Woodcut—occasionally known as xylography—is a relief printing artistic technique in printmaking in which an image is carved into the surface of a block of wood,
with the printing parts remaining level with the surface while the
non-printing parts are removed, typically with gouges. The areas to show
'white' are cut away with a knife or chisel, leaving the characters or
image to show in 'black' at the original surface level. The block is cut
along the grain of the wood (unlike wood engraving
where the block is cut in the end-grain). The surface is covered with
ink by rolling over the surface with an ink-covered roller (brayer), leaving ink upon the flat surface but not in the non-printing areas.
