Woodcut Progress for Steamroller Event: Pt. 2 - 5 hrs later.

Here's what I started with before I carved anything.
I began by tackling the hydro pole in the center of the block. It's an easy shape and I can get used to the wood and how it feels. The wood is soft and my tools are working great.


I cleaned out the areas of the center as far as I am willing to go for now.  
I decided to move onto the right hand side next. First beginning with the housing outlines.



Carefully adding in the details. I often do all the upstrokes and cross strokes at the same time as I have to turn the board to accommodate the tool/my hand.
I worked on the lawn,
and the roadside grasses.
This is where I was after two days of work.
