when I feel a bit down in the dumps I watch this genius and his dog, picks me up and makes me want to carve again - thank you so much

I'm only 23 so I don't need a cane or walking stick as of yet. I definitely want to acquire one of these amazing displays of true American craftsmanship. May god bless you and all those who receive your work.

You always just get a kick out of both watching something being made as well as being made by hand. It makes you feel like you're right there with them as they're making it. My Paw-paw is a carpenter. Well he dabbles in it from time to time, making staffs and stuff. Made his own kiddy train for us out of wood and a lawn mower. It's now a little community job for him aside from working at the Good Shepherd Ranch.

Do you use any kind of flex shaft, or just your regular carver? I'm waiting on my micromotor to arrive, and was just curious if you use your micromotor to also remove some stock? Awesome channel btw. You're one of the reasons I wanted to start power carving, keep up the great work!

I myself love to carve, it puts me in a stress free environment. I can only dream of being able to do something like what you do. your carving as well as your video productions are so amazing. could watch them every day. please keep them coming. was wondering however what is the usual diameter of the sticks before you start with the carving process?. A fan from the Hills of West Virginia!

@StinnettSticks

Thank you Jeffrey! I really enjoy carving too, it's fun and relaxing! I'm very happy that you're enjoying the videos! I've been having fun making them! The usual diameter I start with is about 3 1/2 inches. That allows for a nice, fat snake.

What size snake scale tip do you use for the rattlesnake scales? Do you use more than 1 size or do you have a set size that you always use on your rattlesnakes?

Hi, do you have a store? I love your work, and videos! everything I've seen are truly masterpieces! I'm an artist, but never got into wood carving. I'm sure you have a lot of mail, it's because people know beauty when they see it. I'm not far from you, Idaho. God Bless! Christina.

Question: When you burn in the scales, how do you make the scale color look graduated?

The color is achieved by applying more pressure with the point of the burning tip to the areas that I want to be darker.

I suggest curing the wood first to prevent cracking. Seal the ends of the wood with wax or glue, and then place it in a moderate temperatured place standing upright in the same direction it was growing. Leave it for a few months and then begin carving.
