Mike we are just blown away!!! you nailed it brother. Just amazing how you captured such a life like Bushmaster in your carving. And nobody knows them like I know them.
@@johnfattig6937 Yes, thank you for asking. When I have one that isn't already spoken for I announce it to those who have subscribed to my newsletter on stinnettsticks.com first, and post it there, for sale.
I have been trying to get Willy to show some very close up shots of bush master scales for awhile with no luck, where did you find them? Beautiful work!
Mike I really enjoy the videos. Give Pearl a pat on the head for us guys deep in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. I’m recently retired. From the Lead Mines here. And now that I have time. I’m working on Stick #2. I gotta say #1 was fun but I’m embarrassed as to how it looks. I purchased my tools from Treeline like you mentioned. Good folks there really helpful especially that PJ Peery. Good personal service. I let them know I was following your lead. Bought your book and am really enjoying carving your style. Hopefully my mistakes disappear with time. Keep the videos coming.
No matter what and how skilled the last project was you still outdo yourself and amaze me even more. I am only 41 but walk with a stick as I broke my spine and these ‘sticks’ are a hell of a lot cooler than aluminium ones. Awesome videos, thank you 🦾
I always love watching you work on your craft, it's so relaxing and inspiring to see you create something that will be in people's families for generations! You are so talented and I cannot wait to see what you do next!
Who would think of adding resin to make scales taller but Mike Stinnett??? Your skills know no bounds Mike and your pal Pearl is a constant friend with patience. Fantastic snake 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you, John! I'm glad I discovered UV resin. I've been using it for the gloss on the eyes, but I'm finding all kinds of other uses for it. Take care my friend!
I love how we not only get to watch you create an amazing walking stick, but we learn more about the species on it!!! Give Pearl a pat for me!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Please Dad! Trying to finish my nap! 🐍🐶🙈 So many scales! A symphony in patience! I look on in wonder Mike... and you never cease to captivate us all! So inspirational! Love and hugs to you and sweet Pearl 🐶😎❤️ and all the family... love always enjoy yourselves 🌟💛🌟
I love how you seem to outdo yourself every single time. I love your attention to detail and it’s obvious that you love your craft. Your carvings always look amazing and I love to watch your videos. Have an amazing day man
Amazing as always, Mike! Having studied under Dean Ripa, I’ve worked with many of those beauties. I wish he were here to see your work! Hope you’re well, my friend!
A beautiful stick. I love how realistic it is and the contrast between the stick and the snake... Like they were made separately even though they weren't. You're a very talented person. I could watch you work and listen to you talk all day. Thanks for sharing.
It's not in my nature to leave positive comments but with these videos I can't help myself. 10/10 as always, the detail and work put into these always shows. These videos are always relaxing and a joy when they pop up in my subscriber list.

Every time I think you can’t blow my mind anymore….you put out a video like this!!! I’m so amazed by your talent! Thank you so much for sharing your art!
Your skill and attention to detail is amazing. It’s therapeutic to watch you work. I would love to see you crave an Eastern Diamondback. Thanks for sharing your work.
I have sat for hours watching you and your best friend. You're patience and attention to detail is remarkable. Your creativity is off the charts and your eyes see what most take for granted. I am very impressed and am soo glad that you decide to share this gift with the world. Thank you. I wonder if you might be interested in carving out a Gaboon viper. I think perhaps the most beautiful of them all in my opinion.
Loved the video Mike, I'm always amazed at the lengths you go to get the amazing detail you add into your carvings. Just when I thought you couldn't possibly out do yourself any more you prove me wrong. Thanks for the video.
Mike that's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I told Willy I was getting chills just watching it come to life. I really enjoy watching your videos, but especially listening to them- your voice and your music is perfection. I especially love this one because this species is our specialty, so getting your shout-out was just so exciting (It was awesome that you know our Venom Central channel) I love your videos, and I especially love watching sweet 🐾Pearl. Seeing how perfectly you captured the fierceness of the Lachesis melanocephala, it is just amazing. Thank you for choosing to make the Black-headed Bushmaster and adding it as one of your masterpieces, a truly beautiful work of art! 🙏
Thank you very much, Deena! Your channel is great for reference For a lot of different vipers. I appreciate being able to study the snakes you have. Keep up the great work! I'm glad you enjoy my videos, it means a lot to me! Thanks again!
Stunning Sir using the UV Resin to raise the scales was a genius move, Im always amazed at the level of detail you put into your creations. They all look so life like wonderful work Mike & thank you for sharing 😀
Nice one Mike. That bit of resin on top of every scale looks like it would of taken SOOO much extra time, but the effect was worth it. Great job as always!
I and others would love to have realistic models of various snakes for display purposes. Your work is exquisite! I am sure that museums across the world would love to have such beautiful and realistic models for display.
Thank you very much for another great video, Mr. Stinnett. You have quite a talent for detail- the walking stick looks just like the snake, scales and all! And the process is very relaxing to watch, as always. I hope you and yours are well, take care.
Mr. Stinnett you are very talented I purchased your book and it is really helping me you are very talented thank you. Your talent will not go unseen, just listening to the sounds of carving and nature sooth the soul
Oh my word Mike, you are a true master craftsman, your work is simply fabulous…..thank you so much….much love to you and your family and pearly whirly from South Africa
This is my favorite carving of yours. The craftsmanship goes without saying, but that Lodgepole pine staff is absolutely beautiful. We are all fortunate to be able to see your talent!
Mike- I know you have made some outstanding walking sticks but this to me is your very best. You got to be proud. I see pearl is holding your lap down again. Tell family hello for me. You take care my friend
The bushmaster you carved is not only magnificent to behold, Mike, but magnificently frightening as well. Your videos are entertaining, informative, and extremely well produced. And they have something special that no other RU-vid channel has. Little Pearl!
Hello there, Mike, That is a handsome snake you carved there. I like the way you are able to make something that your tools can't do for you. I was so surprised to see you using resin to make those makrs on the snake a bit higher. YOu have a fabulous imagination.Anyway, it was nice to see you do a stich on one of the Bushmasters. I really wouldn't like to come into contact with the business end of one of those snakes. Thank you for taking the time to make something different for us to enjoy. YOu blew me away, as usual. Well Mike, the hated summer months have come and gone. It was a really brutal summer this year. It started early and went on late into September. Now it is just comfortably warm outside, but it gets cold inside, so we put the furnace on today. I hope you are enjoying the weekend, my friend and I wish you well for the new week when it comes. Sending out some warm hugs and love to you and may God continue to bless myou as is fitting for thos who love Him and are called accoring to His purpose. Liz. xoxo
God I love that walking stick I can imagine how many hours went into that thing good Lord that is just beautiful I could imagine the price of one of those something that I can never afford
Fantastic as usual Mike, so perfect! I liked seeing that knife/rasp tool you used for a clean, deep undercut, very handy! Just out of interest have you ever counted how many scales you carve on your snakes? Keep up your wonderful videos to inspire us all!
Pearl is essential to carving since she is the cutest tool rest you'll ever see but her tiny bodies warmth is good for Mike's knees and hands while he works...
Mike my friend !! You are the master of detail !!!! There is nothing to match your work !!! God bless you ! And Pearl and your wife ! Your friend from Arkansas till next time 🤗
Beautiful and scary snake.He is a very thick and big one. You are the best. Love watching you work. Give Pearl a hug for me. She is a very good sweet dog.
Incredibly lifelike! Your work is always, always so realistic that I’m sure people hesitate to reach for your canes, out of sheer instinct. I have a childhood friend & veteran who moved to Costa Rica and has had many encounters with this amazingly dangerous snake. He said they’re so cryptic, you will almost never see them until you’re right on them, but said they have a very specific smell to them and he always listens to his nose when out and about.
@@StinnettSticks - You’re absolutely correct, Mr. Stinnett. My friend said there’s no surviving even a grazing bite, because medical help is simply too far away and he believes there’s no anti-venom serum, anyway. God bless and stay safe! 💯🇺🇸❣️
WOW.. all that extra sure did turn out to a whole lot of extra pop and texture.. That snake ain't no joke.. and man I sure do get nerby when you put them touches on the eyes and they "come to life" and your hand is right there.. lol.. Well done.. always a treat and always an amazing product .. tryly talented.
