Working carefully and with great precision, the woodcut artist carves a mirror image of a design on wood or other suitable material. The design is then inked and pressed against paper. The technique allows the artist to create an almost unlimited number of impressions of the same work. The precision of the work and the ability of the artist to create multiple impressions allow many fine woodcut artists to create pieces at a reasonable price, which an average collector can afford.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Woodcut Artist's Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e provides the basics of this craft with a detailed analysis of its tools and media.
