Although most of my engravings have been done in boxwood, this one was engraved in rock maple, on a block given to me by the late New Hampshire wood engraver Herbert Waters. It is a study of some of the intricate interwoven knotwork and religious symbolism found in the Irish manuscript of the Bible, known as the Book of Kells. There are fish, lions, serpents, an eagle, the tree of life, and other unexplained Celtic design elements. The Book of Kells dates to about 800 A.D. At 5.5" x 7.25" this is one of my largest engravings.
