First woodblock print. As the bumpersticker says, "Oh, no! Not another 'learning experience'."

Among the lessons learned: keep bandaids within easy reach on lower slope of block carving learning curve, thin drawer-bottom type plywood is easy to handle and also easy to chip, decent wet mounting is difficult when exterior temps are below freezing because everything dries too fast.

Hardest part at this stage: getting ink onto block properly and consistently.
