What a 5 minutes I have spent. totally satisfying.
Beautiful realistic carving, Mike. You must have the patience of a saint because all that detail is so immense. Another Work Of Art, hats off to you, Mike.

Thank you very much!
The fact that the whole cane *is* the snake, is my favourite part!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I stepped on a copperhead and got bit, four days in the hospital, free helicopter ride, 8 weeks getting back on my foot. Labor Day 1990. I have a great deal of respect for the snake and your fantastic work Sir!
It amazes me how realistic your carvings are. You are absolutely the best wood carver I've ever seen. My uncle who is gone now was an amazing wood carver also back before power tools and he did everything with knives. I used to love looking at his carvings. It's more then an art, it's a gift that very few people have.

Your designs are wonderful. I love this art too. When I look at my designs with your designs, there are many flaws in my designs. I learn by looking at your designs. So thank you very much. have a great day.

Not long ago, someone made a comment on another channel, I think it was Celebrating Appalachia, about people saying Copperhead snake. Interesting to hear you use the term! I probably wouldn't have even noticed if I hadn't seen that comment a few days ago. Keep up the good work! Your copperhead snake looks real!

Mike, my friend I hope you’re doing well, it’s been awhile since we’ve talked. I love when those copperheads are made by you. One of my favorite snakes. Pearl wasn’t having the squirrel in her territory, she meant business. I hope everyone is doing great and tell them I said howdy. We’ll talk soon buddy

Hey, Jered! It's great to hear from you buddy! We're all doing good! I know you're busy, but we need to visit more often. I enjoy making the little copperheads. they have a nice pattern to paint. Pearl is like Barney Fife. She's always on the job, keeping law and order around here! Just this morning, she chased off two cats that were "loitering" under the bird feeder! Everyone is doing good, and says to tell you howdy! Talk to you soon!
u never failed to amaze me
Absolutely love your channel. I would love to see you carve perel. That would be a cool carving to watch.
