    Two things I really enjoy about this:
    1. The careful attention to detail that was put into the piece
    2. The gentle and considerate handling of wild reptiles

    Beautiful work as always Mike. Loved seeing Pearl curl up in that blanket & that Lizard posing on your hand! Yet another "Stunning Stinnett Stick" carving! Thank you for making these awesome videos!

    I am really enjoying you and Pearl's videos . You are such a good artist and your detail is excellent. I'm proud of the canes I make , but the detail you put into yours is pure , sharp and comes from your soul and it is very refreshing to watch you . I hope someday to meet you and watch you in person . Keep up the great work my new friend .
