Comment: My first exchange in a while and I was glad to get my feet re-wet! The small size block wasn't a problem to carve but I didn't think the printing aspect through enough and wound up having to build a jig/chase to be able to print it (I got a 12x12 piece of 9-ply and cut a 2 x 2 3/4 hole in the middle so I could lay the paper pretty flat on the larger surface and printed it with a baren in two passes).
