Carving a Wooden Raven Pendant

[@dr.rajasaurusandunclebonec6526]

Ppl with curving skills never becomes bored, sick, or old, They have the one true cure for every thing, I'm not this skilled but I too enjoy this typa work a lot, Power curving is so similar to dental procedures, I do carvings to get my hands more practice, also filming wild birds help a lot!

[@geoffallert1921]

Sitting here have a whiskey and maybe something else. Watching this video and thinking, what an artist this bloke is. As always, love ya work.

[@rodneywroten2994]

setting here enjoying a great cup of coffee and watching you is about the most relaxing thing for me my friend. beautiful raven

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you Rodney! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm sitting here drinking a cup of mountain mud and reading all the nice comments.

[@antoniuskristanto5533]

Fully agree Sir, so relaxing, amazing skill 👍

[@williambuck3999]

How much would it cost to make a hair pice

[@OpifexSingularity]

You have a gift sir, not only your amazing talent but that you enjoy what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your creations.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much! I really do enjoy carving.

[@ariannem2115]

The pendant looks so pretty! As always, I am blown away by your work

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, Arianne!

[@davidmccandless8265]

Hi stinnett David here a scot living in London I love you work and those snake waking sticks are marvellous thank you for sharing it David

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, David! I'm glad to share it with you and I appreciate your watching!

[@jewellerymagic]

Love watching and background music - soooo relaxing. Love the Raven as well

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, Margaret!

[@58Kym]

I love the way the feathers are splayed and upcurved. So beautiful and free.

[@sapelesteve]

Just awesome Mike! Ah yes, Ravens & Black Birds are the most intelligent birds on the planet. They are both one of my favorites for sure..............Thanks for posting.............. :)

[@StinnettSticks]

I've had an interest in Ravens for a long time, Steve. They really are an intelligent bird. They live a long time and are able to communicate with each other and have a lot of vocalizations that they use. Thanks for your kind comment!

[@sapelesteve]

Ravens are also known as "Wolf Birds". Interestingly, they are the only birds that can use tools & can figure out solutions to complex problems that require multiple steps to complete! Here is a good book on the subject: "Mind Of The Raven" by Bernd Heinrich. Fascinating read & he is one of my favorite authors. ALL of his books are worth reading........Steve

[@StinnettSticks]

I'll look the book up. Thanks Steve! I have watched ravens hunt with coyotes several times. They are an interesting bird for sure.

[@RogerJG21]

Thank u for another great video beautiful detail if I lived close to you I would bug you to just let me sit and watch you make these amassing works of ART!!!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much!

[@raywares7342]

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, John! I have been watching videos about the beast from the east. It really caught everyone by surprise, didn't it? Stay warm and safe!

[@jenford7078]

A raven on the top of a stick would be incredible!

[@ellekunkel3355]

Your voice is so calming

[@elciogouvea2381]

Beautiful raven Mr. Stinnett. Great work, it's amazing how detailed you can make such a small piece. Awesome video as always :)

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much! I have a lot of fun making the little pendants.

[@RhodaLevy]

Fascinating, watching your creativity come to life....seems to somehow right the chaos that is around us...maybe one day I can splurge and have one of your pendants for my own. For now, I'll just enjoy watching your video. Thank you for sharing.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, Rhoda! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@highlonesomebluegrass8286]

That is so cool, such detail in such a small piece. That was awesome love to see the steps and watch it come together. Keep em’ coming Mike and brava on the opening music love the guitar and Indian flute combination, love that tune! Tell everyone howdy for me!

Nice to hear from you and thank you very much!

[@pinkstarphoenix6182]

I'm returning to carving after a very long break, and really wanted to carve a blackbird. I drew what i wanted with view from below in flight, but really needed to see side on proportions. This video gave me perfect views from all angles, and I'm keeping it on file for reference. Thank you for the inspiration. Your choice of music is so peaceful and makes watching a pleasure. I subbed and will check out more.

[@kennymysak2079]

Another great job. Pearl probably wishing spring would get here so you two could go on adventures and fishing trips instead of the blizzard.Keep up the great video's

[@StinnettSticks]

Thanks, Kenny! For sure...Pearl has been laying on the back of the couch looking out the window, and I"ve been feeling the same way.

Beautiful work!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Victor!

[@Jonasolsenwoodcraft]

Pretty amazing to see how similar techniques we both have in our work! i have made a wooden raven pendant before and i do it almost the same way :) Would be great to do a colab somehow in the future. I really admire how you portray your lifestyle here on youtube!

[@StinnettSticks]

I took a look at your work, Jonas! Wow! It looks beautiful! Maybe we could collaborate on a video sometime.

[@glenmckelvey5952]

It's funny you sent this vid today . I went ice fishing this morning . I had caught a 4 pound rainbow and left it alone for about 2 min. to get my bucket and the ravens picked the eye's out of it . I guess they were hungry haha . Looks great Mike take care .

[@StinnettSticks]

That's funny, Glen! Those things must have been up in a tree just watching and waiting. Glad you caught a nice trout!

[@josephmarshall7943]

Just wonderful work. Thanks Mike.

You should do more stuff with ravens!!!

[@StinnettSticks]

I've always like Ravens. They are an intelligent bird and live to be very old.

[@theslimeylimey]

I bet you're more skilled with a dremel than 90% of the dentists out there ;)

[@StinnettSticks]

Haha! It's funny you should say that, but I was a dental technician for a few years, making crowns and bridges.

[@theslimeylimey]

That is ironic haha.

I just love this do u sell this on a website I would definitely but it I love the colour of the beads on the necklace true brilliance thanks.👏👏👍😊

[@StinnettSticks]

I would be happy to take an order for you on www.stinnettstudio.etsy.com.

[@guygooey]

I have been watching your work for some time Mike. Your videos have brought me a great sense of peace. Your work is beautiful and I thoroughly enjoy watching you woek and create amazing pieces. This video touched me on a different level as I have a strong connection to the raven, this piece is very special. Are you putting this piece up for sale? I would greatly appreciate your response in relation to this peace. Keep up the amazing work, your content has helped me through some difficult times. Thankyou.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, Guy! I'm glad that you enjoy my videos. It means a lot to me to hear comments like yours. The raven is for sale in my stinnettstudio.etsy.com shop. Thank you very much for asking.

[@guygooey]

Thankyou for your reply Mike, it means a lot. Keep up the beautiful work and content you share with us all. As much as I love your craftsmanship, the way in which you portray your art as an intrinsic part of your lifestyle is inspiring. Thankyou for sharing your craft and its beauty. Thankyou again, and give Pearl a big hug from me here in Australia.

[@wollem5136]

hello. can you please curve an wooden tank because i want to make one and i have no idea how to shape it so please do an video of you curving wooden tank. amazing video

[@TinaharrisTinaharris]

I think you should do a pendent of a stag led down.

[@ivograssi8876]

Very nice

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you!

[@lukethompson823]

You should come down to the Texas Renaissance festival and do showings and sell your works. It’s the biggest festival in the country and you would make a gigantic profit on your pendants and canes

[@StinnettSticks]

I'd like to be able to do that kind of stuff someday.

[@johngoodall7097]

Hi Mike, John here again, just watched the latest with your Raven Pendant, your usual details even on such a small project are really good. Tell me Mike what wood did you use? also I have seen you burn scales on snake sticks, but why did you burn the edges of the feathers and then paint over in black? does this make the detail stand out? There you are Mike some more questions for you!!! Keep warm my friend and your family also, its a blizzard here in England, brrrrrr!!!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, John! I used Oregon Juniper wood for this pendant. The wood burner gets in-between the feathers and cleans up the wood fibers so it will have sharper detail. Thanks for the questions, John, it's always good to hear from you. And you stay warm, too, my friend! I heard about the Beast from the East!

[@colgia68new]

Amazing!!!! Only a question. What's the liquind where you put the eagle in the end to ge so brilliant?

[@StinnettSticks]

The liquid is Minwax clear gloss Polyurethane.

[@colgia68new]

Great! Thank you.

He is lovely. x

[@willevans6274]

Another great work of art, do you have a studio or anything where a person could come take a look at some of your work? I only live a couple hours from where you are and would love to check it out sometime

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Will. I welcome you to come and visit me. I don't usually have anything in stock to look at except for what commission I'm working on at the time. Anything I have available is in my stinnettstueio.etsy.com shop. But I'll most likely be sitting out in my yard carving when the weather is good and I'd enjoy visiting with you next time you're in my area.

[@gillesrougeot3647]

chapeau bas *!* l'artiste *!*

[@mysticnorth]

Very great work! You are an inspiration for me to do that in my free time too:) (is it a correct sentence? 😅🤔i trying to improve my english skills 😅😁)

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much! Your sentence is correct and your English is great! I hope you will have a lot of fun with carving!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you!

[@rosemarydunaif9158]

Wonderful! I am a newbie and have a dremel 3000 but where do I find those tiny bits? Thanks!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you! I get a lot of my bits from the dental industry. I used to be a dental technician. You may ask a local dental technician for bits.

[@dalethebelldiver7740]

Great job. How do you go about carving an octopus

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Dale! It would be hard to explain how to carve an octopus.

[@dalethebelldiver7740]

Stinnett Sticks maybe I should just start carving and see what comes of it. Do you ever attach a separate carving to a cane if you don’t have the mass in your cane to start with? Maybec hen you were new at carving?
