St Leonard of Vandoeuvre part 3

Back to the Studio today to continue work on the new Leonard block. The idea is to show everybody at the OCAG a block in progress, and continue the process, showing how to use a variety of tools. This piece of wood is cutting easy- I got half the block cut in about 2 hours. I could have polished off the whole thing in the afternoon, but I wanted to leave some for tomorrow night's presentation. A quick rubbing showed that the tricky area where the Uncle Sam poster, protest sign, and saint name all overlap turned out fine, though the color will help clarify things in the final print.
