- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Wood engravings differ from woodcuts due to how the wood used to produce the printing plate is prepared. With a woodcut, an artisan saws the wood right along the grain so that they can easily carve into its surface with a knife-like tool. For wood engravings, an artisan uses end-grain wood. Because the wood is much harder, it must be worked with a special needle-like tool, allowing an artist to produce an image with a much higher degree of detail.
