Jesus was never a carpenter. The confusion stems from an early misinterpretation in translating the scriptures. Jesus was a stone cutter, or mason.
(The word in question was "tekton" which could mean a builder of houses, or a person skilled in working with stone or wood. Only once was Jesus ever refered to as a "Carpenter" in the NT).

Palestine, then and now, has very few trees.
