Info
Wood engravers use Round Scorpers to create incisions on the surface of woodblocks. As woodblocks are inked with a roller, these incisions do not receive ink, and therefore show up white in the final print.
This is a fine Round Scorper (#51), used to draw thick, bold lines. Above a certain point, Round Scorpers have strait sides, which means that they will cut a line of a constant width if fully engaged in the wood. However, because the tip of the tool is shaped like a capital U, lines cut with it will have rounded ends. Scorpers are also useful when lightening areas of a print by stippling: repeatedly pecking at the woodblock with the tip of the tool, so that the surface bears a carpet of tiny incisions. Because of the U-shaped tip of this tool, it is perfect for creating small, round dots.
This tool is made from high carbon tool steel in the United States by E.C. Lyons. It is supplied factory-sharp, but it has not been honed to a fine edge. Please note, engraving tools are known by different names in the UK and the United States. Round Scorpers are known as 'Round Gravers' in the USA.
