So you have a design (print) you like and you want someone to carve a woodblock after it? If it's monochrome then yes it would be a single block but if it's a colorful print can go up to twenty blocks. Carving blocks is a tedious and hard task and would require time, big money and skill. And then another money on the printing process itself. David Bull indeed is a very good suggestion, I'm not sure if he takes orders like that but nonetheless worth asking. If it's a simple design one can learn to carve himself, it's very relaxing and rewarding
