3" x 5" wood block engraving
The Center for the Book in San Francisco offered another wonderful class last weekend. This time it was a class in wood engraving with Rik Olson as the instructor. Rik is an absolutely first-rate instructor, and I have been assured that I can be just as good as he is if I only work at my engraving every day for the next forty years. This is the print I was able to complete during the workshop. It is without a doubt the best engraving I have ever done!
I have ordered a bunch of engraving tools, and I am waiting very impatiently for them to arrive so I can start work on another engraving.

A lovely print. I think you'll reach master status in just 20 years :)

Always glad to hear that you are not yet a master (in your own eyes) as this gives me encouragement (I'm the guy several miles behind you!).
Please understand: I treasure the prints of yours which I have -- they teach me!
As for impatience and engraving, that's your oxymoron of the day - learning to be patient while waiting for engraving tools is part of the engraving learning curve. (Just a tease, my friend!)
Keep up your terrific work.
I love your print.

I just love this - how many copies did you make? would you sell one or trade? plannedscapes@aol.com
