Woodblock trial … #3

Third block all ready to start image carving. Same image to maintain a level of consistency.b3s1Material used: reclaimed scientific instrument box made from Beach and Birch plywood.   The surface layer of ply was good but I was not impressed with internal layers and some voids.  I’ve carved about 60% of the line work, the choice of wood/block is not aesthetically pleasing. I have more uses for plywood than you shake a stick at, but, I don't plan on using it for future blocks.  I’ll finish the carving and print a few samples.

Block #3, I finished the carving, except deepening some of the open areas. 20180917_125112Blocks 1, 2 & 320180917_125204
