I would absolutely love for you to do some kind of outdoorsman series. Something as simple as you casting in the river while telling us about the land. What you know of it's history, how it changes with the seasons, where your favorite spots of the wilderness are your favorites.

Mike, I don't know how your channel came across my feed but I'm sure glad that it did. I've been binging on your videos for the last couple of days. Lol😃. I had a great uncle that hand carved wooded canes such as yours and was extremely talented also, I could sit and watch him for hours!!! You definitely remind me a lot of my great uncle, I guess because of that and the gift God blessed you with, you've gained a New lifelong Subscriber. 👍👍 I know how many hours goes into creating one piece, I just love the way you reduce it down to less than a 10 minute video. You create beautiful Masterpieces of Art, Mike. Also, the way Miss Pearl lays on your lap, so tranquil, I've got a miniature poodle that does the same thing, can't beat their unconditional love... Take care and God Bless my friend. Til the next video. ~Jay~ North Carolina.

Thank you very much, Jay! I'm happy that you have been enjoying the videos! I appreciate your kind words!

[@Ibaneddie76]

Your carvings are ridiculous, in a good way. You are to good at what you do it's not fair haha. It's great to see that you don't have to carve wizard heads and old man characters you are a true artist, the best I've seen in my humble opinion.

[@garyharmon1155]

I've watched your videos for so long and I still can't get over how your voice sounds like a narrators but that's not the only reason I'm writing this comment the main reason I'm making this is because you are truly an inspiration to all especially me there's some others but you are one of the main ones I've always loved everything to do with wood the Rings in wood the smell of wood the Phil the texture which I guess would also be the feel everything the collar the smell the toughness softness of it it is truly one of my passions and watching your videos helps me continue my passion for wood carving the biggest thing with wood carving for me is finding a piece of wood and imagining what that piece of wood can be but I don't think my artworks are good enough

[@StinnettSticks]
