The works are spectacular. Sound track is great. Would also like to hear the process sometime.

Shina from Japan or baltic birch from any big home improvement box store are very commonly used

So cool, thanks for sharing. Can the artist comment on the type of wood they used to carve?

[@BIGINK]

You are welcome! All the artists featured in this video used MDF, Cherry Plywood, or Shina Plywood, as outlined in our online Master Class. MDF can be purchased locally, Cherry on HomeDepot.com, and Shina at McClain's Printmaking. Thanks for commenting.

An old printer here: the paper isn’t dampened and as a photographer, I would have just made a Kodalith positive, transferred it to a screen, but that’s not “art” is it . . . just saying. 😑😘

The music is a dreadful distraction. Would be much better with some narration and commentary explaining the process, instead it seems self indulgent boring footage of woodcut prints.
