What a 5 minutes I have spent. totally satisfying.

[@robellisdonphotography7289]

Beautiful realistic carving, Mike. You must have the patience of a saint because all that detail is so immense. Another Work Of Art, hats off to you, Mike.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much!

[@samanthadean1083]

The fact that the whole cane *is* the snake, is my favourite part!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@roberthesse157]

It amazes me how realistic your carvings are. You are absolutely the best wood carver I've ever seen. My uncle who is gone now was an amazing wood carver also back before power tools and he did everything with knives. I used to love looking at his carvings. It's more then an art, it's a gift that very few people have.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very kindly, Robert!

[@joeehrlich2898]

I sure love your art Mike. Thank you so much for putting these awesome videos together for us. From the filming, the music the narration and of course the hours of details you put into these projects. You are hands down my favorite Carver and artist I have seen. Thank you so much!!

[@StinnettSticks]

You're very welcome, Joe! Thank you very much!

[@clairetolmie5640]

Love watching you detail your work, such patience! Great stuff as always Mike, thank you for sharing!

[@sapelesteve]

[@pross6525]

[@Cobra-ky9bt]

[@lukelion3371]

can you please make these longer🙏🙏i’m sure we’d all love to see the whole process of just carving and the sounds of your tools and nature

[@williamwolfe3277]

I stepped on a copperhead and got bit, four days in the hospital, free helicopter ride, 8 weeks getting back on my foot. Labor Day 1990. I have a great deal of respect for the snake and your fantastic work Sir!

[@Yeehaw0588]

Fun fact, baby ad adolescent copperhead are 10x as dangerous, the adults know how to control the venom release and usually won't try to kill you, the immature ones don't and will not hold back!

[@Yeehaw0588]

Sorry for my bad grammar

[@lyleloomis3493]

That’s awesome , so life like and the details you put in it. Some day maybe I’ll get that good.

[@JaredKingTV]

Absolutely amazing carving Mike! Lord knows you're a true inspiration to all us ole carvers here in Appalachia! God bless and have a good'n brother.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you so much!

[@JoeCarvesWood]

Your voice reminds me of the old american nature documentarys from the 70s and 80s. Takes me back to being a kid 😂 ... Your talent for detail is second to none. Thanks for the video

[@StinnettSticks]

Haha! I've had other people say that! Thanks for your kind words, Joe!

[@funclub538]

Your designs are wonderful. I love this art too. When I look at my designs with your designs, there are many flaws in my designs. I learn by looking at your designs. So thank you very much. have a great day.

[@valborchardt3596]

Fabulous Mike, another awesome walking stick, even Pearly liked it. Thank you. Take care and be safe ❤❤️

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Val!

[@ulricspiva4450]

Another one bites the dust!. Love your videos Mike, and really enjoy watching your videos as you transform a piece of wood into a work of art. I am no where near as talented as you are, but I keep on keeping on.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Ulric!

[@markanthony559]

Another awesome snake! I love how they look so life like. Keep up the great work Mr Stinnett, I can't wait to see Pearl and yourself on the next one. 👍👍👍

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very kindly, Mark! See ya on the next one!

[@brandongerber5205]

Always thoroughly enjoy your videos, your sculptures are true works of art and something about them calls to mind my grandfather and far better days. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@davidwayne5152]

Nothin' chills me to the bone,like a copperhead,while I'm pickin' wild berries.This was an awesome carve,Mike.The realism was almost too realistic for my comfort.lol👍

[@super60d]

Great job !

[@LethalSaliva]

Another beautiful masterpiece! I especially love how you made the whole cane to look like the snake. It made it more lifelike. You should do more like this if you can find the perfect branches. Good to see your videos again❤!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much! I'm always on the lookout for those perfect pieces, but they're pretty rare to find.

[@rietzhu]

Good stuff man! I sometimes forget what it means to be an artist. ❤ Thanks for the reminder.

[@georgeowoh9130]

Amazing work of art. Many thanks for sharing your great talent.

[@GA1dad]

That's one dastardly looking dude!!!

[@pedrosalguero5664]

incredible, I'm 15 and i'd guess it was about a year or 2 ago that I saw one of you videos and decided to start wood whittling

[@noahcount7132]

So remarkably lifelike, Mike. You have an amazing gift! 👍 (And a great deal of patience.)

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you kindly, Noah!

You really got me at the beginning, I thought it was a real copper head! Amazing carving, really really beautiful. Pearl did a good quality check and all seems well. Paws crossed for the hernia, I hope everything will be fine for precious Pearl.

[@jasonhiggins7793]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work! I was bitten by a copperhead 2 years ago, and it was painful. However, I blamed myself for getting bit. Snakes are good, and I will always welcome them near my house!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you kindly! I've heard their bite is very painful! I'm glad you pulled through, and are okay!

[@williamellis8993]

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you so much 👍

[@debluetailfly]

Not long ago, someone made a comment on another channel, I think it was Celebrating Appalachia, about people saying Copperhead snake. Interesting to hear you use the term! I probably wouldn't have even noticed if I hadn't seen that comment a few days ago. Keep up the good work! Your copperhead snake looks real!

[@JDurkin2811]

You really have the snakes proportions down. That looks near indistinguishable, great video as always Mike.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Joseph!

[@franklippler8687]

j'ai toujours le sentiment de voir Dieu donné vie à Ses créations. Merci pour ces bon moments.

[@davidrichards2980]

It seems like you're particularly proud of this one! You should be! It's incredible what you do with your hands I know when I try to carve something, I don't have the patience to spend 3 weeks on it😅 Thanks for the video!

[@StinnettSticks]

It was a fun little project, and I'm always happy to finish another one! Thank you kindly, David!

I need this in my life! One of these beauties nearly took my life! It’s a long story but I’m one of the ones who are highly allergic! Full anaphylactic shock, anti-venom the whole 9 yards. Amazing

[@StinnettSticks]

Wow, Billy! I'm glad you survived! I've heard that their bites are really serious!
