You need a open storage to store wood. It can be directly connected to the woodcutting post or not.

Wood is an open-hull type of good, so get open hull trucks/wagons to move it.

Produced at the timberman. Or lumberjack. I just forgot the right term.
This forrest building.
You can have machinery in there to get the wood ready for transport.

Any any open hull truck can take the lumber elsewhere.
Can be stored in any open storage.

The normal material depots ( you can connect that with a factory connection to the woodcutter building ) and open hull trucks. At some point you even get open hull trucks just for logs, but any open hull truck will do.

I always have a depot between the woodcutter and the sawmill because some industries require logs.

Same here. More or less.
The storage with the bricks and logs are connected to the carpenter shed mod.
This way I have enough boards for construction and I still can pick up lumber if I need it elsewhere.

BTW, does wood cutting post require workers? Or it is sufficient to assign machinery, like for quarry?

The woodcutting post has 2 processes built in:
1) The building identifies the trees around. It needs a very few amount of workers to cut the trees down. Them it will show in the UI ~"cutted trees in the forest".
2) The next step is to bring the logs in the ground to the building. This is done by the trucks, and the speed they load the trees is the speedlevel of the truck (not 100% verified).
To make the most wood you need the best speedlevel trucks possible, as they are the bottleneck. You can assign only one 7-seat small van to cut the trees, maybe less (as long as there are logs for the trucks to pick up). Usually the workers are much faster than the trucks.

You need both workers and trucks for it to work, but you can get away with just 3 workers. Bigger trucks help, but aren't worth it, and won't be until they fix the bug where they only haul in half loads.
