the printing block so that it does not move around as you are carving. Many
woodblock carvers use a bench hook to hold the wood or linoleum panel in place
while they are working. You can easily construct your own bench hook with as
few as three pieces of wood. One piece is attached to the bottom of a
baseplate, which secures the bench hook from slipping on the wood surface.
Another piece of wood is attached to the top of the baseplate. As you are
cutting the printing block, pushing away from
you, this piece holds the block in place.

If
you are securing your block with your spare hand, keep it behind the sharp edge
of the cutting tool. If you are carving with a large gouge or chisel, a good
practice is to keep both hands on the tool – one hand to push and the other
hand to guide the blade. When working with a Japanese carving knife some carvers
with use their secondary hand to guide the blade or steady the hand that they
use to hold the knife.

bleed. This refers to your body or the body of someone, who may be observing

blade skips off of the wood.

sharp tool is a safe tool. Only use knives, gouges and chisels that are razor
sharp. It is a good practice to sharpen a tool before you use it. As it dulls
from work, continue to sharpen it during the day. Sharp carving tools will cut wood or linoleum
with little effort. On the other hand, dull tools require more force in cutting
and can more easily slip away from the block.
