Always considered a Woodcut as similar to a papercut except it hurts worse
You know, when you make a nice sharp joined egde and feel of the crispness of the edge and it bites you
often followed with a blood stain on your freshly surfaced wood.
Not to be confused with a splinter, which is a Woodstab... where a fellows hands are impelled by revenge seeking Porcupine Pines.
Back in the day when I also taught Printing, We had a few of them around to demonstrate to students, Seem to remember they were Apple wood, any way... The still printed nicely and had more depth to the picture than the Brass or Lead/Anemone Plates.
