from you my friend!
@@StinnettSticks Thanks for your kind response Mike👍
love that "second life to the wood" brother. Godbless you.
@@josephGarcia-np8kr thanks Joseph
Ah, the longest awaited upload. Perfect timing, Mike!
Thank you, Joseph!
Hello Mike! Hope you and your family are doing well. I always love seeing how you give wood a natural twist! Your art is just incredible and so mesmerizing to watch. You are by far my favorite artist and wood carver! Thank you for always sharing your beautiful work with us!
Thank you, Lia! We are all doing very well. I appreciate you kind words!
Nice one mate. I can't wait to watch this. I have wild rose stems I've saved for 11 years, around 2" diameter, 3 to 5ft long. I'm now saving the carving for the blackouts I expect soon. Learned a lot from your work. It'll be something to do with no power. Your videos are doing more good than you know mate. Thanks.
From the UK.
Thank you! Wow, those are large rose stems! I'll bet they will be beautiful carved!
@@StinnettSticks They grew near the sea on the dunes near Southport, North West England. It was cleared as part of a nature project... and I saved the stems. They were the tallest roses I've ever seen. Much taller than the usable parts I kept. Such a shame. So I want them to be used for something decent and they will be. I have 2 of them stripped of bark and oiled. 1 as a walking stick and the other a bow staff. They look great. I just used olive oil on them. I have around 20 more.
You are the only person who reads every comment with the same care as works with the surface of the tree. Thank you for being mindful of the little things.
You're very welcome, and thank you too!
Absolutely amazing Mike. I can't imagine how many days go into making your beautiful creations.
Thank you very much, Kath!
Two things,,, 1- When you sat in the rocker next to the wood stove, I felt a little warmer myself. It brought back childhood memories of a time when everyone had a freestanding wood stove or oil furnace taking up floor space. 2- When you were test driving the cane and walking towards the camera, there were milliseconds where it indeed looked like a real snakes body limply swinging in cadence. Good Stuff!! Thanks for the video!!
Hello from Ukraine. I have been watching your videos for many years and I am very grateful to you for making them. They are full of peace and kindness. This music, voice, your sweetest dog, you and your works are very inspiring and comforting. Thanks!
you're very welcome! Thank you kindly! Take care, and be safe my friend!
I’m forever blown away by your talent & ability to see & get every tiny detail, color & texture so realistic & anatomically correct! You’re just amazing & so is Pearl! I always look forward to seeing her!💚 She looks like she’s eating well too lol!
What a great video, not only shows great workmanship and patience, but the bond with the dog. Just gave me peace to watch this. Thank you
You and your dog are awesome! I love your work and seeing you having fun.
👍thank you .sir your work is great.
Thank you!
Sir, if the world had just a tenth of your patience, we would all live in a much better place. Thank you for your calm. And I love your little supervisor is there every step of the way.
Thank you, Suzanne!
Never EVER have I seen an artist as precise, and patient as yourself. Exquisite work.
Thank you kindly, Rick!
As always, I am amazed by the realism that you can achieve!!!
I also love your self portrait sculpture in your living room!!! 😁
your videos really makes me calm.. I have anxiety disorder and watching your videos slows me down and makes me wanna rest. thanks!
This is, I don't have the words. The most beautiful piece of art of a cane I ever seen.
Glad to see you and old Pearl girl are well! Love your work and your videos, amazing work as always, you’re an inspiration! Can’t wait to see your next one! God bless
Thank you, Christi! God bless you too!
I'm a very huge fan of everything you do and I love your work. Greetings from Russia!
Thank you very much, Alexander!
I love that this time around it's not a snake around a stick, the snake _is_ the stick and it works really well. Always a relaxing moment to watch you work :)
Thank you very much!
Another beautiful masterpiece Mike…love to Pearl 💕
Nice to see you back doing what you do so well Mike I always feel so calm watching you carve and little Pearl is truly a treasure another great video Mike until the next one regards to you all
Thank you, John! It's good to here from you! Take care my friend, and I hope you enjoy a beautiful springtime! I'll see you on the next one!
the art, music, and flow of the video are all amazing, but im always especially excited for the little clips of Pearl! shes so sweet!
Thank you so much!!
People use the word awesome way too often, but your work is nothing short of awe inspiring. I always look forward to your next video. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you very much, Jason!
I'm going through a heartbreak and the calm nature of your videos simply make me feel better, so thank you for that mr Stinnett. But you also got me worried there was no "and I'll see you on the next one".
I'm sorry for your trouble, James. Glad my video helped a bit. Don't worry, I will be making more videos. I just forgot to say that at the end. Take care my friend and I'll see you on the next one!
Brother, watching these just never gets old. God bless, all the best to you and Pearl.
Thank you, Luke!
Watching your videos is my quiet time. I get a drink, sit in my favourite chair, get a cat or two on my lap and tell my husband not to disturb me. I press the play button and watch the magic take place.
It's always amazing to see such beauty and realism come to life from a ratty, old, dead piece of wood. The banjo music plays in the background, as time looses itself as I watch you carve, etch, saw, pyrograph and paint life into the once lifeless stick, which now turns into a creature you would honestly believe was about to strike any second if you made the wrong move.
This is yet another piece of art that belongs in a museum, along with the Van Goghs, Renoirs, Turners and Rodin's.
The video finishes and time begins again, realty awakens and the magic I just witnessed is over. There's no smoking mirrors, no waving wands, and no rabbits in hats, but I know I've just seen something truly magical, truly astounding, and totally amazing be created from nothing. Thank you for making this video, and making our world a little more magical.
Absolutely stunning.
There is nothing I can say that has not already been said in these comments, but there is magic in those hands of yours.
So sick build!!!
That is beyond beautiful.

Hello my dear friend! I liked the video very much! I love when you show moments from your life. It's a pity that the video is short 🙂 Regards, greetings from Russia
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work! Thank you. I enjoyed every minute watching your puppy give you the inspiration to carve the cane!
Another stunning stick Mike! The incredible levels of artistry, craftsmanship and knowledge of subject that you put into these projects is spellbinding to say the least. Add to that Theresa's videography and Pearl's scene-stealing presence and these videos are truly remarkable! A sincere THANK YOU to the three of you for allowing us along on your incredible journey. Hope the three of you stay safe and healthy and I look forward to the next project! Garrett
