Carving wood is very similar to carving linoleum for the most part. It's a bit more challenging though due to the wood's hardness and especially its natural grain. The grain will cause the cuts to splinter if you're not careful, but the results can be fantastic if you control your blade. It's difficult to see in my example above, but the wood grain gives the final print an interesting, organic aspect that is not present in a linocut.
I look forward to seeing some of your linocuts.
