*UPDATE* This carving is now sold, thanks everyone!
This Red-tailed hawk coffee scoop was hand carved by Mike Stinnett. This one of a kind spoon is now available in our online store. You can watch a video on how Mike made it on his YouTube channel @stinnettsticks.
In Mike’s latest YouTube video, he and Pearl spend some time in the mountains to do a little work on his 125th Snake walking stick. Then they head back home to carve the details, and add the finishing touches to this enjoyable wood carving project. Check it out by pressing the button, “Watch Now” above.

Mike shows how he Carves a realistic Rattlesnake from a block of Tupelo wood.
He also enjoyed a break from his regular work to gather materials with his all-wheel-drive Birch E-bike, trailer and saddlebags from Birch Hunters.
Mike Stinnett shows how he carved a small black bear sitting on a highly detailed, carved and painted, rock formation. The bear was made from a piece of tupelo wood and is mounted to a base which was also made from tupelo that has been carved to look like a rock formation. The base features a small recess where keepsakes can be displayed. On the rock’s face is a hint of Native American petroglyphs, and within the recess is a small arrowhead, reminiscent of the many people over time who may have visited that cliff to sit and think, just as the bear is doing now.

I’ve been working on this black bear carving called “The Thinking Rock,” for a couple of months, now. And it’s now finished and currently available for sale on my website, stinnettsticks.com The link will be in the comments. The bear was made from a piece of tupelo wood and is mounted to a base which was also made from tupelo that has been carved to look like a rock formation.

I really enjoyed the challenge of carving a Dracorex Dinosaur fossil skull from Tupelo wood and adding it as a topper for a rattlesnake walking stick. I made it for a man who excavates dinosaur fossils in the Hell Creek Formation of Eastern Montana for the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum.
Watch the making of this walking stick on YouTube!
It took me over 5 weeks to finish Rattlesnake walking cane #115. Its the first time I made a figure 8 with the snake and it ended up being quite a challenge to texture and paint in the hard-to-reach spaces around the curves. I made this one out of one solid piece of Lodgepole Pine.

Here Mike is using an old guitar, but later he upgraded to a Taylor AD17e (Paid Link) series, which is one of the best guitars that he’s had.
