Linocut is done on lino (which is ground up cork, mixed with linseed oil then adhered to a hessian backing)
Woodcut uses wood instead
Both lino and woodcut are relief printing where you use tools to carve out lines/sections, you then apply ink thinly using a brayer, and the paper is placed onto the inked surface to print the image
I recommend the links as they explain the entire process (better than me on Saturday morning without having had any coffee) plus all the tools/materials etc
Thank you for the links, appreciate them. Just about to grab my first cup too so sympathize!
No worries, Jacksons blog is great for information on lots of different art mediums/techniques etc, if you're interested specifically in printmaking check out Handprinted, and my personal fave the curious printmaker...you would not believe the things this woman can get a print from, well worth a gander for some experimental and 'I did not know this' printmaking
