Were there any OT prophecies that Jesus should be a wood-working carpenter I like the stone mason theory because that would make Jesus and St. Joseph (the patron of manly men) really tough.  

But, is there any significance to the traditional conception of Jesus following St. Joseph as a table and chairs sort of carpenter as opposed to a millstone and monuments sort of carpenter borne of the Old Testament prophets? 

Are there any allusions to carpentry in the Old Testament?
No. I researched exactly this when working on this answer. This is not mentioned in the Old Testament.
