I love woodblock prints. A good friend of ours Jan Marsh (Canadian) did Japanese style woodblock printing and I am fortunate to have several of her works. I love your 'snow village.'
I bought this block from Woodlike Matsumara in Japan. They sell Japanese cherry blocks on their website but the shipping is crazy expensive as you can imagine. Normally I buy American Cherry boards and process them down to 3/16" thick boards. I then glue the cherry to 1/2" birch ply. You can use the woodblocks for 1,000's of impressions before they start to show wear. But I use the blocks every time I need to print a new batch of prints after they sell out on my website. Hope this answers your question?

Thanks Pat! Glad you enjoy the print.
One of my favorites that I have made by you! 💙
I just brought your snow bike print out to display on my wood box case from Dave's Mokuhankan shop. 💙
Thanks so much for sharing, I love seeing people display their art!
Ooh very pretty! Also I am curious how did you get this wood block? And how many times do you usually need to use it?
