Oak

Realistic woodcut of a piece of oak, incorporating the board’s existing knot.

Oak

I picked up a piece of wood to use for a wood cut, but it had a knot. Rather than cut the board down to eliminate the knot, it seemed reasonable to just incorporate the knot into the print. The oak which inspired this wood block print grows along a dirt road near us.
