wood-engraving

Also known as: wood-engraving; wood engraving
Scope note: This term is a variety of relief printmaking using a wooden block, into which lines have been cut using a burin or other fine-pointed tool. The distinction between wood-engraving and woodcut is between hard end-grain wood (usually boxwood) cut across the grain with engraving tools (wood-engraving), and soft-grain wood cut along the grain with a knife and gouge (woodcut). With Japanese prints, the term 'woodblock' is traditionally used in preference to ''woodcut'. The type of wood used for woodcut/woodblock is always a soft wood: in Japan it is usually cherry, in the West pear, lime wood or similar.
