This man absolutly goes for quality over quantity with these videos.
And I can respect that.
I can’t imagine how long it actually takes you to create these masterpieces. Absolutely fascinating as always. So relaxing too. Love the gentle music and soft sounds of nature.
If im not mistaken, the music is his.
Thank you very much!
The music is by me and my daughter and also Jered Gillispie and Gary Davis, on this video.
@@StinnettSticks how long did it take?

Another Brilliant job, lovely to watch you and Pearl in these challenging times Thanks Mike Ian (uk)
Thank you very much, Ian! Glad you enjoyed it! Take care.
Hard to believe that was just a piece of wood, you are amazing Mike. This has got to be the best video channel on You Tube. So wonderful and peaceful out in the bush. Love it. And the cherry on the top is Pearly whirly. Love her to bits 🥰🥰
Thank you very much, Val!
Glad to be blessed as an early viewer. This channel is always on my top 3 list of most anticipated uploads.
Thank you, Joseph!
And thank you for being there and being able to cheer me up with your heartfelt videos!!! )))
You're very welcome, Ivan. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Good to see the lockdown aint stopping you from creating art.
I am always amazed how it transforms from raw material to finished product!
So refreshing to see your work. Amazing. We have a group of trees that were struck by lightning this past year at the creek. The colors from the heat of the lightning is amazing, wish there was a way you could use that wood.
Thank you very much! I bet the wood really is amazing!
Absolutely wonderful, just like Pearl!
Thank you, Kiko!
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you!
Another beauty. The carving and the colors are amazing.
Thank you, Wayne!
Hooray the Bob Ross of woodworking has returned!
Lots of imagination, talent, creativity, passion for making it perfect and patience.
Thank you very much, Shashi!
your work always amazes me just how realistic they look.. great work sir
Thank you very much!
Another Absolutely amazing piece, and that snow was pretty impressive it stuck so easily. Thanks for brightening up my day!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos, sir, as much as I love them, always bring to me a sense of sadness because when I see your little friend I remember my cat, my best friend who would follow wherever I went, nap on my chest and sit on my shoulder at meal times until one day when he didn’t wake up . This was five years ago and I still miss his warm attitude and purring while watching me work. I just hope that when I close my eyes for the last time he will be there on the other side to welcome me. Have a great day and pat Pearl for me please. May God bless you both. 🐱
SIR you are truly amazing 👏and an expert watching you carve and create works of beauty is truly satisfying thankyou very much I'm 30 years old from England 🇬🇧 UK and watching you made me get into whittling and trying to carve from branches and sticks thankyou hope you are well during the current times
I’m always so excited when this amazing, talented man makes a video. Very inspirational and definitely make my day. Live the videos sir and can’t wait for the next one. You should do another trout. Those are just so cool.
Thank you, Tom! I'm really glad that you enjoy the videos. I just finished a Rainbow trout carving and will be posting it next Friday, hopefully!
Yes!!! Thank you so much Mr. Stinnett
Awesome project 👍I see Pearl is doing well although she's definitely has grown. Any chance you could talk about drying the wood. Mine always splits while drying and turns into firewood.😢 Be so appreciated
Thank you! I've had the same problem, trying to dry wood. Try sealing the end by painting it with carpenters glue and put it in a cool dry place for a couple of years.
@@StinnettSticks Thank so much. I'll definitely be doing that. Keep making master pieces.👍
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Thank God for Mike Stinnett! Have a blessed day sir! Thanks for the videos!!!
You are very welcome, my friend, and God bless you too!
I love watching these videos! They’re so relaxing to watch! Pearl is so adorable! Have you ever done a black tailed crebo snake walking stick before? That would be cool to see!
Thank you Bridget! I'm glad that you enjoy my videos. I haven't done a black tailed crebo, yet. But I think it's a good idea.
Mike that is beautiful work, I’ve never heard of that kind snake but I looked it up and it’s spot on. I always enjoy your videos good buddy. I thought the song fit really well too, Gary is a talented fella ain’t he? I’ll talk to you soon buddy be sure and tell everybody I said howdy!
Whosoever is involved in this superb and relaxing video making, thank you so much. You love your passion and enjoying. Very lucky guy. Keep relaxing us!
Thank you very much, from all of us!

Thank you, Tetyana!
Do you ever go up to one of your canes and freak out that there's a snake and just forget that one you've carved? I think I would do that all the time.
Good morning to you and pearl , been awhile,that is just so beautiful the way the snake turned out with the colors . And the eyes are so real looking ....
Thank you, Lyle!
I think you numb the real snake and wrap it in a stick. 😁😁😊Master, the only word I can say is as wonderful as always. It was very enjoyable to watch this hard work. Stay healthy. Greetings.👋👋👋
Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

The eyes are always my favorite part; as though it's the moment you bring them to life. Beautiful video, incredible craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing these.
Thank you very much!
You are a true artist. This is indeed a work of art.
Your superb artistry makes Stinnett Sticks a standout RUclips channel, Mike, but the artistry that occurs behind the lens and behind the scenes increases the viewing experience and enjoyment of your artistic endeavors many-fold. And, of course, there's delightful little Pearl.
Thank you, Noah! I appreciate that!
I just love pearl , the best friend to have
She really is a good little buddy.
Watching your videos brings such joy to my heart. Thank you for your posts and your beautiful works. As always they are truly amazing.
You are very welcome, and thank you for your kind words!
Another amazing job. Looks like you and Pearl had some great adventures along the way as well and I see she still reminds you to take a break and relax. Keep up the great videos
Thank you very much, Kenny! Yes we've had some fun adventures, this winter.
I never have the proper or adequate words to thank you for your artistry skills, your connection to nature and your love of life. Blessings and Peace to you and yours and esp dear little Pearl. It's so good to sit here and enjoy watching your latest works. Wow!!! Thanks Mike!!! Be safe. Sending love from FL
Thank you very much, Robina!
Hi Frank, I would love to spend two months in your company making a walking stick, and learning your techniques, once again you skill transcends anything else on RUclips. If there was an oscars for RUclips vids, you would win !!!
how much love he discharges, in creating his stupendous works
Your work never ceases to amaze. 👍❤
Thank you very much!
Always a pleasure!
You're the most successful artist I've ever seen. It would be proud to be your student.
this gye deserves more views hes so good!!!!
I think someone already mentioned this to you but....you are like the Bob Ross of sculpting :)
Your videos are always the highlight of the week.
On a cold CT day after shoveling & snow blowing for two hours, it's nice to sit back, relax, and watch one of Mike's amazing carving videos! Always love watching little Pearl as well. I also learned a new species of snake that I had never heard of. Thanks Mike & hope that all is well with you and your family.
Thank you Steve! We've been getting a lot of practice shoveling snow, this year, haven't we, haha! Take care and stay warm, my friend!
It feels ages since we last saw you. Amazing work, as always. Your videos are always so calming and relaxing. Stay safe and well.
Thank you very much, Jude! I know it's been a long time. I will try to post more often.
I love the Swedish fire log. Just enough heat to keep you warm and a slow enough burn so you don't have to pay much attention to it and can just enjoy your carving all day in the great outdoors.
Another amazing walking stick! 😉👍
Thank you so much!
@@StinnettSticks always I started doing a little wood carving. Got a book on the basics as well enjoying it so far.
Another remarkable walking stick by the best walking stick carver in the whole world !... Thanks and best wishes to you.
Thank you, Jay!
Magnifique sculpture de couleuvre!👏👏👏

Greetings from Germany
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
The attention to detail is mind blowing. These snakes could reach out a bite you!
Your videos are always outstanding, from their photography and overall production to the showcasing of your work and style. I love to watch you work and see the finished result. I especially love to see Pearl curled up in your lap as you work. Thank you so much for sharing.
