I really love this talk through your process. Sometimes when a craftsman makes their pieces look so seamless and effortless, it's easy to forget or miss how much planning and time goes into just finding the form in the medium. Really insightful and interesting stuff. Great video, as always, Mike! Hope you and yours are well~

The patience involved in crafting this masterpiece. It's like a form of meditation. Absolutely amazing!

Pearl loves her human so much 😍

Your literally the type of guy I want to be when I retire

[@minutemark]

It's hard to believe that I've been watching you and Pearl for over four years. It sure hasn't been hard to watch you and Pearl for over for years though.

I finally scraped together 50 dollars for some tools to remove big pieces. My fingers are too weak from illness to do much with even the sharpest tools. I have gifted all my work. It made people really happy. You started me on this road. Thank you so much.

I was getting nervous until I saw Pearl. ♥️

[@spikewillow4552]

Your pieces never fail to leave me wide mouthed in awe ! Stunning piece as always love your work Mike

[@russellharkins6847]

I just started making little wood carvings out of scrap wood pieces. So far I made a polar bear, a toucan, and a hippo peaking it's head out the water. You inspire me so much sir. I can't wait for your next video. But until then, I've got many more of yours to watch.
