Leith MacDonald | About the Prints

1. Carved Block: I use a vairety of wood everything from Sina Plywood and Birtch Lauan to Drift Wood and Cherry Planks
2. Paper: Torn to size waiting to be printed
3. Glass Ink Slab: I roll out my ink on this Mirror Glass Slab using an Ink Knife and Brayer. Tape is used to mask teh edges of the block when inking
4. Printing Blocks: My Printing Blocks were cut from a 2x4 and I use a wooden spoon to get details
5. Mark Making Tools: I love to use Japanese Chokokuto to carve with I also use Sand Paper and Wire Brushes to make marks
6. Sharpener: A couple quick strokes on this horse hide keeps my knives razor sharp
7. Print: Here is the print on paper, notice it is a mirror image of the block
