1) Using chisels, carve a block of smooth soft wood with an image.
2) Bear in mind: everything you carve away will be white.
3) Bear in mind: everything left uncarved will be black.
4) Bear in mind: it all prints backwards.
5) Ink the woodcut with block printing ink, using a brayer.
6) Press a piece of paper upside-down onto the inked woodcut.
7) Press evenly, remove evenly. Allow to dry.
