Carved Wooden Chipmunk and Rattlesnake Stick

Mike Stinnett shows how he carves a chipmunk and a Rattlesnake walking stick, with his little dog Pearl by his side. The added knurled hand-grip and two-part hiking tip make this a very functional piece of artwork.

Mr. Stinnett, I have no words to describe your work... Simply brilliant!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you Ivan!

[@danielhanawalt4998]

You inspire me to get out in the woods and look for some sticks. Your love and passion for what you do is apparent in that it has to take a lot of time and an immense amount of patience. I have a tendency to get in a hurry and it seldom fails I mess up doing that. I think if I get out in the woods maybe I'll slow down and let your passion for carving rub off on me. We'll see. I could use the walk anyway.

Another beautiful walking stick that tells a beautiful story of nature. It reminds me of the first time I ever saw a chipmunk in Yellowstone as a young boy it was so neat to see being a kid from a suburban area with not much nature to offer.

Hey 👋 Mike, so glad to see you again my friend!

Thank you, Jay! Of course, we are the ones that are awestruck about the Lord's creation. I can't even get close to the beauty of what He has done. Pearl's idea of "play" probably wasn't to their liking, haha! Thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one, my friend.
