RE: Art & Woodworking: How I relief carved Space Whales. Complete process with pictures.
Awesome carving. I love space whales. It reminds me of the japanese wood block carvings used to make prints. They traditionally use cherry wood because it is fine grained and easy to carve so you can carve very fine details. Plus it ages to a gorgeous color so no need for stain.
I've been looking at woodblock carvings as well. Kind of want to try to make a print myself one day. If you're interested in japanese woodblock carvings you might want to watch this guy. He carves his prints live on air:
I have seen his videos, great stuff, a real craftsman.
