I purchased a block of Resingrave from McClains to give engraving a try. Resingrave was invented as a replacement for end grain wood blocks. It is very different from the Shina wood I use for Moku Hanga printing. Much harder (requires engraving tools) which allows for much finer detail.
It has a white surface which I coated with black ink. I then drew the subject with a white pencil. The drawing is carved out and the block is then printed with a relief technique. I found this first attempt a little frustrating and I've not pulled a print from the block yet. We will see!
