woodcutter
Timber harvester occupation
A woodcutter is a person who cuts down trees or chops wood, typically for fuel or timber.
The term evokes a traditional occupation from folklore and fairy tales—the woodcutter who finds Hansel and Gretel, or who rescues Little Red Riding Hood.
In modern use, it may describe anyone who cuts firewood: He spent the morning working as a woodcutter for the family cabin.
