Western Woodblock Printing

                                          My original photography

                                                   Edited in Photoshop

                                                     Transferred to a woodblock and carved by hand

                                           Printed images I.

                                          Printed Images II

                                                    Printed Images III

                                           Printed images IV

                                          A day's worth of work.

First etching

                                          My first attempt at copper etching - harder than it looks, I discovered.....

A shade of time. Images taken over a span of eight hours, and shadows recorded.

The Next Step - A study in scale.

                                                    Clamping the project

                                                    Close-up of scale change from 2x4 to 3/4x1

                                                    Cut to scale and ladder rungs

                                                    Locked down for rung measurement

                                                    Rung holes completed

                                                    Glued and clamped, feet drilled

                                                    Stained and painted, complete work.

                                                     Interesting perspective from the top.

                                                     The next step..... ????
