My family and I have spent the last few months creating an instructional book and video on how to carve, detail, and paint a rattlesnake walking stick. In both, I share every step of my process from the tools I use and curing wood, to roughing out the snake's shape, carving down to the details, wood burning, and giving your snake a realistic paint job.

I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to making one, but I’ll darn sure buy your book. Your quality work deserves a reward.

[@josemlantigua]

hahah same!!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you very much, James! I surely do appreciate that!

[@jasoncummings7052]

Same here.

[@LethalSaliva]

Same with me. I want it still, though!😁❤️

[@b13likesbw]

I bet pearl had some very good input in the making of this book!

[@StinnettSticks]

Haha! Yep, she was with me every step of the way.

[@wynja77]

Wow, this is so generous of you! Some people refuse to share their "secrets" when it comes to creating things.

[@StinnettSticks]

I like to share what I've learned. It makes me happy to see other folks enjoy carving as much as I do.

[@shk4779]

Along with the book we need those talented fingers too😀

[@josephogden4870]

I've been meaning to get more into wood carving, and this may just be the final kicker. I like working with wood, but I've only ever done basic carpentry. Maybe now I can get into woodworking in a relaxing way. Thank you for the book, Mike! It will be put to good use!

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Joseph! I hope you will really enjoy carving!

[@sapelesteve]

Looks like a terrific book Mike! Hope that you sell tons of books! Give that little Pearl a hug for me! 😉😉🐶🐶👍👍

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Steve!

[@noahcount7132]

You and Pearl work good side by side as companions, too, Mike! Thumbs up.

[@StinnettSticks]

Thanks, Noah!

[@cyclistman6358]

I truly believe that Pearl is an inspiration and a muse to you and your art. I can see it in that way that both of you relate to each other. The bond is there and is eternal. Peace

[@ClevesBackyardWoodworking]

awesome, congrats on the book. one of these days I may try to carve a walking stick but still enjoy watching your carving videos.

[@Hick4Life]

Your videos make me want to get in my shop again. Not only building but now carving again. Give Pearl a treat for me :)

[@KombuchaBuzzed]

So cool. Definitely on my list of books I need to buy. Your work is amazing and masterful.

As a carver if you want to become a carver, the main thing is patients lots of patients. The rest has to come naturally with lots of practice. This man has it all carver grinder painter.and a truck load of patients.

Saludos desde Costa Rica muy buen libro gracias

[@kiko7247]

I will never have your talent or your skills. I love carving small / tiny animals and I enjoy pyrography art, therefore I assume that the book is not for me, but.. I don't care, I want to support your amazing work, so I happily bought your book anyway, because if beautiful Pearl helped you writing it.. it must be truly precious! :)

[@StinnettSticks]

I really appreciate that! Thank you!

[@dongato4554]

gracias por compartir esos videos y ahora un libro ,en lo personal aprecio mucho su trabajo... gracias 👍

[@Kc-slice]

Well thats another carving book im going to have to buy 🙂 you are my favorite wildlife carver no one comes close to your carvings especially your snakes they are crazy good and realistic!!! And you probably need to give Ol' Pearl some extra treats for helping you write that book🦴🦴 stay Awesome brother and I can't wait to see what you do next👍👍

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Kyle! I appreciate that! Yep, I'll give her a couple more treats, haha!

Awesome! I want to buy your book bc you do amazing work and I am inspired by you to do wood carvings. I have never done a walking stick before. I have done small projects so far with doing woodcarving as a hobby. I enjoy learning new things and improving my skills by watching and getting books from those who inspire me. Keep up the great work!!! 😉

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Jade! Keep on carvin'!
