The elves in dwarf fortress do that. However, the elves can harvest their wooden objects without killing the tree. It is a pretty good system except they tend to get very judgmental about dwarves cutting down trees. I do hope Gavin Munro can sell his wares and prosper without reaching elven style haughtiness.

Coppice doesn't kill the trees.

They start with a small to medium size tree that has been cut to (roughly) ground level and train the sprouts that come up off of it.
