5.6. Get Pattern of Annual Rings
Apply very weak dissolved tusche very thinly onto the surface of the print plate, although it depends on sorts of the wood.
I have tried to burn and brush the surface of the plywood board for getting the pattern of the annual rings. Carbon is made by burning wood and the ink reacted on this carbon too much and concealed the image after all.
However, the pattern of the annual rings in the first few editions was printed very beautiful, so I am trying to find other way for getting the pattern without burning the plywood board.
