  • In this wood carving video Mike Stinnett shows how he carved a life sized German Brown Trout from a single piece of Birch Wood. He used a wood burner to create thousands of scales for texture, and then painted the fish using a combination of hand painting and airbrush techniques.

    "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work" while carving a trout at a favorite fishing hole is an instant classic. And by-the-way, the finished carving looks good enough to throw in a pan...with a little bit of butter, a sprinkling of salt and a squirt of lemon. Thanks for the journey :)
