Wood Engravings

Many of my wood engravings are very small and oddly shaped! Boxwood which grows very slowly and not to any great size. The circular slices are trimmed to leave regular oblongs which are then skillfully dovetailed together to make the size required by the individual engraver. The pieces which are left behind are the unusual shapes I like to use. Very often I am excited when I see an image which I know would make use of one these. I have many in my collection just waiting for the right subject!
