Discernment of Distillation Processes.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help explain something to me. For some reason I am having difficulty wrapping my head around the concept of wood distillation.
I have read that if you distill wood you can obtain alcohol, and some people say essential oils and some say its a means of producing methanol. Are there temperature differences or catalysts that separate these various styles of distillation?
thanks
