I can see deep blue skies
Lord I feel refreshing breezes
Like Your thoughts inside my mind
I like to run through the green grass
Watch the waves crash the shore
Gaze as mountains go higher
When I see all the beauty of Your creation
Lord it makes my spirit free to worship You
When I see all the beauty of Your creation
Lord it drives me to my knees to worship You

Beautiful! Also, this was super helpful to see the process rather just reading a description of the process in an online art appreciation class. Thank you!

Very nice demo.
It's also possible to use leather instead of wood, which allows you to print on curved surfaces.

Thanks so much for the easy to understand explanation. When I look at old illustrations in old books, I would see two artists' names credited: usually the initial artist, and then the woodblock cutter, and I didn't understand how that process worked until now.

Hi Jeff, my name's Estrella Beltrán-Díaz and I was wondering if I could show my art students this video. We are studying Homer and our lesson talking about woodblock printing. You're video is perfect to show elementary age kids how this art form is really done. Could I show this video to my classes??

My teacher showed my class a different video, where this girl did the same thing, but so much more difficult. You simplified things. Thank you!

Nicely done, but it would be nice to see more videos showing what else you have produced, and further instructions. BIG thanks for sharing.

Well-made video. The filming was as captivating as the woodcut and printing process. Kudos!

I came here because I'm doing an essay on Albrecht Durer and he was known for his print making. I decided to come and see how it's done. I appreciate your carving, the music, and how effortless you made it look. thank you and keep carving
