Measures twice, cuts once, still somehow runs out of wood.
means A person who makes or shapes things out of wood, by trade or by hobby.
from A straightforward compound — 'wood' plus 'worker' — joining Old English wudu (wood) with the agent noun from work, itself from Old English weorc. No hidden story here: it simply names the material and the maker, the way blacksmith or stoneworker do.
