@kubotaman87 Its when you carve a picture into a piece of wood (or something) and then add ink to that and stamp it on a paper. Thats a super basic explination...

You have some good tips, but why are you using gouges? Japanese woodblock print tools are easier on the hands.  McClains printmaking supplies sells great stuff.

Go to the "Instructables" site and type in "Linoleum Block" in the search field. I created a top to bottom guide to creating your own linoleum block prints.
