TRANSCRIPTION
"Hello! Today I'm working on a Rattlesnake staff. This is number 80. It is going to have a little mouse on it.
(1:29)The industrial wheel has two carbide teeth on it. It cuts very fast and makes a 3/8 inch depth cut. I remove the wood with a chisel.
(3:20) The mouse on this project has perplexed me. I want it to be climbing up the side of the stick, just out of the reach of the Rattlesnake.
(3:33) I searched the internet for reference pictures. But I could not find anything that looked exactly like I wanted.
(3:42)I don't know how many times I sketched it again before I actually began to carve.
(3:50)I finally began to remove the wood without any assurance of how the project would turn out.
(4:35)Do you see that bird?
(4:59) You're looking at the wrong bird!

This young man does some great wood art carving. As a carver myself I know first hand the time and patience that it takes to create a one of a kind work of art. Unfortunately its an art that is dying out today people want to do things fast and when it comes to selling your work they don't want to pay you for that time and patience it took to make what ever it is you have made with all your heart and sole. It on trucken friend.
The fact that he burns it all in, instead of painting it, is amazing...
When this stick gets petrified, 100 millions years from now, people are going to claim it is a fossil of a real mouse.

One thing I know with absolute certainty. Your sticks will still be around 150 years from now. Everybody who owns one will treat them as the fine piece of art they are, as will their children and grandchildren. Not only are you a master craftsman but a keen and loving observer of nature and it's creatures. Greetings from Germany
the attention to detail is really admirable, left no stone unturned

Everyone should push their skills to discover their hidden talents as well; to see how far they can be developed. I believe at least trying out any new skill makes your appreciation for great talent; even greater.
This is the seventh stick I've seen you carve and I'm just blown away again. Amazing.
The talent is off the scale to see this in your head and then make it come to life, amazing!
THIS is precisely one of the things the internet does best. Allowing a sublime insight into someone's stunning creativity from half way round the world that would not have been possible. Thank you Mike Stinnett (and Tim Berners-Lee!!)
