Here is some inspiration for those of you doing the map print exchange. I
saw this print last summer at the Renegade Craft fair in Brooklyn.

I've used the wood epoxy to repair a cherry block
where I lost sight of my cutting....I was having a hard time wrapping my mind around what I was doing.
In recutting through the hardened wood epoxy,
I'm watching parts of the epoxy chipping off/out,
and am beginning to think it's life expectancy is not what it's pumped up to be.
(This is that two part stuff that comes in a tube, you slice off what you need.)
SO, although I'm dreading this,
I know I sooner or later would have to learn,
I believe I should begin to look into, and practice making an official wood block repair.
An inlay....of about a 2 inch square space.
Any advice? Instructions I can find? Guidance?
Should I just find a fine woodworking and "hire out"?
I'm so not feeling good about this.
