Dave, as I'm looking at those photos, especially the one we are speaking
of here, I'm kind of confused.  It looks like you are using the flat
edge on the waste side of the line and it's CAUSING squeezing and
damage.  Didn't you just say the flat edge prevents that?  Am I looking
at that photo wrong?

3 profiles was the  one I told Mike I liked so much also.
Enjoyed viewing all the prints in #6 Exchange.
Less lurking and more working would help me to make a larger edition and be 
part of an exchange.

What you are seeing in that photo is the _bevel_ side of the knife on
the waste side; the same side of the knife is clearly shown in the
immediately preceding photo.

(the fourth and fifth photos on the page at:

Gayle, maybe the photos on the page at:
http://woodblock.com/encyclopedia/entries/015_02/015_02_frame.html

... will show the idea more clearly.

hi everyone
   the issue of american art review with arthur wesley dow in it is dec 1999  
 there are some very nice prints pictured in the article
   i went to ruths opening today  and her work is wonderful       very linear 
with beautiful colors   i loved it     but i must admit i didnt look as much 
as id have liked to   once i sat down with ruth bea and maria   we started 
talking "shop"   or maybe i should say "baren"      they helped me identify 
the whetstones that i have and we just had a great time gabbing   
   after i left the show   i went over to the 3rd street promenade in santa 
monica  to a wonderful bookstore that specializes in art and archetecture 
books   and i found a book on printmaking with a bunch of prints  from 
bareners in it    i think it was last year that someone from lark books 
wanted some prints to put in their book     well let me tell you the book is 
very nice    sarah ,sylvia, april ,maria, and andrea all have prints in this 
book   congrats ladies    
   also i just got my newest mc clains catalog  and it also is full of prints 
from bareners   what a great group    dan said    "who knows   maybe well all 
be famous someday for this"          frankly it wouldnt surprise me   :-)
proud to be in such great company
