Hi John,

Thanks for that additional info - I'm vaguely aware of the end-grain blocks, although that's a slightly different approach to what I'm currently up to. The end-grain blocks are more suited to the more detailed style of wood engraving as opposed to woodcutting - I'm not at that level just yet - just exploring the more accessible woodcut process - probably a good thing too - the prices of those blocks over on the Lawrence site..!

There's a bit more info on the differences between the two techniques here: http://www.chrisdaunt.com/endgrain-w...raving-blocks/

Some beautiful wood engraving work out there!

Wal.
