    "When I'm out in the forest, I'm always on the lookout for wood that has a one-of-a-kind (unique) shape"
    "The fire swept through here and killed many of the smaller trees."
    "The problem is, that the base of many of them are too rotten to carve"
    "I finally found one that has just the right shape to it and it doesn't have any rot"
    "I store these in my wood shed until they are dry and ready to carve"
    "Here's one I have had curing for a while, and I know just what I"m going to make out of it"

    I think what really sells these snake carvings is the incredible detail you give, particularly in the scales. All of those little touches add up.

    "Why are you stabbing that snake in the eye?" Is what i initially thought when I saw the thumbnail.
    ...
    Then I looked at the title, and was like "oh, that's a carving!" Lol.
    ...
    So, good job making it look realistic. :)

    The most magical thing about the videos and instagram posts about the sticks being slowly given form is that how they transfom again and again with every steps. They attain an amazing form every time with each step of the procedure! All of which is very educational!
    Also the amazing music artists, anyone into music will be inspired greatly! and the nature, everything in the videos has some form of lesson for us!

    In this video you showed a little more detail carving the eyes and head. You are so patient and so disciplined. I'm just amazed by your artistic abilities. Thanks for sharing with us.
    Oh, and Pearl made some appearances too!
