It never ceases to blow me away, when I consider that you burn every single scale and then paint every single scale, individually. The zen concentration, steady hand and knowledge of wildlife it takes to do that so masterfully, for each different species of snake, fish, (etc) is truly stunning.

I feel privileged to experience a small part of your world, and watch you make absolutely the most wonderful pieces! Thank you for showing us x

You sir are a master of your craft. The level of art you put into every carving, big or small, is amazing. Pure art. Keep up the awesome work.

There's magic in your craft

I have to say, Mr Stinnet, and please don't take it the wrong way, as a slightly younger fella startingout in carving, you are my goal when I'm older. A peaceful life, somewhere by or in the woods, and carving, right down to having my own dog to follow me around. Very much love and respect for you good sir!!!

Ah, the longest awaited upload. Perfect timing, Mike!

It's always a treat, Mike, when a new video gets posted and I get to see you and Pearl and get to marvel once more at the new piece of art you've chosen to create. As ever, these productions are superb. The content, the camera work, the editing, and the background music are absolutely first-rate professional quality. Kudos to you and the crew, and a pat on the head to Pearl.

Cant express how happy this will make me. Alabama is a huge fan.

You are the only person who reads every comment with the same care as works with the surface of the tree. Thank you for being mindful of the little things.

I love seeing Pearl sitting with her dad while he produces a masterpiece. It always makes my day when your videos are released. Thanks

Hey! I’m 17, recently fell ill and started walking with a stick. I’ve been watching your videos because I’m not sure why, but seeing walking sticks being made into something as incredible and artistic as this just fills me with joy. I adore the personality each stick has and would one day love to have one of my own - I’ll keep a lookout on your shop for any new sticks you make! You make something that is so hard for many into something hopeful. I hated having to walk with a stick at first, but seeing artworks like this just fills me with enthusiasm 😊 you’re incredible!!

Hi Mike, hope you’re well, it’s always amazing to watch how you give a second life to the wood, your one of my favorite artists, watching you here how you work is also absolutely relaxing, thanks and have a great weekend, Taro

Watching your videos is my quiet time. I get a drink, sit in my favourite chair, get a cat or two on my lap and tell my husband not to disturb me. I press the play button and watch the magic take place. It's always amazing to see such beauty and realism come to life from a ratty, old, dead piece of wood. The banjo music plays in the background, as time looses itself as I watch you carve, etch, saw, pyrograph and paint life into the once lifeless stick, which now turns into a creature you would honestly believe was about to strike any second if you made the wrong move. This is yet another piece of art that belongs in a museum, along with the Van Goghs, Renoirs, Turners and Rodin's. The video finishes and time begins again, realty awakens and the magic I just witnessed is over. There's no smoking mirrors, no waving wands, and no rabbits in hats, but I know I've just seen something truly magical, truly astounding, and totally amazing be created from nothing. Thank you for making this video, and making our world a little more magical.

Hello Mike! Hope you and your family are doing well. I always love seeing how you give wood a natural twist! Your art is just incredible and so mesmerizing to watch. You are by far my favorite artist and wood carver! Thank you for always sharing your beautiful work with us!

There is nothing I can say that has not already been said in these comments, but there is magic in those hands of yours.

You and your dog are awesome! I love your work and seeing you having fun.

Hello my dear friend! I liked the video very much! I love when you show moments from your life. It's a pity that the video is short 🙂 Regards, greetings from Russia

Meine Mechaniker was here 👏

Sir, if the world had just a tenth of your patience, we would all live in a much better place. Thank you for your calm. And I love your little supervisor is there every step of the way.

your videos really makes me calm.. I have anxiety disorder and watching your videos slows me down and makes me wanna rest. thanks!

What a great video, not only shows great workmanship and patience, but the bond with the dog. Just gave me peace to watch this. Thank you

Hello from Ukraine. I have been watching your videos for many years and I am very grateful to you for making them. They are full of peace and kindness. This music, voice, your sweetest dog, you and your works are very inspiring and comforting. Thanks!

I thought i was an artist,but since watching you sir, i have no doubt now I have a long way to go

Never EVER have I seen an artist as precise, and patient as yourself. Exquisite work.

Two things,,, 1- When you sat in the rocker next to the wood stove, I felt a little warmer myself. It brought back childhood memories of a time when everyone had a freestanding wood stove or oil furnace taking up floor space. 2- When you were test driving the cane and walking towards the camera, there were milliseconds where it indeed looked like a real snakes body limply swinging in cadence. Good Stuff!! Thanks for the video!!

As always, I am amazed by the realism that you can achieve!!! I also love your self portrait sculpture in your living room!!! 😁

Hi Mike. Always a thrill to watch you carve these animals out from sticks. Also reminds us how magnificent God is in His creations and the beauty in them through those symmetrical lines and patterns. Take care and thank you for sharing your Godgiven talent with us

That dog is very used to seeing snakes everywhere! Amazing art.

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought that you were poking a snakes eye with a needle. That’s how realistic it looks! Super cool stuff

The Walking stick wizard King! Love these Videos.

I'm going through a heartbreak and the calm nature of your videos simply make me feel better, so thank you for that mr Stinnett. But you also got me worried there was no "and I'll see you on the next one".

I’m forever blown away by your talent & ability to see & get every tiny detail, color & texture so realistic & anatomically correct! You’re just amazing & so is Pearl! I always look forward to seeing her!💚 She looks like she’s eating well too lol!

This is, I don't have the words. The most beautiful piece of art of a cane I ever seen.

I'm a very huge fan of everything you do and I love your work. Greetings from Russia!

People use the word awesome way too often, but your work is nothing short of awe inspiring. I always look forward to your next video. Thanks so much for sharing!

Nice one mate. I can't wait to watch this. I have wild rose stems I've saved for 11 years, around 2" diameter, 3 to 5ft long. I'm now saving the carving for the blackouts I expect soon. Learned a lot from your work. It'll be something to do with no power. Your videos are doing more good than you know mate. Thanks.

To be honest if i didnt watch this and you showed me that in person and told me it aint a real snake i would've started to doubt reality. GOOD JOB man love your work.

I love that this time around it's not a snake around a stick, the snake _is_ the stick and it works really well. Always a relaxing moment to watch you work :)

Absolutely amazing Mike. I can't imagine how many days go into making your beautiful creations.

Wow....Doing the snakeskin was the end for me lol...My nerves wouldve never stood it. Thank u for sharing your beautiful work

Calling that a work art falls short on how really awesome that is😉

I just love your bonding..dog and man together just love it.

If I saw that lying on the ground, I would jump back in alarm!! Bravo🐝🤗❤️

The wood snake is so beautifully designed and how the snake looks so realistic

the art, music, and flow of the video are all amazing, but im always especially excited for the little clips of Pearl! shes so sweet!

Awesome job , one of these days I love to see a rattle from snake hooked on walking stick to go along with the great patterns of stick

Your art is unique. We do not have masters like you in the world in the number of fingers. Accurate! Patient and artist.

It’s always a better day when you post a video!

Have to say ones more how relaxing and inspirational your videos are. Still use your music to calm down at work or when fiddling with stuff. Cant get enough of it.

I don't really comment on videos, but, my god, that's beautiful. Simply amazing work.

I feel like It's gonna strike out and bite me at any second! Insanely talented individual you are!

This was very relaxing to watch. Thank you, sir! It was wonderful to sit and watch on the side whilst I got my work done. Felt like i was relaxing next to you. Have a good day!

This guy is a god damn genius, his time and skill on making this beautiful walking stick, I,d be proud to own something like that

Brother, watching these just never gets old. God bless, all the best to you and Pearl.

This is proper life My respect from London uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 really appreciate it

Glad to see you and old Pearl girl are well! Love your work and your videos, amazing work as always, you’re an inspiration! Can’t wait to see your next one! God bless

Incredibly talented artist. Your patience and intricate detailing is unprecedented, Sir!

Sure wish I was on your place and experience the true peacefulness surrounded by mother nature.....they never fail to amaze me and help me relax

The most beautiful artwork I've seen in years

Another beautiful masterpiece Mike…love to Pearl 💕

I absolutely love your videos. It's the most calming videos on KZfaq & ontop of that, you create the most amazing art work... You are a huge inspiration as to being so calm, humble & gentle....May you continue for many many more years....

Nice to see you back doing what you do so well Mike I always feel so calm watching you carve and little Pearl is truly a treasure another great video Mike until the next one regards to you all

Thanks Mr Stinnett it’s a highlight when I see you’ve posted another video. You could just lean that one on the fence to keep the cat from Pearls eyesight. Fantastic again thanks. 👍🏻

This is the artistic masterpiece jem ...truly dazzling to 👌👌👌🙏 ..keep showing this kinda work to our generation who knows maybe someone got inspired

I am amazed by the skill and craftsmanship, the rattlesnake turned out great!

Just amazing. The patience and dedication required... I don't know if I could bring myself to actually use it. I'd be frettin' over any dirt and scratches it might collect.

A real nice piece good to see your both well ... Mark

Aaaah Mike, absolutely no words, your work is just so fabulous, one cant say enough……thank you so much for sharing……hugs and love for pearly whirley…..take care and be safe from South Africa My hubby says he wishes he could come there to learn from you

Very nice! God has certainly gifted you with an amazing talent.

Каждый раз порожаюсь вашей работой, вы очень искусный мастер 👍 да уж не мало трудов и терпения вложенно в изделие.

I really like that one, I like how it twists and turns to face you. Another masterpiece well done. Pearl is such a good girl 🙂. Keep up the good work Mr Stinnett 👍👍👍

Pearl is living the life! :)

A closer look at the man behind the Masterpieces! Wonderfully done....thank you!

This mans work is incredible, he's a master

Привет Майк. Отличная работа. Привет Жемчужине.

Omg 😲 that is so realistic.. Amazing job...🤗👏 U deserve alot...😄

Wow! I'm lost for words, your craftsmanship is beyond extraordinary

If I had not watched you just carve and paint that master piece, and you just showed me it . I would of believe that it was a real snake and you was a taxidermist.

I admire how patient you are with each scale you place. Keep up the great work...and we all know Pearl is the boss lol

A sunny day, fishing line's been cast, and a Pearl keeping watch as you nap on his lap is time well spent Mike might say....

This video shows what a true artist is for me: a combination of creativity and skill, plus the work seems so easy to make when you watch it! But I can imagine how much time and effort it took to complete it. My highest respects, chapeau!

The amount of talent is just mind blowing

This is so comforting to watch your beautiful work and videos I’ve had a rough two years and I’m trying to deal with the losses I’ve had it’s 2023 and last year I lost my sister in my arms at my house the day before thanksgiving this year I lost one of my closest relatives who was like a brother to me in my house and a very dear man friend of mine who I’ve known for over 30 years my cousin parished in August and my very dear friend parished in September I love watching your videos it soothes my broken heart and helps me get on with my day and Pearl always puts a smile on my face thank you Mike God bless you and your family

😍Omg the dog,I’m so in love😍!

move over world a true crafts man walks the land with his Jack. Awesome

IM SPEECHLESS , ..... just beautiful .

this is one video worth watching, there's something magical about the harmonica at the far back playing...theres something that i cant explain by the atmosphere...really and truly art is one magnificent thing. perhaps its the love of snakes that i have as well. one compliment is that you do know your thing, your hands do the magic

I love your videos so much... the peace and calm i attain while watching your videos are beyond explanation... Oh i wish so much i could meet you in my life.. and you are someone I wish to see myself living like, with peace and traquility and to be able to do that what i love.... and I wish I could somehow be able to have one of your carved walking stick so that when i am old and would need one... I would have your memory with me... You inspire me Sir....

Amazingly beautiful work!!! I don’t even need a cane, but damn if I wouldn’t display this on my wall! SO realistic!

Your work is always mind blowing, and a big thankyou to your wife for the work she does so we can enjoy your fantastic skills.

I love it when the materials just tell you what they want to be. 😁

Another great piece, nice to see the master carver at work, thanks for all the tips! 🙏🏻

This is truly a masterpiece

I love these canes he makes they have such fine detail and realistic too them

That is more than museum quality 👌 👏 ✨️ 🙌

Beautiful work wish my brother was alive he would of love to have one. God bless you Sir

Good to see you upload a video again. Mr. Stinnett. I hope you and yours are doing well.

Another masterful work. Well done! As always, Pearl steals the stage.

Can things be made in such a way by hands , I am remaining open eyed !! What shall I say about the teacher of best teachers? I am bowing down to his Sacred feet🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞 Jay Shree Ram

What a wonderful dog you have.
