Went to see The Banshees of Inisherin yesterday. Excellent film. But a word kept cropping up and I really don't understand...

Lettering: I know that my Redeemer liveth. One version carved probably in 1795, installed in Southwark Cathedral in London. The other carved in 2004. Job 19:25.

I'm allergic to poetry usually, but one or two things sneak through, mainly Dylan Thomas and the lyrics of Joni Mitchell.
Here's Thomas. Hand carved lettering on Nabresina limestone. NFS:

A little piece for a friend a few years ago - and coincidentally one of my mum's favourite sayings :) Something to do with raising 6 disreputable kids I think :/

Sometimes a few pieces in stock come together to make poetry. OK, not poetry as we know it, but sweary poetry nonetheless.

At my last contract company we did a fundraiser thing. I carved 26 letters and an &, all auctioned. Hand carved letters on 10cm squares of Nabresina limestone. I didn't have my big saw then so cutting out and squaring the pieces took nearly as long as cutting the letters :/

An old fashioned word, but it does look good in Roman lettering with that long Q.

Lettering: I mainly carve V cut lettering, so called because a cross section through each stroke of the letter is a V of about 90 degrees. But there are other styles.
Letters are sometimes highlighted in colour or filled with a range of materials. A few years ago I wrote a short blog post covering a few of the variations you might see:
