Incredible! This is beyond a masterpiece. Every part of the making of this stick is so detailed, so painstaking, so skilled--the wood is perfect, the concept art is perfect, the careful carving of each element--you have surpassed yourself. The finished project is just glorious. I truly love this piece and all the subjects you carved to go into this. I think the red-winged blackbird is the crowning jewel, but it is by far not the only jewel on this piece. This is a masterwork, this video is a masterclass. Mike, you are the master carver. Bless you and your family!

God has made that nature so beautiful. And you see it and carve it, that it looks just as amazing as the original - just wonderful! Whatching your videos really helps me, just to carve and having fun with my own way to do it. And then try and try and try again.

I admire anyone that can take a piece of wood and create a piece of art. I just watched a documentary on Michelangelo and was mesmerised by his use of marble. I can take an empty space the larger the better and not feel daunted, you give me a piece of wood and I am stumped. Admiration to you Mr Stinnett, your love of nature and it's value in a world where man thinks he/she is master of all (which I find so, so vile, arrogant and destructive) is a joy to behold. If everyone planted a tree and created a habitat just think how happy nature would feel. Go on help nature out folks, you know she deserves a helping hand now. Pick up an acorn, fill your pockets and plant them, in a free space of course and watch what happens. Nature is better than any movie, tv show or pop channel. Give it a go!!

Absolutely beautiful, and easily my current favourite of all the sticks you've carved! Without mentioning any of the animals; even just the layered reeds have so much attention to detail and movement in them! I've carved only a few things myself, but you've inspired me to make my next (current) project a walking stick.

Sooo Wunderschön deine Arbeiten! 🌹 Love To You

I've always loved your work on making snakes! but this one is even more awesome with everything combined!

This one is by far my favorite. It's everything I've grown up around in Wisconsin. It feels like home to me.

Give yourself a little bit more credit. I bet if you took the time and started practicing and learning, you could be able to create the same type of walking sticks he does. He has already said in an older video that all he did was start making them and the more he did it and studied the the better he got. You can have the talent just the same. If you did a project now and kept doing it, just in one year you will have improved your skills then your first project.

Amazing work as always. The detail is amazing, and to think you start with such a large piece of wood is mind-blowing.

I've loved all of your carvings , period. However something about this one struck a cord with me. I was very interested on how you would handle the transparency of the dragonflies wings, as I watched you crave it. I wasn't disappointed, your method was beautifully done. The crayfish, what we call crawdads in Indiana, holding onto the snakes tail is charming as well as lifelike. I have a avid interest in watching birds, and your red-wing blackbird looks as though he could fly away at any time. Thanks for this video on this weekend, you made my day. All my best to you and yours, enjoy this labor-day you've earned it.
