Do I really need wood
Wood is necessary to build beds and axles. Without beds your dwarves will get unhappy thoughts from sleeping on the ground, and without axles you are severely limited in power transferring. Also you need at least one piece of wood to produce charcoal that you need for metal production.
Bins, buckets and barrels can be made from metal, though they are much more easily made from wood. They require three metals of the same type and fuel; wooden barrels, buckets and bins require only one log. Early on, it may also be useful to build a bucket or two from wood, in order to build a well and bring water to an injured dwarf.
It is a common challenge to play on a treeless biome, though most players choose to import wood, and bring some with them in the starting screen.
