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.

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

Along with the book we need those talented fingers too😀
I`m following your channel for almost two years. Much respect for your skills and work.Best regards from Germany
your dogs the cutest thing ive ever seen in my life! and your talent is beyond
Your videos make me want to get in my shop again. Not only building but now carving again. Give Pearl a treat for me :)
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
Looks like a terrific book Mike! Hope that you sell tons of books! Give that little Pearl a hug for me! 😉😉🐶🐶👍👍

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!

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.
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! :)

I don't wood carve but I know someone who does and this would make a very nice gift for him. I enjoy watching you carve and create useable works of art. I would be proud to own one of your sticks. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Now generations of people can learn to carve as you do.

I'm just getting into carving for use with gunstocks and pistol or knife scales. After months of searching for inspiration I've found two carvers that stand out with such intricate, painstaking detail and incredible realism in their creations. One is you and the other is "Mad Carver" Randall Stoner. I will be buying your book as soon as possible and I'm most thankful you've shared your insight and experiences. Congratulations on being a 1st order master craftsman. Keep up the good work.
