This mite seem like a silly question but where do I find 4 Wood, Do I need to buy an axe and chop some?

Yes, chop your wood. No need to buy a woodcutter-axe though, you can find them in the world. For example in front of the Frostcliff Tavern.

I went into the guy that sells swords and armour in the ark market square and he had heaps of wood, Thanks anyway

^ this, several vendors around Ark have some wood for sale. no need to go crazy, its just wood, its cheap.
