The KJV only mentions cutting down with an axe. No chisels, no shaping. Where do you get these words?

From the article....did you read it?

The passage is talking about Idols not Christmas trees.

Jeremiah 10: 8-10

8 They are all senseless and foolish;
they are taught by worthless wooden idols.
9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish
and gold from Uphaz.
What the craftsman and goldsmith have made
is then dressed in blue and purple—
all made by skilled workers.
10 But the Lord is the true God;
he is the living God, the eternal King.
When he is angry, the earth trembles;
the nations cannot endure his wrath.
