        V carving refers to using a conical drill bit on a CNC machine, usually in wood, in order to create interesting patterns that can take advantage of depth.

        He is an example of what it can create:

          That’s really gorgeous. I’m curious what it would look like v-carved with a CNC.

          Aww yes ok, that would be great ! Bas-relief style. i’ve always wanted to do something similar but on stone or steel. Something solid and monolithic. but i don’t have the technical skills or the equipment to do it. And considering the size, i haven’t found anyone in france to do it yet. 😢

      Don’t know if you’re aware but we have a printmaking community on Lemmy that where your work would be very welcome!

      yes :) I’ve just joined it. I haven’t published on it yet.

        Excellent! Glad to hear it :)

        Incidentally, do you also find there’s an overlap with printmaking and collage? I’ve noticed a few print makers also tend to do collages (although it could just be just using up prints that maybe didn’t go quite right, instead of having them go into waste bin)…just a musing…

          I don’t know, good question ! personally I made collages before starting to print. my practice of engraving in the creation of design is quite similar to collage. I take symbols from the diagrams which I assemble together to obtain a coherent and balanced whole.
