Jan I am excited for you. It is indeed grand to have good supplies. I have fallen in love with myrtle wood. It is harder than basswood, but still carves with ease and the lines are much better. I also liked Black walnut. The cherry I got was from South America and way too hard. I was told it is not the same as the cherry from the states. I think it is wise to branch out and try new woods, that way you find the one that you like the best for the way you carve, each of us are individuals.

Hard wood like maple allows for very thin lines and a great amount of
detail. Another advantage with maple is that it does not chip or splinter like
some soft woods.

Linda,
I think it was Richard, though it may have been Graham, who had me put
the kento along the long side of the block even though my image was
vertical. I seem to vaguely remember something about putting it along
the longest side because it narrowed the chances for error. At any
rate, you can put it wherever it works for you - upside down,
backwards, it makes no difference, as long as they are alike and in the
same place for each color -

Keep on printin',
Sharri

I got curious and did a web search on Tengu. Here is an interesting site that describes them.

Tom, this is the funniest ! I was reading your email about Tengu when all
of the sudden on the tv pops a commercial for KFC with a rock/punk band
playing a concert and all the band members have a bird head on.....they
look like chicken's I guess....but right away I thought of modern day
Tengu !!!!

Dear Linda,

It is easier to handle the paper, especially if the design is long
horizontally or vertically (doesn't matter) if you cut the kentos on
the longer side and the corner one doesn't matter what side it is to
the right or left hand edge.......... please yourself.

Many printers have a one corner preference right or left, but I always
edge mine where I have the paper size ege/border fixed to the top of my
design so that I can extend the paper size further if I wish either
after proofing or at a later date.

Your choice.

Jan
