Oh i so wish i could own a stick like this... my grand father used to have a sticked with carved mini elephants and zebras in a tower kind of design... and i still have it.. although it was damaged a portion of the top was broken off when i got it.. but i love it and wish i could have a piece like that with me.. to pass it on to my grand children someday...

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Saadi! Your grandfathers stick sounds amazing! A great treasure! Sorry it has been broken.

What a useful video Mike showing what other carvers don`t show, Jordy Johnson shows burrs from Kutzall mostly aggressive, very helpful though!!!

[@StinnettSticks]

I'm going to have to try, Kutzall, sometime. So far I have only used Sabur tooth. They look like really good aggressive bur type. Thanks John, It's always good to hear from you!

[@robellisdonphotography7289]

Thank you, Mike, for the information on your carving tool selection. I do a lot of woodwork but have never done any significant carving work. This information will lead me to better choices in carving tools. I'm a photographer and would love to do some carvings of bird species I have caught on film. Best regards to You, Pearl and your Family.

[@StinnettSticks]

You're welcome, Rob! You will really enjoy carving birds and other wildlife, I'm sure!

Очень позновательный ролик. Благодарю. Дерево похоже на ясень. Я тоже работаю борфрезами " кутзал" и " сабур". Только они очень дорогие. Здоровья и творческих успехов.🤝

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Oleg! The wood is cedar. The Sabur tooth burrs are expensive, but they work very good.

*Mike, Please give Pearl a pat from me. Gosh Mike, without all these wonderful modern tools of today, to make these great carvings... I have to wonder how long it would have taken, to make each of these carvings, like back in the day before these tools, were ever thought of.*

[@StinnettSticks]

I gave Pearl her pat, Andrea! The tool definitely save me a lot of time!

[@richardmattingly7000]

One tool Mike has that can't be found online or made by his own hands though its in nearly every video is Pearl of course and is a multi tool like no other...

جميل جدا وابداع

[@ivananthero381]

Sr Stinnett, todos seus trabalhos são incríveis. Adoro seus vídeos... Inspirado em seu trabalho, até fiz uma bengala com uma cascavel enrolada... Por ser a primeira, acho que ficou muito legal... As que o Sr faz, a nota é 10... A que eu fiz, nota 6... Mr Stinnett, all your works are amazing. I love your videos... Inspired by your work, I even made a cane with a coiled rattlesnake... For being the first, I think it turned out really cool... The ones you make, the grade is 10... I did, note 6...

[@StinnettSticks]

Thank you, Ivan, and congratulations on making your first rattlesnake stick!

Why is this channel not getting more followers?

[@lyleloomis3493]

I could use the tool to take out the wood to size and the 1/2 “ sander . I got a little chainsaw like a drill that’s cordless that I use and my angle grinder with different attachments to widle away with .

[@StinnettSticks]

I've thought about using a little cordless chainsaw, but I've been afraid I might make a mistake and cut too deep. Haha!

Thanks, Kurt! The little black and white tool is called an ART CRITIQUE, haha!

[@JUSTinsane_W]

What tool and bits do you use to burn the scales, is it just a soldering iron with a changeable end bit?

[@StinnettSticks]

I use Razertip wood burner with a BPH pen and snake scale tips. You can find the burning tools and most of the other tools at Treeline. bit.ly/37mzHvC
