Very helpful. I shied away from MDF bc I didn't think it would give me crisp lines. Clearly I was wrong. Beautiful work and thank you for the peek into your creative process.

Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful! Lower density mdf is no good for crisp lines, so you were partly right to avoid it. The higher density stuff is good for carving.

Amazing

Thank you very much! One of the things that drew me to the process originally was that if something went wrong it was all on me, no program crashing or computer glitch, just simple tools and the oldest form of image reproduction.

Hey Jon, Plumsink here. WOW you look young in this video LOL! Very inspiring words at the end, you have to be willing to fail and to struggle and keep on anyway. Basically I think all successful artists have to have a fixed idea in their brains that they are artists and this is what they do and they are going to keep on doing it regardless of external circumstance. Because otherwise there are too many things that will tend to incline you to stop.

what kind of wood you using here?

@LeiStudios

I'm using MDF. If you're interested in making a woodcut be sure not to get low density MDF! Birch plywood and linoleum are also good for carving.

Mokuhankan in Japan are the supreme at this

@@LeiStudios your work is very impressive.. I see the dedication required which seems to evade most modern people..... I have recommended your work with David bull for review.. your work Interests me In an art psychology aspect of your work... believe it or not your work is highly reminiscent of some English murderers I have analysed... please don't mean I'm implying anything... it has nothing to do with evil etc... especially your composition which seems to be an ordered chaos on the page... there is a book called tortures and torments of the Christian martyrs with a section at the back of artworks supplied by murderers and violent criminals and the similarities are remarkable

Not at all! I made a huge woodcut with a Dremel in 2006, it was fun but I prefer hand tools.

I prefer linoleum over wood block relief and reduction cutting. But I like the wood cutting sound. My impressions are limited based upon the editions.

Hi witch kind of wood use

@LeiStudios

Hi, I use MDF (higher density is better), but birch or Baltic birch plywood are also good, and if you're new to the process linoleum is excellent.
