This man needs a Joy of Painting type television show. I would watch this for hours and just learn.
I find this to be very “the joy of painting”. With a bit more technicality. Love it.
Was just about to type how soothing this is. His voice is nice and calm like Bob Ross.
I am a very novice wood carver as well..I've learned an astronomical amount by watching your videos Chris, but one of the most important things I've learned so far is..Wow..Your gouges are sharp..What a beautiful and unique design with the rabbits. Thank you for sharing your Gift with us sir.!
The Bob Ross of wood! I love it! Glad I found this!
I just watched all 34 minutes of this. Very Inspiring.
Excellent instruction Mr. Pye. Interesting and easy to follow.
Brilliantly taught! I've acquired three sets of chisels (don't ask why) and they've sat dormant in my garage cabinet for years. By watching you use each one of your chisels and do what each one is specifically meant to do, I now know what I have to do. Thanks again! From Los Angeles, California.
Send em my way if they are still unused!! I cant afford any but I'm pretty amazing with the tools I have
I have just finished mine. It was my second piece and a gift for my daughter. She was delighted with it. It only took me about 100 hours but there we go. My friend saw it and did a Lino cut of it.
Thank you for being a wonderful instructor on this carving.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do the video. Really helps us that are just getting started in carving. Very much appreciated!
This is out of this world. I never thought these could also be hand made. Awesome sir
Absolutely beautiful! You make me really want to have a go at this.
So relaxing to watch and listen to, and really easy to follow too. Thank you!
i cant explain how satifying it is watching this!!!!
Excellent tutorial!! I love your explanations of the tools, so I know what tool to look for and when too use them; it really helped! Thank you!!
A great subject that shows your skills in carving and teaching.
What an amazing video. I love carving and this is so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Thank you for sharing your technique. Very informative, and quite understandable due to your excellent teaching method. I have carved for nearly 30 yrs, and I enjoyed your show.
Terrific design and execution. This video alone convinced me to get some decent chisels and get carving. My first attempt was a rather amateurish copy of this design, but I learned a lot from attempting it. Thank you.
Beautiful. I love woodcarving!
amazing! just discovered your channel. You are a very good teacher, thank you! (greetings from a small country called Estonia)
Spectacular work. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! SUCH A GREAT TUTORIAL VIDEO!
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE IT!
YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER AND GREAT ARTISAN!
I LIKE WHAT YOU DECIDED TO TO DO IN THE END WITH THEIR TAILS...I MUST ADMIT THAT WHEN YOY SAID THAT U WERE GOING TO DO SOME STIPPLING ON THE BACKGROUND, I WISPERED TO MYSELF "NOOO!" BUT IN THE END, YOU WERE RIGHT AND DID AN AMAZING JOB! IT IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL! IT WAS SO RELAXING TO WATCH!
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS!!
I have never done any wood carving...ever, but you make this look so inviting and relatively doable. That is the mark of a true expert and artist.
Beautiful work. It's definitely got a touch of Celtic knotwork in there.
Excellent, I am currently working on a hare so this helps a lot. Thanks.
Thankyou that's really kind of you to share your ideas!
Very nice work and detailed instruction and suggestions. Thank you very much!
Just beautiful!
I loved it! Thank you so much for sharing!
This was a beautiful process!! Lovely editing and recording! 10/10👏👏👏👏
I'm a potter and I'm currently working on a relief sunflower carving. My first attempt is going pretty good, very slowly 🐌 😅. Thanks for your video!
MARAVILLOSO. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos con todos. Abrazos desde España.
Thank you for the great detail instructions. Learned quite a bit about detail and forming of legs and body.
Your video is awesome. I like the way you explain and the final result ... Wouah !!! Thanks for sharing
I'm currently waiting for my first set of chisels to be delivered and watching this just made the wait seem longer 🤪
Thank you for the time you took to make and upload this video, it was both very educational and enjoyable.
How's it going?
Make a video of your first project ASAP Rocky!
Hi. May I ask from where can I buy good chisels online? Which company manfactyre is recommended? Thanks
Amazing carving
Bravo mister!🥇
Thank you very much❤
Ill do this after I learn to knit lol! Thanks Master carver. San Diego California

Большое спасибо ! Больше бы таких видео !
Loved it
beautiful
Never knew I wanted to carve wood.
Chris - Now you do! Let me warn you: it can be quite addictive...
If you go to the WoodcarvingWorkshops.tv site, you can sign up for just a month and have a good look around and in particular at the Beginners Course.
There's a big download that goes with it too which you should keep and study. Even if you cancel your subscription after the month and don't start now, you'll have a good idea of what you need and where the carving path can lead.
Best advice on your desire to carve or do anything really: Start. And Don't stop
excellent
I appreciate this video....the most i've done with relief carving is with a pocket folding knife...carving "initials" on an outdoor sitting bench ....but never done this kind of beautiful work, as you expertly demonstrate in this video.
I am curious as to the size and types of gouges, chisels your using..
So far you've mentioned some tools...but I am curious as to their sizes and types ..
1:16 = A V-Tool to do the edges
2:03 = a Deep Gouge #9 / #10
•#9 x 1/4, 3/8in. (6, 10 mm)
• #10 x 1/8, 1/4, 3/8in. (3, 6, 10mm)
6:09 = ??size??
8:34 = different tools used. ???
10:08 = Bent Gouge ??size??
10:37 = Short Bent / Spoon Gouge ??size??
15:41 = Vtool
17:42 = Back bent (for curves) ??size??
25:04 = Narrow Gauge ??size??
25:36 = carving knife ??
29:43 = The EYE = #9 x 1/4, 3/8in. (6, 10 mm)
31:33= Skew chisel x 3/8in. (10mm)
31:42 = Punch tool
33:13 = 240 Grit Sandpaper
33:32 = Stiple Punch for background
Tools:
These are the gouges I found most useful:
• #3 x 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 1in. (6, 10, 14, 25mm)
• #5 x 5/8in. (16mm)
• #6 x 1/4, 3/8, 1/2in. (6, 10, 14mm)
• #8 x 1/4in. (6mm)
• #9 x 1/4, 3/8in. (6, 10 mm)
• #10 x 1/8, 1/4, 3/8in. (3, 6, 10mm)
Also 60 deg V tool and skew chisel x 3/8in. (10mm)
Super job 👏👏 looks easy until you try. Having a fair range of tools helps 😉 keep up the good work 😎
تحياتي لك من تطوان المغرب
As a kid I was always surrounded by my peers when I would draw and they kept saying "Man that's so good". I felt like "What don't they get about it? It's easy." I get it now...
Great vedio, I enjoied every minute, thank you for sharing,
What is species of this wood.
Aplausos!
You are so bob ross of carving!! , even though i have no knowledge , its fascinating and now I am thinking to start . Where do I buy all those tools ?
Subhrajit - Don't buy 'all those tools'!
Subscribe to Woodcarving Workshops.tv for a month and take the beginner's course, which starts with just a few, and then build your carving skills and tool collection from there.
Better still, write to me: info@woodcarvingworkshops.tv and I'll set you up with a 2-weeks free trial.
you are very good what kind of wood they use.
Basq Country 👍👏👏🤝
nice
I remember a print like this from Elemental Ceramics
Can I get a print of it
Very impressive indeed! You are really tempting me to start this type of carving. I currently try my hand at chip carving - I've not tried relief carving.....yet. What type of wood do you use? And, what set of knives would you recommend?
AI L - I hope you are more than tempted! The main sort of wood I use, and what I am using here, is Limewood (Basswood). Besides carving well, the light colour shows off the lights and shadows of a shallow relief carving like this.
As for tools, I don't use knives at all, but carving gouges, as you see in the video. There's a beginner's course and many video on carving tools and their sharpening over on the Woodcarving Workshops website. Link at the top, below the video.
What sort of wood are you using - Lime/Linden? Clearly your tools are very sharp but the wood carves so beautifully. Wonderful video
Lime (Tilia sp)
What do you think of birch for carving?
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed your work and learned a ton. Bookmarked!
Never seen a square-shaped 4-pin punch you used at the end of video.
Mind sharing what they call it or where to get one like that?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the kind comments!
That punch is called a 'froster' or 'frosting tool', sometimes called a 'matting tool' and what I am doing is 'frosting' or 'matting' the wood surface. The end looks like a meat-tenderizer, with the size and number of pyramidal points varying according to what surface we carvers are looking for or what background spaces we need to get into
Frosters are easy to make by hatching grooves into something like the head of a soft metal bolt with a triangular file. There are videos on WoodcarvingWorkshops.tv where I show you how to make them, along with a variety of other useful woodcarvers' punches.
you're good, you're very good
Thank you for sharing. What was your final finish?
Ron - I used a simple beeswax polish, which we make on Woodcarving Workshops.tv.
Are you getting some ideas together to help restore that famous church in Paris, seems you are needed there.
what kind of wood do you use? it looks like it cuts so well compared to when I do. When I cut the wood it isn't smooth it has a lot of crevices in it. I have been using pine. do you know if that is the wood or just my technique
basswood and Limewood are the same tree, different continents. Also known as the Linden in some locales.
please let me know what is the name of your wood and the mark of your sharp tools. beacause when I work on some wood , it is not simple as you do. I am very appreciate of you for your teaching
What kind of transfer paper did you use to stick to the wood?
Dear what wood do you use? I am from Argentina. Thank you very much!
How do you level the background in the areas where the walls come to a sharp point. (Like the areas highlighted in green at 5:15 .) After the walls are cut, I can't get the background surface clean and flat. Thanks for your reply.
Really enjoyed your video, learned alot.what wood is it. It looks easy to carve. I keep having alot of problems choosing and getting wood. Please can you help with advice
Katharine - I'd start with an online search: 'wood for carving', that sort of thing. Then see if there are local carvers or a woodcarving club - they'll have had a similar issue. Also check out woodturners (and woodturners suppliers) who use a lot of different woods, and tree surgeons. Perhaps furniture makers or joinery firms; they often throw away off-cuts.
It's a bit of investigative work to begin with, and success will depend where you live of course. Always get more than you immediately need so you build up a store.
You don't really need a lot of wood, mostly for us carvers a little goes a long way time-wise.
Hope this helps!
@@woodcarvingworkshop1 bless you thank you so much.i will take on the challenge. At least now I have some leads to follow that's a great start. Thank you again. 😁
@@katharinecrumpton6314 h
👍👍👍👍
Welp.... I'm hooked.
Thank you for this very informative video and the drawings. Just one question - how deep is the ground? I see it as about 6mm or 1/4”.
Bill - Yes, somewhere about that, but certainly no more. In this sort of low relief carving you need to have a strong outline, ie make biggest change of plane subject to background. All the other changes of plane within the carving are less.
@@woodcarvingworkshop1 thanks, I started yesterday.
what kind of wood did you use for this piece?
Nice work! Before gouging - Wouldn't a stop cut along the lines be helpful so you can gouge & it will hit the stop line without going outside the line.
Hey I have a question, which wood is ideal for carving a relief? Because I really thinking about doing one, but I don't actually know to get into it.
Try to get basswood. It has a nice soft grain that's really forgiving to beginners. Experts can do wonders with it.
What kind of wood is it, and how would this be on cedar? Thanks
Georgavicus 7 -The wood is Lime (Tilia sp). I've never carved cedar but I'd guess it might be too open-grained for this size of the design but would suit larger, simpler projects. Have a go on a spare piece first?
is there is reason you dont do the rough parts with a electric tool?
Where is the depth gauge instructions link?
Do I need special wood for this? I am a total beginner, but I would love to try, and want to start with the easiest wood.
Wylde -It really helps to have good carving wood when you start. (Think about how well you'd get on learning to play a guitar with a funky neck and frets missing...)
I don't know where you are in the world but the simplest thing is to see what local carvers are using. With my style of traditional carving I prefer a plain, light-coloured wood to show off the lights and shadows of the design; and clean grain - in other words without knots. Limewood (US Basswood) is a very good choice, for example, and what I am using here.
Wow 😲 I really love this works but I don’t have any one to help please try and tech me please and how can I get you
Linda - What you see above is a cut-down version of a project which appears on the Woodcarving Workshops website (link above). I've created this website for people like yourself who would like to learn to carve (or want to improve their carving) and, although it's not the same as a class or personal tuition with me, there are quite a few carvers up and running because of it.
Do have a look: there's a beginner's course; much advice about tools, sharpening and how to use them; and a big library of projects, from simple to advanced.
And if you write to me through the contact form on the website, I'll set you up with a 2-week free trial so you can have a good dig around and see if Woodcarving Workshops could work for you.
Best wishes
Chris Pye
Could i use a router to cut out those big areas?
Piano Noir - Yes, of course; a flat surface like this lends itself to a router, though I tend to keep my router for larger areas than here.
The thing is, when you have the hand carving techniques down, as I show here and as I teach on Woodcarving Workshops, you can do it anywhere - on curved surfaces of even inside a bowl - where routers can't reach.
What wood is it
What type of wood is he using?
@@chrispye5149 ahh, of course. I guess it would help if I wasn’t so lazy and read the text. Thank you
Besides his skillfulness in carving and using tools, the sharpness of gauges is beyond normal sharpening skills. Imagine your tools are not 100% sharp and you pluck one part unintentionally and "You are done".
use glue in a situation like that
Could you please answer what is the toolset and how to buy it?
David - There's a link to the tool list and working drawing below the video. Carving tools are readily available, just search online.
woodcarvingworkshop1 thank you.
Спасибо не надо высылать я все нашел на вашем сайте
Is this lime wood?
In the description ...
What kind of wood is it ?
Saitama One - Limewood (Linden in Europe, Tilia sp)
Searching for a printable template for this rabbit project. Anyone know if it exits?
Greg - My working drawing along with a tool list is available to WoodcarvingWorkshops.tv subscribers. You can join up for just a month - about the cost of a coffee and a bagel, and download it. You'll also find more in depth footage of the whole project.
I am a member Chris. Ill search it out on your site. Just got over carple tunnel operation on both wrists and looking forward to my journey with you. Have a good day and better tomorrow! ;-)
@@gregritchie1758 Thanks for subscribing to us. It's definitely a journey! Sorry to hear about the carpel tunnel; I hope you're make a full recovery. Don't forget to add your 3 Hares to the Members Gallery when you are finished!
Incredibly helpful, but you skipped the hare's bodies entirely, was that intentional?
I see that there is an unabridged version available, thank you.
Nerissa - The video is a somewhat abridged version of what you would see on the WoodcarvingWorkshops.tv website and thus, yes, we chose to leave out a few minor bits. It seemed to me that the bodies were really quite easy compared to the other parts of the carving. So, if you can tackle the ears, the bodies shouldn't pose any difficulties.
Are you using a laminated wood of some kind? Or is it a base coat of paint/stain on the wood?
Thanks! @@chrispye5149 Because I'm new to your videos, I think I misperceived the paper design you somehow adhered to the piece as another wood layer of some sort.
