How to Carve a Peach

[@BigPunisher-hl2th]

Phenomenal! It’s amazing how the simplest forms of art are the most complex!

[@tomascastelazo6012]

I really want to thank you for the immense value of your tutorial. You are a natural in many ways, your explanations of techniques and how to read the wood are precious!!! But the real jewel is the spontaneous comments and life observations that you share while sharing your knowledge!!! Many, many thanks!

[@shaileshmd71]

A piece of “wood” was made a “live fruit” by use of your talent and imagination. I can not fathom how you have managed to learn and teach the basics as well as advanced technique of carving. Your passion to teach is admirable. Congratulations for being so thoughtful. Please keep publishing, us hacks could always learn more. Thanks again.

[@Apotheosis64]

Thanks so much! I am just getting started and it really helps to watch the process from beginning to end like this.

[@johnwoods9995]

same for me, even though i studied carving fulltime for a year, i still feel like I've just started

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

Excellent tutorial, I am planning on carving a frame for one of my paintings. The painting is a rose and I want the frame to have rose stems, thorns and a rose in each corner. The wood is pine. This will be my first experience at carving. I know I'm biting off more than I can chew, but hey, that's just me. I would like to add color to frame, maybe by making my own stains. Do you cover any staining processes?

It's so satisfying seeing you work on basswood because it shaves like butter! Currently, I'm doing a project on a log of driftwood and it's proven a fair challenge. It's not secured so I'm fighting to hold it the whole time, it's a tubular surface instead of flat and maybe it's because of the wood type (pine, I'm not too sure) or the fact that it's driftwood but it can flake off/get chewed up easily on the very detailed areas. I'll still probably just use whatever I come across outside but if I'm ever looking in stores, I'll be sure to try out a nice flat piece of bass!

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

I would have tried a "V" base with some type of cushioning (towel)

[@charlievillanuevavlog]

Hello, I've been watching your videos. Really clear explanation of the basics. You are a big help. All the best!

[@jimstools3937]

You do AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL work. Please don't stop.

[@SilverCoinStudios]

just getting in too carving and i have just finished a carvingknife this week(I have made several knives before) And it's just really fun to carve out little wood spirits in canes and i have just started on a desktop totem pole! Your videos are really helping and showing new techniques! Sorry fi my spelling is bad im a thirteen year old swedish boy! :D

[@marymay155]

Filip, I'm glad the videos are helping. Carving in any style is fun! Enjoy!

[@laurencefegan1875]

Apart from giving this here 'wood - butcher' some valuable advice, these vids are so hypnotic to watch!

[@markneurohr9663]

This was fun to Watch Mary. Your explanation and technique for working with the grain is awesome! Think I might be getting it! 😉

[@quaxenleaf]

It might be useful to show the effects of a damaging cut so folks can learn exactly what you mean by not following the grain pattern. Excellent video. Thanks so much for this!

[@mikemoyle1996]

Thank You, your very talented Mary.

[@marymay155]

Thanks everyone! Happy carving!

[@dwayneorca8542]

Mary May i subscribe

[@charliekingpin8568]

Just like to say may thanks for all your help I'v got some gouges and some wood so it's all got here. Keep up all the great videos :)

[@timlist4173]

I am a bit curious about getting into this. I have a whittling set now. What would you recommend?

[@bkjackson8092]

I have a dumb question, but I'm not following the bit about switching directions for the grain. I just saw a vid by someone else who explained the same thing (he mentioned learning from your videos). What is confusing is if you are looking at a piece of wood, as in this video, the grain looks like it runs left to right (or right to left, whatever) so if you are chiseling a pattern such as your peach on the wood, it seems like almost all of the circumference of the peach is against the grain? I don't know if I'm making sense. Is there a specific video that discusses this in more detail?

[@deannwagner9961]

You want to go with the grain on the side that is against the wood you want to keep.

[@amandaodeay1509]

Wow really nice! Amazing instruction! Will definitely have to try this!

[@craigbarton5605]

I’ve been watch your beginner videos and have one question where can I find templates for your carvings. I can’t seem to draw a stick figure much less a peach you have in this lesson. Your videos are great. Thanks

[@MessickGreg]

Mary doesn't the leaf have a spine that usually sticks up instead of just a line

[@thomasarussellsr]

Well you did just peachy on this carving. Made my mouth water. Thanks a lot, now I gotta run into town and get some peaches. 😃

[@marymay155]

Glad you are enjoying the videos :)

[@jarodbartels5641]

Excellent camera work. Very easy to follow along and get wrapped up in the video...I even blew away some scraps.

[@marymay155]

Thank you! I do that when I am reviewing the videos 😁

[@alvarotapia9336]

Hello, what wood is it?

[@dmm1234561]

I want to order the tools for the peach and where do I order the tools for the peach

[@richardlamb2551]

Can I ask what wood is it you are using? It looks quite soft! Seems to cut really smoothly!

[@tpobrienjr]

Thank you for a very instructive lesson.

[@giusepperizzo4460]

Which kind of Wood is this?

[@Rosel_24]

This is so satisfying!!!

[@esmatawwad8610]

What the best wood to cave with ? Thanks Mary for this art.

[@marymay155]

Basswood or butternut are great woods to start carving with. Have fun!

[@robertbrunston5406]

Very nice, thanks.

[@Servant_Friend_Son]

You can tell that you no how to sharpen some tools or no someone that does, it almost sounded like a razor cutting through a sheet of paper. I'm still a little shaky on sharpening my gouges and V's. Good video

[@KevlarGorilla]

I could carve a peach for hours.

[@DD-oy4tx]
