Taking a Break

Leland is the main character in one of my stories but so far I've only doodled some reaaally quick sketches of him. I have a clear image of him in my head, so I finally decided to actually draw him last night. It's not a completely satisfying picture but at least it's something.

I'm having a bit of trouble with his profession, because I can't find the proper word in the English language for what he does. In Finnish the word would be "kirvesmies" but the only translation I can find is carpenter, which is more like a "puuseppä" in Finnish. It's not possible that there's only one word for this profession!
It's not really that big of a deal but personally the image I get from the word "carpenter" just doesn't suit him. Now "kirvesmies" (literal translation: an axe man) is a completely different thing...
