Noa Noa: Offerings of Gratitude (Maruru)
https://botfrens.com/collections/44/contents/874432
In August 1893, Gauguin returned to France from his first trip to Tahiti. To explain his art to a public that would find its Polynesian flora and fauna perplexing, he published an account of his voyage, a project for which he made ten woodcuts. Gauguin chose endgrain boxwood for a matrix, usually used only for wood engravings. While in some areas he inventively scratched into the surface of the blocks with needle and sandpaper—methods borrowed from lithography—he boldly cut and chiseled other areas in broad, decorative planes, undoubtedly influenced by the uninflected flat passages in Félix Vallotton's woodcuts. He enhanced the directness and vigor of his carving by reworking blocks and varying the ink, paper, colors, and mode of printing for each impression. Gauguin often created a blurred effect, bathing the image in the mysterious, suggestive atmosphere of night. The <em>Noa Noa </em>suite describes the cycle of life. It begins with images of the gods, of woman, and of religion (Maruru); contains scenes of daily life; and ends with evocations of love-making, terror, and death and rebirth. The set is also a metaphor for the evolution of human self-awareness; Gauguin wrestled with the dichotomy between guilt-ridden European ideas and the fantastical, unspoiled world of Polynesia.

I've long resisted diving down the rabbit hole of endgrain cutting boards. But it's wedding gift time, so I'm about to start cutting into this chonky fella.

Stay tuned.

AANNDD 1 box is ruined.

Also, the epoxy seeped through the endgrain and spread. There's ugly epoxy splotches everywhere. I re-sanded everything so, hopefully, that will be enough, though I won't know until I put the final finish on.

"Bowls" for go stones. Iroko with liquid wax finish. Mostly sapwood, some heartwood and endgrain accents. Cut and laminated from some offcuts we had. Gorgeous wood, works really easily apart from grain interlocks, and it's a bit hard on edges.
Octagonal wooden boxes for go stones, open, with removable lids with dark accents in the centre. Lids propped up on the side.

Well, the obvious fix for difgicult casting on (or off) is to make significantly too much, then cut back. Which makes for need for good hemming stitch for your endgrain but maintains an even selvedge due to fabric discard. But it is bloody sodding heartbreaking making said discards...

Yeah, a second coat, focusing on areas with endgrain, fixes the weird white pores.

I carried the reeding down the curve after smoothing them out and I’m glad I did!

Saturday findings
- basswood endgrain does work for stamping batik wax
- carving with a dremel is fun but scary
- I'm going to try some manual carving knives too, I think for some areas it will even be faster
- I have a long way to go before I have a consistent stamping technique

quartersawn sycamore "flecking" is so sexy. snakeskin if it was (an abundant, domestic) wood.

the (antique, discontinued) Stanley no. 100 "squirrel tail" plane is a versatile workhorse. <$50 on that auction site atm (usually pushing $100 last few years).
left hand with thumb up gripping a 6/4" thick piece of sycamore, which has been handplaned to reveal the quartersawn "flecking" that looks like snakeskin. photo taken outside over asphalt and near grass detail of endgrain and rift grain on sycamore slab. stanley 100 "squirreltail" handplane in the back. you want one if u do hand woodwork, just saying.

Well, it’s still cloudy, so I finished the end grain chopping board I’ve been working on. Made from olive ash. Finished with food safe oil. I’ll put another coat on then wax with beeswax #woodworking #endgrain.

Reminds me a bit of the concept of wood engraving (relief printing method) because it can do extremely fine detail. Although it's usually done using hand tools into a piece of endgrain wood, far less likely to obliterate detail with a hair fine graver than a laser.

#screenshotsaturday of my re-done textures and a peek at some Phil tutorial dialogue.

An empty room with uneven wood flooring and brick walls. Vines hang from the ceiling. There is a door on each of the left and right walls. A room in a castle with endgrain flooring and two large blue geometric art pieces that appear similar in nature. A living wall sconce that somewhat resembles a sickly alien with eight eyes. A dialogue box is in front. Phil: Tell us, how can we help you? PC prompts: Who am I? Where am I? Who are you? What are you?

I want one! Seriously- I need a planer & a table saw. I could do it! I've made several endgrain pieces in the past, but in miniature. I love this pattern. 👀

I don’t know what to do with these two little offcuts of beech endgrain but they’re too fun to toss. Maybe I’ll smooth them out and put some linseed oil on them.
Two offcuts from trimming the ends of a plane blank with a hand mitre saw. They are about four inches long and just under two wide, and show the right quartersawn grain of the beech in the maybe 1/10 of an inch slices of endgrain
