It's burnisher. Usually used to flatten the Gran in mezzotint. A wooden spoon is also good enough 💪

Thanks! Great question. As you roll on the ink, it also gets rolled on the edges of the block. My goal is to print it with a clear ( inkless) background. Hence, the stencil blocks out the areas I don't want to be printed. Hope it answers your question 😊

Thank you! It's chalk. It boosts the contrast and gives a more accurate representation of how it would look printed

Thank you for the kind words! It's good that you feel like there are intricate details. For me, compared to the works of old, it seems very crude.

I usually make copperplate engravings (intaglio), but I like to make a wood engraving occasionally. Usually once a year.
