Printing with wooden blocks

Hand Block Printing with wooden blocks, Box, lime, holly, sycamore, plane, or pear wood are used to make woodblocks for textile printing, with the latter three being the most popular. They come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, but most are between two and three inches thick to avoid warping. Warping can also be avoided by using two or three pieces of cheaper wood, such as deal or pine, to support the chosen wood.
