Great product

I've been block carving since 6th grade but only recently have I wanted to get back into letterbox die carving. I ordered this product so I can cut my own personalized stamps.

Pros

Best Easy Cut Linoleum Substitute

This is my new favorite linocut material.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Easy Torn

I don't go too deep into speedy carve and can get a lot of fine detail with standard linoleum cutting tools. The thinner Speedy-Carve benefits from clamping when creating larger residual limbs. And if you're unfamiliar with various…

Pros
  • Scraper Pads and Consumables
Cons
  • A few little things
