woodcutting
Felling trees professionally
Woodcutting is the activity of felling trees or chopping wood, whether for timber, fuel, or land clearing.
The term also refers to the art of carving images into wooden blocks for printing—a technique that produces bold, graphic illustrations.
A woodcut is the block itself or a print made from it: The book featured medieval woodcuts.
