New Villager Profession - Lumber Jack/Woodcutter

In the spirit of promoting the Green Initiative, why ravage a forest  for wood and have waist? Create a villager that can use a workstation like the stonecutter that saves on the amount of wood needed for slabs and stairs, and other wood crafted blocks.

    You could buy wood from him! Maybe he could go around planting trees too?

    Perhaps the workstation would be called the woodcutter or something. Perhaps its crafting recipe would be like a stonecutter, except that the stone is replaced with wood, and the iron ingot replaced with copper or flint.

    Here are some ideas for them

    They would wear a red plaid shirt and carry an axe all the time while they are working

    They could cut down the trees around themselves

    They would not attack, as they are scardey-cats, just like everyone else

    They would trade loads of wood related items, like the local biomes logs, planks, doors, etc...

    A sawmill block can be his workstation block
    We can also cut planks into slabs,stairs,etc like the stonecutter and they trade only the wood in the specific biome they live at. And lumber jacks dosent exist at desert villages unless devs add a new tree type in desert like the joshua tree

    With the addition of Shelves in Minecraft and it needing stripped logs for their construction, now more than ever, a "sawmill" block similar to the stone cutter block is actually needed. Creating stripped logs requires hitting with axe while the log is still in the world and can only be done one at a time. Having the sawmill/lumberjack would allow for this be created in batches quickly. It should include the ability to turn not just logs into stripped versions, but the "wood" block to be turned into stripped logs as well. The lumberjack profession would be rather simple to create and would likely be a clone of the stone cutter profession but just wood centric. 
    Please make this an update in the near future it is now an essential item for players and not just a "would be nice" item.
