How to Color a Wood Carving Without Paint 

Sir, you are truly talented! However, what's more impressive is that in a world that seems so chaotic, impatient and busy all the time, you seem to have mastered patience and time management to perfection. That is an art in itself. Thank you for your videos!

Mr. Stinnett you are very talented and skilled at what you do, I'm not to good at carving but I do carpentry I'm not to bad with it, but you have a gift. WIth stuff such as your walking sticks I wish there was a way I could get one for my grandfather for Father's day

I'm running out of ways to express how much i respect and admire your artistry Mike! Your work is the pinnacle of what i would like to achieve!

I can't get enough of your carvings. You've inspired me to start my own.

When you watch Mike video, it's like you're entering another world. A world of kindness and tranquility.

“I’ve learned to take my time and be patient. I know that raccoon is in there somewhere”. Everyone around me talks about patience. Though when Mike says this, I finally truly understand patience. Love your work. You are an amazing artist. I hope to one day be as patient and as talented in my craft as you.

Mike as usual you and control expert has knocked it out of the park. I sure hope one day I can shake your hand my friend. Detail is amazing

Pearl’s little bark is the most precious thing I’ve ever heard 😍

I really like how the achievement of color has honored the wood. The combination of burning, staining, and torch paste is remarkable!

You finally have a new creation, no longer a scary snake, hope to make more cute animals

That was a "healthy" racoon! Must have had a few helpings of the spicy chicken. ;-) Love the carving. Beautiful work!

I could watch these all day

My friend, artist for me is you. When you can give life to what has no life. I love your works, what perfection. Congratulations

I wasn't feelin that good this morning and then my friend posts another beautiful display of his craft and saved the day!!! Thank you Mike and Pearl, there's nothing better than the unconditional love of our dogs. It's going to be an Awesome day now!!! Take care and God Bless you Mike 🙏 ~Jay~ 👍👍

Absolutely breath taking !! I almost expect him to move.

There’s talent and then there’s a gift. Sir, you are a gifted artist!

I’ve been watching this channel for years and I am always impressed.

Truly a master of your craft. Everytime my grandson sees me he wants to know if you have a new video. We love everything you do!!

There is not better artist on the planet than him! His work is perfection

I am only 16 and a beginner to wood carving, but your videos inspire me to continue this hobby so I can become as skilled as you!

Looks like a zen life, hope it is 🙂 Stunning work, the Michaelangelo of wood carving 😁

It’s almost as cute as Pearl!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There are few things that still inspire me on internet these days. You sir, are one of the few. Your work and mastery manage to surprise me and get me fascinated every time. Having sculpted and worked with the wood myself, I know how much work and patience you put in each of those little lines and the love and care you have for your work has my respect. With great admiration from Romania!

Been watching your videos for quite awhile, would love to sit and learn from a true craftsman

This is the kind of an American who really deserves to be respected. I admit it as a Russian. He's talented, loves his dog, creates beautiful art. I personally wish you to have a long life, plenty of health and inspiration for your awesome work.

Raccoon inside the wood "halp, let me out" 😅👍 a very nice result

Every time I watch your videos I’m amazed at your talent and could watch you all day. Thanks for everything you do!!!!!!!!

Torch paint?! What a fantastic idea! I'd never heard of it until now.

Mike, your talent and patience never ceases to impress me. And good job on the QC Pearl!

You have a lot of skill and a great deal of patience, also, pearl is a little sweetheart.

I absolutely love your work!

You never cease to amaze me! I am awestruck at every single video you post! You have an extraordinary talent Mr. Stinnett

Mike, the box is just beautiful. The raccoon is so realistic. Your creations never cease to bring a smile to my heart. 👍👍

That’s the first time I’ve ever heard pearl bark! So cute! The raccoon box looks so beautiful also, thanks for sharing!

Most talented carver I've ever seen!! Love your work!

I love your carvings and this channel. I already started sculpting a little on my own. I really want to start carving in wood. Thank you

Once again I find inspiration in your creative ingenuity. Thanks Mike for showing how that being patient can reap great rewards

Absolutely incredible as always!

Beautiful work Mike!

What an absolutely stunning piece. Thanks for sharing your artistry.

Love the box! Another great job. Great to see Pearl keeping you on track.

Wow I’m so envious of your talent, absolutely love your work 👌👌👌

You are an artist in every sense of the word. I wish you success, health and wellness

Absolutely fantastic and great to see something new!

So happy becoming new notifications from you. As usual again stunning carving and a relaxing video. Greetings from Germany. Stay healthy you and your adorable dog Pearl

A sunny spot, a lap nearby, and a sleepy Pearl sounds like she had a great day indeed on this one...

Your videos never fail to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing with us.

You are truely a master at ur craft...this is my favorite carving channel! Please dont ever stop posting vids!

You are my mentor in woodcarving...thank you

You are unbelievable. Love watching this channel.

Absolutely genius beautiful work can't wait for the next video

Many thanks Mike. It’s a lovely keepsake box.

I absolutely love watching you work you truly are a master at what you do great job sir

Absolutely gorgeous

I just discovered your channel 😊😊 just because I'm also trying to pick up wood carving and sculpting as a hobby.. But I must say I LOVE your work and love the whole western country and cowboy feel you provide within your videos.. Make me feel so relaxed and warm.. Much love from South Africa

Awesome project, thanks for sharing your talent and ideas. 👍🏼

Oh this hit the spot, Mike, and you did such a fine new way of coloring it. This is one of my most favorite pieces you have ever done. This is the sort of thing that I can't resist at a craft show. It's a sculpture, and a functional box all at once. I love it :-D I have a little raccoon plushie that I've had for 35 years at least, and it named itself Astro, which is not a name I would ever have thought of. This looks so much like Astro in a new medium that I actually blurted his name!!! Which is not a suggestion to name him that, as everyone has their own ideas. I hope you had a fine Easter and are enjoying Spring!!! God watch over you and your quality control manager, Pearl :-D

Yay ! Welcome back, you have been missed. Thank you for sharing your work.

Thanks for keeping it family friendly Mike! Some of us appreciate it more than you know.

Absolutely incredible, I’m always impressed. Glad to see Pearl is still up to her supervisory role. 🐾

That tiny dog is so cute

Number 2 I've seen. Just as amazing. You are an inspiration. Thanks.

Stunning carving Mike. Thanks for posting.

Amazing craftsmanship! Love your QC supervisor!

Mike you are a genius living the perfect life in my opinion. So talented, laid back and close to nature with little Pearl beside you while the stew cooks. It does not get any better.

I have no doubt that you are the best in the world, Mike.

Pearl wanting her share LOL. Finished projects is gorgeous!!

It always amazes me how someone can make something such as this.

As always, your carvings are amazing. And, as always, our videos create such peace. Thank you and stay safe.

Beautiful work

Amazing as always!

Beautiful work again Mike, well done

Amazing detail.

Always so lovely to see you and Pearl out and about while you whittle. Thank you also for showing us these neat different techniques and how we might try them at home.

Watching your videos never gets old mike,god bless you sir

Amazing work once again sir, god bless you.

You are so talented that it's unreal. You can really bring life in a chunk of wood. Amazing as usual.

Hey Mike looks amazing . I've never seen that before I'll have to give that try . Glad to see that the quality control inspector is still hard at her job lol .

You never cease to amaze. Your attention to detail is amazing.

Such a beautiful piece and a pleasure to listen to your voice and music!

C'est toujours aussi beau !! Merci pour les vidéos ça permet de s'évader ! :)

Wow so amazing . Pure love and light and happy Vibes and positive Energy to you

That turned out beautiful! Awesome work Mr. Stinnett, thank you!

Beautiful work Sir

Nothing's changed! Another Exquisite piece of work. Thank you, and best wishes.

My grandson Deegan takes my phone and looks for your videos LOL he swears up and down that you and ZZ top are the same guys. He tells me grandma my snake guy can sing. I don't have the heart to tell him is two different people. You give so much joy to a little person. May God bless you and keep you

Absolutely remarkable

Once again Mike a beautiful piece of art and very enjoyable to watch sir 😊👍👏
