    That’s an incredible spoon, i thought there was no way you had enough wood on the end of the handle to carve a Raven 🐦‍⬛. But as usual you have created another masterpiece. Well done Mr Stinnett.

    This is one of the most badass things that I've ever seen.
    Immaculate talent that nobody could buy. A life very well lived while you're carving a spoon and your dog, the little sweater wearing cutie pie is on your lap. That's what life is all about you know. You've won it. You've achieved what people with hundreds of millions of dollars try every day to do. This whole video screams contentment, talent, and appreciation for the things that life has given us and what we've had to make for ourselves in order to do what we need and what we want.
    If I had to describe this video in one word, and one word only.
    It would be balanced.

    Mike, love it, turned out amazing. Nice to see you taking the path less travelled and experimenting with trying to use only knives/hand tools. Absolutely 100% the biggest thing is learning how to not cut yourself with those sharp carving knives/tools.
    Your brother may have inspired me to finally do something with the 10lbs of clay I bought last year, actually bought it to make my own mug as most are too small, but too many ideas of how to do that floating around, best to keep it simple I guess.

    • @StinnettSticks
      @StinnettSticks  3 місяці тому +1

      Thank you very much! I really enjoy carving with knives, but, man, it takes a lot longer to do a project! I could have made several raven spoons with power tools in the same time, haha!
      You should check out some videos on primitive pottery firing methods. If I wasn't a carver I probably would be a potter.

    • @lynxg4641
      @lynxg4641 3 місяці тому

      Hahaha, yup I can imagine, kind of like only using hand tools to do wood working/build furniture, but oh the reward of knowing that you did it all by hand, the skill required and patience.
      Will definitely check out the primitive firing, because I don't have a kiln, although have seen some simple methods for making one out of an old drum.
