How To Make Carved Log Imprint Art With Tree Ring Texture - DIY Printmaking Tutorial

Updated: Feb 2, 2022



Get ready for a creative DIY woodcarving project! I'm going to show you how to do tree ring printmaking art using carved log wood.


You will learn through a free, in-depth video tutorial how to carve a log into a custom design and transfer the wood's amazing natural tree ring character onto paper. The resulting artwork is wildly unique, personalized to your own style, and adds a touch of nature connection to your home decor.



This project combines the very old art form of wood block printmaking technique and modern power carving tools in a highly original blend of creative expression.



Working with rustic log wood adds a wild element of the knots, cracks, and wood grain that is full of character and SO interesting to look at. The perfect home decor art piece to display, or create it as a gift for someone special!


Watch the video below to learn how to create this project and bring nature connection into your home through wildly unique wall art.
