we use MDF board, it is soft and buttery to carve,

This is Dimitri Lihachov and the making of his print Island dancers

Thanks for that! I thought it looked like MDF - I only ever use it as a base for my collagraphs. Until now anyway !! I have tried cutting it before, but it just seemed to go "wooly". Maybe if I tried cutting round the shape with a sharp knife that would help?

I like these a lot ! Can I ask what kind of board you use? It looks very thin - is it easy to carve?

Very proud that you are doing so well Dima, my old friend!
