wood block
(redirected from Wood blocks)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
wood block [′wu̇d ¦bläk]
(graphic arts)
A picture, design, or lettering carved on a block of wood with hand tools; the nonprinting areas of the block are carefully carved away, and only the raised areas of the design carry the ink; it differs from a wood engraving because the design is carved along the side of the block parallel with the grain, rather than perpendicular to it; it is therefore characterized by broad areas and strokes running with the grain. Also known as woodcut.
