wood cutter

Logs timber professionally

A wood cutter is a person who cuts down trees or chops wood, typically for fuel, lumber, or clearing land.

The term evokes traditional manual labor with axes and saws rather than modern logging operations: The old wood cutter lived alone in a cabin at the forest's edge.

Also spelled as one word: woodcutter.
