So my Great Grandfather, Telemaitre Auger was a sculptor in Quebec. We have pictures of him and his work and it is amazing. He carved the most detailed statues out of blocks of marble with a hammer and chisel. In his spare time, he used to carve pictures in peach pits. My Dad has about 10 of them and Tim as most of you know, works for Skinner Inc. They auction and appraise antiques. Tim brought them into work and we found out that peach pit carving is actually something that originated from China and that they had seen this done before. Tim put together a compilation of the peach pits that my Great Grandfather carved. I just thought I would share it.
