Day & Night Relief Carving

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This relief carving is built-up of poplar & black walnut, with overlays of a few other woods. 26” x 15” x 1-1/2” thick
It is based on a 1938 woodcut of M. C. Escher, titled “Day & Night.” showing a flock of contrasting geese forming a tessellation in the upper part and morphing into farm fields below. The left half shows a riverside village in daylight. The right half features a mirror image of the village at night.
Later in 1938 Escher did some similar woodcut tessellations called “Sky & Water I & II” Elsewhere in my Projects are relief carving of those designs. This carving was done with hand tools over six months duration. PCA

Taming the shopvac

Quieter shop with some wall insulating foam in a semi-enclosed space. I highly suggest building a space for your shopvac. It's much most tolerable now. I have some egg-crate foam inside and the space is large enough to avoid overheating.
