| Giraffe #2 - Final stages of carved block with tools and removed materials visible. |
As you can see, I did make the decision to remove the excess block material and plan to repurpose this piece.

| Giraffe #2 - Block ready to pull print #1, with tools and removed material. |
Notice in the image above, the variations in the width and length of the removed pieces. The differences in width are the result of using different carving blades. The narrow, shredded-cheese-appearing pieces have been removed using "V" blade #1. The larger, square-shaped strips, have been removed with the ""U" shaped #6 blade. If you are using these higher number blades, note the subtle differences between blade # 4 and blade #6. The impact on the printed image can be profoundly different, depending on which of these choices you make.
