EC Lyons Square Graver Wood Block Lithography traditionally used stoneEC Lyons makes high quality tools for wood engraving. These tools are made from high carbon tool steel. The square face produces a V shaped groove. The depth of the cut is similar to its width. Particularly useful for cutting thin lines which swell dramatically, because the width of the line is dependent on the pressure used. It is possible to create a flowing line which widens and contracts, or to make short stabs which widen from a sharp point.
