Woodcut Carving Techniques 03: Circles

How I carve circles for woodcut prints, quickly and easily.
Materials used:
Small and large u gouges
woodblock (I use MDF, but also like birch and Baltic birch plywood or linoleum)
I drew my circles with a plastic circle guide using a Uni-Pin Fine Line

I have found the small ones difficult, thanks for this video :-)

I'm glad it was helpful, thanks!

Nice video, thanks. I wonder if there are tiny spoon gouges out there? A rang of those would speed up the process for a design that contained multiple circles of different diameters.

Interesting, I've never tried one of those before. Please let me know if you give it a shot!
