Black Tailed Rattlesnake Cane

Mike Stinnett carved this "ready to strike" Arizona Black Tailed Rattlesnake Walking Cane from a single piece of Pine. The difficulty in this project was carving a figure eight shape in the neck of the snake.

Another masterpiece, Sir

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you kindly!

[@Cobra-ky9bt]

Stunning! Pearl sure has grown up over the years, too. And an electric gouge??? What a time to be alive.

Hooray, a new masterpiece from the master! I always admire your attention to detail. Thank you so much, Mike!

[@StinnettSticks]

You're very welcome, Dmitry! Thank you kindly my friend!

[@calnative4904]

Mike, I have the utmost respect for your talent and artistry. I’m always amazed at the realism that you are able to achieve, I always expect the finished masterpiece to start moving. Your companion Pearl is always a pleasure to see and brings a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing, I really enjoy your videos.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you kindly!

[@timcross2510]

A few years ago I saw one if your videos. I carved with the tools I had and wood I burned. I gave my work to people I love. I painted my final piece of a copperhead .you said "nice paint work" .it meant the world to me. Like Pearl, my dog Bob was always at my side. I lost him to the next place last April. My hands won't let me play guitar or carve again. But your inspiration left gifts that will be around for a long time. Thanks

[@samanthadean1083]

[@richardmattingly7000]

The only crackling and hissing sound that makes Pearl happy comes from a trout-steak makes in a frying pan ...🐾

[@mrsverity6661]

Stunning work as always. A pleasure to watch.

Today I was shufflin around on the internet and came across a real rarity, a master wood sculptor. It happened right here!

[@mangilitking4572]

It's hard to choose what I like the most, the cute dog or the masterfully crafted stick🔥🙏🏻

[@lyrieth8833]

This turned out wonderfully! Hummingbirds are such pretty creatures.

[@jackicomber8534]

I do love watching you carve those beautiful works of art... I just wish they were longer!

[@joshvandruff1790]

I can honestly say watch your videos has inspired me to start wood carving.

[@StinnettSticks]

I'm glad to hear that, Scott!

[@ricardoabreu4153]

I'm on the other side of the pond and I can smell the scent of freshly carved pine from over here.

[@StinnettSticks]

It does smell good!

[@manuelacosta6174]

Amazing as every piece you do, you bring dread trees back to life

[@robellisdonphotography7289]

[@stevenchurch8901]

Amazing as always, sir! Every time I see your work, I'm reminded of my father. He was always say'in the devil's in the details. Have a blessed day!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Steven!

[@brandongerber5205]

Yet another piece of art that stirs deep emotions and memories within. This time of my father and the time we went to little big horn. He said if I put even one toe off the elevated wooden path the rattlesnakes would come bite me. I wish he was here so I could share this video and that memory with him. Thanks for letting me share it with you instead.

[@StinnettSticks]

You're welcome, Brandon! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Kenny! I do love a good thunder storm as long as there is plenty of rain with it.

[@ColinBurtonPlays]

So lifelike that if I were fortunate enough to own one like it I’m sure my hand would flinch back every time I reached for it. Absolutely beautiful and perfect as always. Thanks for another beautiful video. I’ll see you on the next one. 🙂

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Colin! See you on the next one!

[@markanthony559]

Very cool Mr Stinnett. 👍👍👍 Always a treat to see Pearl.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Mark!

[@summerrainsong7506]

There are no words in any language, to describe just how beautiful! Not only are you talented but your are also extremely wise. You take time time to notice your surroundings. You also are smart enough to respect mother nature in all way's. She can be beautiful true, but she also has a temper that when triggered , can cause untold misery. You've won my respect which is not an easy thing to do. You respect and care for the animal's. I never kill any critter venomous or not if I can avoid it. Sometimes one is left with no choice. I once had little time to react to a timber rattler that did not rattle until it was almost too late. It was about to strike I had no choice but to pull my knife and throw pinning it's head to the ground. When it comes to knives and bow's I can hold my own against anyone or anything.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you kindly!

Hehe, I got my brother a salt rifle for his birthday, loves it - so much fun, you welcome blue bottles coming in the window :D - hopefully bag a wasp or two this season. Anyway, always great to come home from work to a new Stinnett Sticks video, thank you, keep up the awesome work.

[@StinnettSticks]

It is a lot of fun, haha! I don't know how many flies I've salted, and I've nailed a few Yellow Jacket wasps too! Thank you kindly!

[@ramonpizarro]

Another beautiful masterpiece If you had to defend yourself, you wouldn't even need to hit someone with the walking stick, the carving is so good you could just throw it at them, as Moses did at pharaoh's court

[@SirDavidCold]

You're truly an artist

[@penonfireandcarvings]
