Best Answer

Since ancient Egypt suffered from an acute shortage of trees producing wood suitable for building or construction, there were no woodcutters. Trees and timber were instead imported to Egypt from Lebanon, Syria and from Nubia and Kush to the south of Egypt - cedar of Lebanon is even mentioned in The Bible as a quality building wood.

Egyptian palms and other types of tree produced very low-grade timber that might be used in peasant houses, but it was easily felled by the peasants themselves, not needing professional woodcutters.
