Lazer Cut Woodblock Book Announcement

In my recent posts I’ve mentioned the work my shop is doing with Lazer-Cut wood blocks. The process is working beautifully for us. It has reduced our operating costs substantially, and is far more “Earth Friendly” than using PP plates…. especially since we use a lot of recycled wood in our process.

Now we’ve taken the process a step further, and are printing the first ever all Lazer-Cut Woodblock Book! It’s going to be a limited edition (100 books) of N.O.Tillman’s work, “Ragged Angel”….. with ten full page, fine-detail illustrations. It’s going to be bound with exposed hand-stitching in the Japanese style, using silk cords and linen book-cloth. The entire project was designed to show what is possible using lazers, wood, and hand presses.

We’ve already printed the text pages, and are working on the illustrations now. My plan is to release the book on or about June 1 of this year, in time for the London Book Art Faire. If the remaining pages turn out as good as what we’ve done so far, it should “wow” the judges.

As the work progresses, I’ll post pictures of how it’s coming along.
