There were plenty of sources for wood. They may have gotten cedar and cypress from nearby Lebanon.
1 Kings 5:6 Now therefore command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me. And my servants will join your servants, and I will pay you for your servants such wages as you set, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians." 7 As soon as Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, "Blessed be the LORD this day, who has given to David a wise son to be over this great people." 8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message that you have sent to me. I am ready to do all you desire in the matter of cedar and cypress timber.
Here's a link to a great map that shows how close Lebanon was to Galilee http://www.bible-history.com/geography/ancient-israel/israel-first-century.html

Well you have to bear in mind what was considered 'expert' in that day may not be the same as what you re thinking.
The ark was made of gopher wood. Fiberglass was invented until the 1930's & stained glass the 1600's.

Wood, concrete, sand, mortar, etc., if they were carpenters would they not have access to these materials? Where do we get them nowadays? Overseas, locally, nationally, internationally, palm trees?
Why is this small detail of such concern to you when it's a no-brainer, but esp. when you should be paying attention to the prophecies in the Bible that are coming true right before our eyes today; even those prophecies that outline in detail, blasphemers and liars, those only wanting to stir up contention amongst the masses because they themselves lack accurate knowledge and choose to stay blinded?
It is true that Satan does blind the minds of the ignorant and non-believers, but much of the time these ones love to be blinded because of their bad heart condition meaning, they don't want to give up their immoral lifestyle so they find every excuse in the book to hate Jehovah God, his Son, Jesus, and anyone who loves them.
If Jehovah God made you, and ALL of creation could there be no materials for Joseph and Jesus to build with?
Lastly, you mention the ark; Joseph nor Jesus built the ark. Noah did, remember? From the old testiment. Jesus and Joseph are from the new testiment. Furthermore, can you imagine the feat that Noah suffered with all (wait, you're here on this pewny forum making fun of Jehovah God and his Son, and those that love him) the immediate and constant ridicule that he and his family suffered throughout the years that it took him to build the ark? I'm sure liars and troublemakers would steal equipment, materials, but mostly they would laugh and poke fun of Noah and his family for following Jehovah God's instruction to build the ark. They were smart and did finish the ark. They boarded it along with two of every animal in the earth; this too was Jehovah God's instructions. No one else in the world at the time survived the flood except Noah and his family, so we are all decendants of Noah and his family, where we originally came from Adam and Eve who obviously came before Noah and his family. They, Adam and Eve lost perfection of the human body while inheriting death for all of mankind. After Armageddon there will be no more pain and suffering and the last thing that will be removed from mankind is "death".
Do you know who actually closed the ark door? I'm gonna let you figure that one out. There is a hint below and when you click on that hint, put in the search box: "Noah's Ark".
There are no lies from those that love Jehovah God, son...the only lies and blasphemy, the ridicule comes from those who hate him.

I am sure you "wood" like to know. Get real on the fiberglass and stained glass. As a matter of fact, you need to get real period.
Jesus is God - and God can do anything so you figure it out from there.

israel isn't a total desert... noah wasn't in israel and at that period the earth was a tropical green house. that's why people lived so long and the earth could support large animal/reptiles like dinos...

The area was not desert at the time of Christ. Worlds and localities do actually change.
