Note: The name “Holz” is the German word for “Wood.”

Well, sorry in advance for me being a smartass, but since German is a more “complicated” language than english, I feel the compulsion to give some private tutoring. 😉

I’d say finding the right German word for wood depends on how you use the word “wood”. If it is in sense of “small forest” wood would mean “Wald” in German and in sense of firewood or timber “Holz” is the right term. But when used as part of the profession Woodsman it’d be either “Waldarbeiter” (lumberjack) or “Förster” (forester). And as chance would have it “Förster” is a pretty common last name in Germany. 😀

Hope I could help… ^^
