Were there any OT prophecies that Jesus should be a wood-working carpenter

Accepted answer
Zechariah 1:20
English: And YHVH showed me four carpenters. LXX: καὶ ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος τέσσαρας τέκτονας
The same Greek word, τέκτων, is used in Matt. 13:55 and Mark 6:3.
The Talmud (Sukka 52b) states that the four carpenters are Messiah ben David, Messiah ben Ephraim (i.e., ben Joseph), Malki-Tzedek, and Eliyahu. But, we know that Jesus is both Messiah ben David and ben Ephraim, he is a priest after the manner of Malki-Tezedek, and he is a prophet greater than Moshe.

Carpentry is mentioned in the Old Testament but not as a prophecy about Jesus. Carpenters are mentioned in several of the histories - unsurprisingly usually in the context of building houses and the like - and once or twice in Isaiah (depending which version you use - sometimes it is translated as the more generic "craftsman" instead of "carpenter").

No. I researched exactly this when working on this answer. This is not mentioned in the Old Testament.
