Direct Answer
The verified beta options are to collect ready firewood from a wood shed or firewood building and, in one hands-on build, use an axe to break an abandoned cart into kindling and lumber.

Answer Details
No checked source demonstrates chopping trees; do not turn cart dismantling into a tree-cutting tutorial or invent a key and yield. 1 2
Two Supported Ways to Get Burnable Wood
One beta route collects already prepared firewood from a wood shed or dedicated firewood building. A separate hands-on build shows an axe being used to break an abandoned cart into kindling and lumber. These are the supported actions. None of the checked sources demonstrates felling a standing tree, so there is no verified tree-chopping key, tool requirement beyond the shown cart interaction, yield table, or regrowth rule to publish. 3 4
