It is a distinct advantage to know the name & maker of the paper you like!

Are you still selling materials? I get these from Noboru Sawai and he is away for until next week. As I mentioned I am just the 'go between' and do not mark up the prices. However Noboru has indicated he will supply. If you would like is fax or phone number let me know. About LA!!! I am not sure just now.... have to let you know after Xmas.

I went out and bought some wood and some sharpening stones (the little cute ones, for so much money) and am going to the studio with determination. all will work out, I am sure.

It wouldn't do for my bigger prints where I like to get the big chisels an a mallet and routter to them, but for the smaller ones it looks good. It seems from the photo on your site, The which shows Brad Pitt demonstrating the thing, that it would also have the advantage of the wood shavings falling in one place, Instead of ending up all over the studio, down the back of my shirt, floating in the beer, stuck to the cat's fur, in the Zip Drive etc......
