Wood engraving in progress, 100x65 mm lemonwood block. My first reuse of a block, 6 grades of sandpaper (240 to 1200) giving the polished surface needed for engraving. A slight bevel around the edge which I'll have to deal with. More care needed on the edge of the next block. A few more hours on the sky and it will be ready for proof printing.
Buachaille Etive Mòr, Glen Coe, Scotland (flipped left-right so it comes out right when printed).
