The August 1st deadline approachs swiftly. For those of you in exchange #53 it is time to kick it in gear. If you are on the wait list I'm hoping you are still willing to play! This is when things get exciting people!

About stropping.

On the advice of the folks at McClains, I have been stropping all
during the carving process when I work and have had to actually
sharpen my woodcut tools ... never. And I've had these tools since the
Richard Steiner workshop in Portland in, what, 2007 or 8? I do have
one of those wonderful electric sharpeners that McClains sells and
have the leather stropping disk on it and use that as well before
starting a project each day. I then have a hand one near me as I
carve. Have never put one of the many sharpening disks on the Shop
Sharp (I think that's what it's called.)

Have now started to use the same process on my wood engraving tools
though they do need a bit of Arkansas stone on occasion. But hey, I'm
new to wood engraving and mainly (except for one workshop with Toru
Sugita) winging it.

Anyway ... Good stuff, leather and the green 'rouge' that one puts on
it.

Best,
Carole

Subject: [Baren 45722] Letting paper dry ...
Send Message: To this poster

In reading your letter, I'm wondering if by letting the paper dry, you
would have trouble with registration on multicolor prints as the paper
would shrink and then expand again when wet? What about the water
based ink, wouldn't drying and rewetting affect it as well?

Best,
