I am trying to do one white line wood print a day
to find, or cause myself as many problems as I can
in order to be as prepared as possible for the Peninsula School of Art Workshop I'm heading up in a few days.
The French Horn and the Trumpet are carved into crummy plywood...think it's called underlayment.
The Guitar is in pine....
newer pine than the 100 year old pine I used for the Small Dog.
I decided to see how fast I could go...
so it was begun and completed between when the coffee kicked in and sometime in the mid afternoon.
Not bad....
not quite what I'm used to seeing...but ok.
What I thought interesting...was how good the color was off the pine.
Tomorrow I'm going to make one of the pine I just got for class...
it's only fair and right for me to know what I'm getting them into.
Funny...except for the "small dog"....
I don't think I've carved much pine. . . cherry, mahagony, shina plywood...I think that's about it.

This came from a scribble I made when at Bill Bryant's Open Mike at CrossRoads CoffeeHouse in CrossPlains, Wisconsin

I don't think I've carved much pine. . . cherry, mahagony, shina plywood...and sugar pine...
yes, sugar pine...really nice.
...I think that's about it.
OK...more later.
