    		Other terms for the occupation include woodcutter (UK), and the colloquial term woodhick (Pennsylvania, US).

    		A sawyer is not the same as a lumberjack. A lumberjack cuts down trees, while the sawyer cuts them up unto planks or beams. Current UK term for lumberjack could well be forestry worker. Woodcutter is confined to fairy tale situations, but tree feller could be applicable. (Two men go on spec to the Irish manager of an estate and ask, "Have you any work for tree fellers?" The manager says, "And where's the other one of yez?" The men are puzzled. The manager says, "Yez said tree fellers. I can only see two of yez.") (Don't give up the day job, Baloo.....)
