"First word is a woodcut", "First word is woodcut", "First word is printed from a woodcut block"?

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Georgia"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">In an effort to drop obscure vocabulary in catalog records, I'm casting about for another way to word a note on the fact that a word or block of
text is printed from a wood block instead of metal type. The ESTC uses it extensively: e.g.,
