You may have a look at the Wood Industry.
Reasons you need wood
- To build beds
- Without beds your dwarves will get unhappy thoughts from sleeping on the ground
- To build axles
- Without axles your ability to transfer power is severely limited.
- To build water wheels and windmills
- These are the only generators of power. Without them, you'll be forced to do everything manually.
Reasons you want wood
- It is simpler to make items from wood.
- Wood can be burnt to produce ash and charcoal, which are important ingredients in other tasks such as glass making.
- All power generators are built with wood. If you are planning on having any sort of automated assembly, or just don't want to have to do everything by hand, then you're going to need wood.
Reasons you don't need much wood
- Everything other than beds, axles, windmills, and water wheels can be made from other materials.
- If you have magma or a coal seam then you don't need to burn wood for charcoal.
- You can supplement your wood supply via trading.
- If you're lucky enough to play in an area with an underground pool or underground river then you can grow your own wood supply underground.
