"I want to carve this little piece of Tupelo wood into a ram skull"
" I've spent hours and hours of Bighorn Sheep in the wild"
"I enjoy how they react to each other""I don't have a lot of experience with Tupelo. But so far I like how easy it carves with power tools and how well it takes the details."
"It seems pretty strong, too! But it will take a really strong wood to keep these horns from breaking off. I guess this will be a good test"
"The flies and hornets are really (friendly) this year. They are beginning to get on my nerves" "They seem to be taunting me!"
"Every time I bring out the bug zapper, they disappear and when I put it down they come right back"
"Pearl volunteered to keep the flies away, so that I could keep carving."
"I'm real happy with the strength of Tupelo. But just to be on the safe side, I'm going to soak it with super glue."

Somebody please explain why someone would give this a thumbs down. The editing is awesome - great camerawork, sound is excellent, details are at the forefront. The voiceover and content are totally engaging. His passion is evident and the care of his video crew is top notch. Thank you for keeping me entertained.

[@StinnettSticks]

Much appreciated, Matthew!

[@fredtaylor3322]

If the person who gives the thumbs down think they are being having a go about something don't realise that to youtube it is just another interaction.

[@ryantettenburn940]

I believe it's pure jealousy. Stinnett sticks are 100% perfect all the time and true to scale mostly. Some people are just never happy.
