Boardwalk Rides part 11

Over the weekend I fixed a few things at home, mostly just going over lines I already had.  I don't think there is anything left to draw, so I begin the cutting stage.

As always, the first step is to cut out all the borders around the image, and for these boardwalk prints, that means the diptych panels.  Tried doing this with a big chisel, but I found things more efficient to just use my curved gouges for this.  Either way, I was finished with that.  The disc I started was still playing, so I moved on to the image area of the print, doing the standing woman by the fishing game.  Logic said that I should start with things in front of other things, and she qualified.  About the time I finished her, the disc finally ran out, so I decided to call it a day.  Results of today's cutting can be seen below:

That big pile of wood shavings on the table represents most of what I cut today.  (some ended up on the floor, but I will wait and sweep that when the whole thing is finished)  It's a good start.  Next will be the boy she's holding up, and then the outside of the fishing game.  After that, I'm not sure.  Could be the rest of the fishing game, or maybe start down by the airplanes, or even start on the outside of the carousel.  I'll figure it out when the time comes.

For music today I brought from my rock/pop book a disc I burned of favorites from Morphine, all the first album and most of the last posthumous album, with the whole story blogged about back in December of 2019.  Not particularly boardwalk music, but good to listen to while working.
