The fossil fuels burned during the planting, harvesting and transport of the wood also needs to be taken account.

In that case, unless the entire chain uses renewable energy, it can't be considered carbon neutral.

I wouldn't shift the burden of the entire chain to wood alone. The tools are not wood-exclusive, and should be considered on their own.
