You need to harvest and transport that wood, so it's not CO2 neutral.
PS: Gas also takes a lot of energy to refine and transport so it's worse than the direct CO2 produced during combustion.

The way we do it is to walk into the forest with the axe or chainsaw (often electric) and cut down a tree. After that we drag it home and chop it up with an axe using muscle power ;)
There are even books[1] about firewood and how to stack it so it's very ingrained in the culture.
But if it's done industrially with machines then you are very correct.

Calculating the full, e.g., carbon cost of a fuel is difficult!
