The correct answer is intarsia.
It refers to the process where different types and colors of wood are inlaid on top of each other in order to create images and patterns similar to those of mosaics. Embroidery, weaving, and typography have to do with either cloth or paper, and repousse with metal, so only intarsia has to do with wood.
