No band-aides or blood on the wood, this is a good sign. Excellent work!
Haha! Yeah, a big part of learning to whittle is how not to cut myself, lol! Thank you, Scott!
I wish I could have told you ahead of time how hard pear wood is, but I think you already knew that. I look so forward to your videos, Mike. My favorite UA-cam guy! Love that coffee spoon. They ate hard to find anymore. Another of the lost arts. I love the lodge at Mt. Hood, as well as the very few old forest service cabins that remain. When I was a kid I went to many of them. All of them had hand made furniture and carvings and such. They worked harder than any of us do today. They didn't go to the store for food. It was canned in jars and tasted way better. Just like your videos!! Canned pears!!
@@joeehrlich2898 Well, I found out how hard it is, but I really like how smooth it finishes. Yes, the old timers really worked hard for a living!
Nice looking piece. Great blending transition of the fish tail into the bowl of the spoon.
Thank you very much!
It doesn't matter what tool you have in your hand, you still create art! Thanks for sharing.
Amen❤
Wonderful to see you continuing to create in various ways, and to see Miss Pearl trotting along with you. :)
Thank you!
I love the coffee spoon Mike.. The way you incorporated the fish as the handle was brilliant. So cute. ♥️👍
Thank you, Nena!
I think your subscribers would like to see you do a carving of your sidekick Pearl. Who's with me
Pearl😂🐶👏🏻
Beautiful. Particularly love the way the tail meets the bowl of the spoon.
Thank you, Colin!
Mike agrees, you need to train constantly, like in sports. I have CNC machines, but I always do something with my hands, otherwise you forget the skills. Good luck friend! +
Yes. I carve with power tools so much that I forget how to use a knife. It's always good to keep in practice. Thank you, and Good luck my friend!
Absolutely lovely Mike. I think Pearl agrees too. Thank you for sharing. Much love
Mike this turned out great, I love to knife carve. It is so relaxing to just let the wood tell me what it wants to be, and I love seeing you with Pearl, we lost our 10 yr. old golden 2 weeks ago and it has been so heart breaking but seeing you and Pearl is a bright spot Thanks and your spoon looks great.
I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏
Thank you so much @@Eibmozluver
I'm sorry you lost your dog, Joe. They become a special part of the family. I dread the day when we lose Pearl. She's such a good little buddy. Thank you my friend!
Seeing you with Pearl is a great pleasure. God Bless@@StinnettSticks
Practice make perfect.
I love the paw print on pears back
Great job on the Coffee spoon. Gotta agree with you on being able to enjoy lifes simple pleasures. Kicking up your feet and enjoying the days while on your porch whittling is truely a blessing most dont know now a days. Only thing your missing is a tasty beverage.
For someone that said his knife skills weren't all that good, this turned out AMAZING!!!
Mike’s modesty skills are also on point.
Everything piece of wood you work turns into pure magic 🙏🏼❤️😘
Pearl😂❤️😘
Thank you! Working with a knife is so much different than power carving. Learning to maneuver the blade without cutting myself is the goal.
if i ever make it as far as you have in life man....i really hope that i can have a future like this. Sitting down in a rocking chair with some wood in nature just carving away...thats sounds like the dream
Pearl is soooo cute!
Looks great Mike . We don't have water birch but we do have white birch and it carves nice . Thanks for the video .
Thanks, Glen! I wish we had white birch down here. The bark makes great fire starter, and it is good carving wood! I tried the water birch and it carves nicely.
You did a great job on widdling that piece of hardwood with a pocket knife Mike 👍👍and Pearl is still just as cute as ever 🫶
Thank you, Brenda!
I've just carved my first spoon...it looks like a small rudimentary canoe but I'm so proud. I loved your video, this is what I aspire to - looking forward to watching more of you and Pearl's adventures 😊
Your wood carving is much like my bead work. I picture in my mind the pattern and colors I wish to use and just let my hands be the guide and watch as my work comes to life.
Sir, you are a wonderful person who works very professionally. Thank you
You are most welcome! Thank you!
Wonderful craftsmanship! Each of your handmade pieces are one of a kind and have their own unique features.
Thank you, Gary!
Wow what a great idea Mike, My wife carved a beautiful white tail deer she made like a mount on the wall. I made a glass case for it . I just got out of hospital with neck surgery over a month no voice, I got it back a few days ago. I started to think my wife had my voice box removed LOL God bless to you and family Mike
Thank you, Rodney! I'd like to see the whitetail your wife carved!
I hope you are doing better after your surgery! I'm glad you finally got your voice back! Had a good laugh about you suspecting that your wife may have had your voice box removed, haha! I pray that you will be heathy! God bless you, my friend!
If you want, you could send me a picture at mike.stinnett.art@gmail.com
That's great, Mike. Your "not very good" is still an expert touch. Hi to Pearl.
Bill
Thank you, Bill!
lovely piece, I love seeing Pearl she is adorable.
Fantastic design, always good to see the end results of your woodworking, And little Pearl helping too.
Thank you very much!
Cualquier trozo de madera con usted se vuelve una obra de arte
I like your Coffee spoon/scoop. You did a good job! I have done a lot of wood carving and still have my tools. It is very relaxing. I appreciate your videos and have your book. I have never seen anyone who can carve, paint, and finish a wood carved snake like you do. YOU are EXCELLENT at your work. Keep it up.
Thank you very much, Tom! I appreciate that!
A creative and beautiful coffee spoon, Mike you never cease to amaze me.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for saying that carving with a knife is difficult. Coming from you this makes me feel better about the projects that I take on with my pocket knife. I love pocket knife carving, but the "finished product" is always very rough. Great coffee spoon! This has definitely inspired me to try something like this in the future.
It is difficult. It takes a whole different set of skills, but it sure is enjoyable.
Beautiful. ❤ Pearl.
Now that’s something I have to try , I have done spoons and forks , knifes . But just plain handle’s , I like that fish handle , maybe a bullet one or something else. Awesome job thanks for showing and getting me thinking.
You're welcome, Lyle! I enjoyed carving the handle a lot. I will be doing more spoon handle carvings in the future. I know you will enjoy it too!
День добрый ! Всегда смотрю ваши ролики!Красивые работы !👍
Thank you!
Buon pomeriggio dall' Italia 🤗🇮🇹 Mike , bellissimo il progetto del cucchiaio la tua arte è sempre speciale ❣️
Thank you very much, Manuela!
Whatever you do, it's always a pleasure to watch.
Thank you!
Wonderful finished product! You are multi-talented! Pearl cracks me up sometimes. 😆 You live in a beautiful part of the country. I’m in the Ozarks, and we heard the first spring peeper tree frogs a few days ago. I guess spring is here early.
Thank you very much! Wow, the frogs are already croaking! I hope it's going to be an early spring this year!
Lovely video Mike. Right back to the roots with nothing but a sharp edge. Pearls looking well fed!
Thank you kindly, Joshua! I think Pearl eats about as much as I do, Haha!
*Kia ora (hello) Mike, going back to basis of 'whittling' is always good to remind oneself, how it was all done back in the day. To incorporate a spoon with a fish handle is gorgeous. Thanks again as I love your videos. Give Pearl a pat from me again. 🙂nz*
Thank you, Andrea! It's fun to create something with a sharp knife. I enjoyed it!
Very unique project. I really liked the way you carved the fishes tail on the bottom of the spoon. And I believe Peral is starting to try and steal the show.
I love to see you carve Mike! You inspired me to carve my own walking sticks and some spoons and generally working with wood... good to know you and pearl are doing good! Love from Chile!
That's great! I'm glad I've inspired you to carve! Thank you!
Way more patient than me. I normally go too far before stopping to sharpen or hone my blade and end up taking too long. Great looking spoon!
Mignonnette est dosette pour croquettes de Pearl. adorable😊
Beautiful spoon!!! I also want to say Pearl is the best partner and friend you could have. She really is a "pearl"
Thank you, Timothy! Yes, Pearl is a good little buddy!
Very cool! You got skills for sure just the fact you didn't draw any blood!
The Trout Coffee Scoop would surely brighten the user's day, and most likely make their coffee taste better as well, Mike. It's delightful. 👍
Mike, Thanks for another great video, but it's a little ironic that you should post this one today. I spent the rare sunny afternoon going in the opposite direction, working on getting more familiar with the rotary shaft since these old hands don't have the grip strength to whittle for hours like I used to. I do like the peace and quiet of knife work--listening to the creek and the birds. Your videos have shown me so much of what the bits can do that I'm thinking I need to get some practice with that since I have a lot of interesting wood waiting in the shed that I want to get to. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Thanks also for mentioning Treeline. They had the pelican blades that I had been looking for for a long time. Pats to Pearl!
You keep whittling, and I'll keep watching...
TNX 4 VID LOL
Thats pretty neat Mr. Stinnett. Great job. Man of many talents.
This is a great carving idea for one of my camping trips by the lake
When I've had a hectic or trying day, it's always so relaxing to watch you and Pearl making art
I'm glad you enjoy our videos, Amy! Thank you!
Mr.Stinnett yout videos are the most rewarding and relaxing on the Internet!! Thanks SO much for the great outdoors and wonderful music you ad to your videos!!!! You are a young man Iam an OLD TIMER that carves with an OLD TIMER pocket knife!!!!! Ha ha ha!! You are great whatever you do,very talented ( a gift from GOD( JESUS) my savior!!!! May JESUS bless you and yours .... always!!!! 😊
Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate you kind words! I have an Old Timer knife too, Haha! May the Lord Jesus bless you too!
Great work again Mike,that log with the nice green moss made it stand out when you placed it down.
Thank you, Jeff!
I love to carve little characters. I make up stories about each one and every character connects to each other. All my characters live in a fictional place call Carving Town. Never is boring
I enjoy seeing your creativity in all your various projects. The trout spoon turned out beautiful. It makes me think of trout fishing ( and eating ) this spring. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much, Steve!
It’s so much more peaceful than power carving
That spoon is beautiful btw 😮
Thank you! Yes, I enjoy whittling much more.
Pearl was saying " look at this stunning work my human has done " 😁
And she's absolutely rigth, i'm always so amazed by your art 😊.
Greetings for you and
Cuddles to miss Pearl 😊
Haha! Thank you!
Waaaauuuuu is an amazing desing, maked a piece of art with a simple stick
Thank you!
My blood pressure just went back down to normal while watching this relaxing and enjoyable video! Really turned out great and love the music too! PBS TV should run your videos! Reminds me a little of the documentary of the man who built a cabin in the Alaska wilderness. Dick Proenneke. Nice Dog too!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Dan! Thank you!
Вы очень приятный человек.И занимаетесь любимым делом.Очень рад за вас.
Terrific carving of that coffee scoop Mike & I see that Pearl also wholeheartedly approved as well! Love that Dog! 🐶🐶👍👍
Thanks, Steve! Pearl was really interested in the walnut oil. It must have smelled good to her, haha!
It looked like Pearl was voting against pear wood. I laughed. Good job, Mike!
I used blackthorn and pear wood for a project.
both very hard woods but i loved the colours so much, i could not resist. and the natural forms they give are just awesome.
in the end its so worth it if the time and patience can be put into it.
Blackthorn doesn't grow around here, but we do have hawthorn, which is a close relative. I'll have to try to carve hawthorn someday. I agree, it takes a lot of patience to carve the hard woods, but it is worth it.
Mike I would say you're really a highly skilled (knife carver) whittler! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to mention this video in the next episode of Wood Carving Weekly.
Thank you, Jack! I appreciate that! I power carve so much that I haven't spent enough time to feel comfortable with using knives. It's a whole different set of skills to learn. Mostly learning to not cut myself, haha!
LOL! Yep me too! I've only needed stitches once and that was enough!@@StinnettSticks
Nice! Especially the tail detail on the back!
That’s awesome! You can do anything with wood. Your amazing 🤩
I'm a scroll saw kinda man ,,,I make non woven baskets and non collaspible bowls ,,,but I first got started 40 yrs ago wood carving then it lead to,scroll saw work ,,,but I always admired peiple who carved with wood ,,,,the snakes canes amaze me
Thank you, Dennis!
Lovely video as always. Very clever design. Pearl is such a lovely little dog.
Thank you, Kieran!
We missed you!! ❤️🪵
Another episode of Mike finding the secret shapes in wood.
❤
Very cool carving, I've been using the better snap-off style knives from Home Depot for a few years now, started using them on vacation when I had left my tools at home. I really love the ultra sharp blades on a pen knife, I feel like I'm drawing my carvings.
Приветствую Майк! Благодарю за видео. Я не знаю английский, но это мне не мешает смотреть твои выпуски всё и так понятно без слов, очень душевно и интересно. Здоровья, творческих успехов.🤗🤝
Thank you, Oleg! If you turn on closed caption on my videos, and then go to setting, you can find the auto translate function so you will be able to read what I say in your own language.
Благодарю дружище, я попросил дочку она мне подключила переводчик, теперь я узнал, что ты для. пропитки используешь ореховое масло, я я варю пропитку на основе льняного масла с добавлением пчелиного воска , канифоли и скипедара. Жду новых сюжетов.🤚
@@user-qs2qd6ey4z I'm glad your daughter helped you find the translator! It will take a lot of applications of the nut oil to fully impregnate the wood. Good luck my friend!
ดูเหมือนง่ายมากๆ สำหรับการผลิตชิ้นงานคุณ งานฝีมือสวยงามมากครับ
Thank you!
Nice :)
Thank you!
Turned out amazing. Looks like you and Pearl really enjoyed the beautiful weather been nice here in Iowa as well. Keep up the great videos
Thank you, Kenny! With the exception of that big snow storm a few weeks ago, the weather has been pretty nice!
Nicely done Mr Stinnett. I couldn't carve with knives im too clumsy.
Amazing 👏
Thank you!
lovely project mike so relaxing to watch and enjoy
Thank you, John! I appreciate that!
Que perfeita linda 😍 colher, que lugar de paz seu dog e linda 😍 abraço
Thank you kindly!
Loved your video and the knowledge you share. Keep posting and I will keep watching.
That's really good work.
That looks really good sir.thanks for sharing this video with us.
Excelente saludos desdé puruandiro Michoacán México👍👍👍👏👏👏
Love watching your skills,it helps me with mine,thanks
Superb craftsmanship! :)
Love the spoons , I enjoy making them myself.
They are fun to make!
Amazing! I exclusively whittle with knives, on the exception I have to use a gouge for certain things. You inspired me to get a micro carving tool so I could add more detail to my carvings. Hope to see more of your creations 👍
I find that wooden clothes pegs make really good little alligators 😁
Thank you, Jimmy! I think I got the micro carving knives from Harbor Freight store. They work great for the fine details!
GREAT VIDEO as Always 🤠
Amigo sou do Brasil, admiro muito seu trabalho. E uma coisa que me deixa feliz é seu trabalho feito sempre com seu cachorrinho ao lado, que Deus abençoe sempre 🙏🙏🙏
I love you videos old man, hugs from Brazil, God bless u sir
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Thanks for the video my friend
You're very welcome, Jeff!
Very cool Mike! ....I myself would've probably used up my entire supply of Band-Aids before I was halfway finished!
Thank you! I had a box handy, just in case, haha!
@@StinnettSticks 😁👍
Stunning work as always sir.
Thank you, Kindly!
Congratulations here from Brazil. I'm learning with you and your precious work.
Thank you, Andre! That's great!
Mike, I carve spoons and I use river birch here in Kentucky. It carves really nice and easy. Great video!!
Thanks, Jimmy! I started carving the birch, and yes, it carves really nice, and takes details well. I'm going to try alder after this one.
that turned out nice!!
Thank you, Timothy!
No words 😊 it's Amazing ❤❤❤
Thank you, Anish!
Amazing work ! Beautiful spoon !
Thank you, Aldo!
Thank you my friend...
Nice one Mike, very inspirational for those maybe considering, but on the fence. Used to love just sitting and carving/whittling when I was a youngster with just my pocket knife, really do need to get myself a few carving knives and start back. Nice little "hack" with the mini diamond files, they are so fantastic for that sort of thing, really help save on sanding, one of the best purchases I made a few years back for wood or metal.
Thank you very much! I really enjoyed this little project, and hope that it will inspire others to give it a try. Yes, I like those files! I use mine all the time. They are really handy!
Nice work, love your spoon
Thank you, Esther!
Your welcome
