Woodcutter, Lumberjack, Woodsman, whatever title you go by, the profession is the same; to cut and chop wood for yourself or sell. You live among the trees and forest critters, learning the best ways to do what you love, chopping down trees. Though some take pleasure in devastating forests and others feel compelled to keep the balance of nature intact, every Woodcutter has a passion for axes and the great outdoors.

You know your way around a good tree, what material it is good for, what it can make, and how sturdy it would be. You know how a tree will fall or if it is old or young. You know what a good quality tree and wood is, and people would be hard-pressed to fool you with rotten material. Because the wooden sense you have guarantees you a good quality batch of lumber, people are willing to pay more for it.
