How do I get wood without trees in Minecraft?

(an image of what you don't want)

The straightforward answer: Yes but unreliably.
If you're just living underground or want to avoid trees, just consider it as a no. You need trees underground to get logs.

If this is a challenge of sorts, then you can buy from wandering traders. They have a chance to sell logs of random types. I must not forget bamboo, your best alternative to wood in the latest versions.

Here's a list of ways to get wood without trees:

• Buy from wandering traders (only when you don't have any other option)
  • The chances for wandering traders to sell logs
• Break/loot structures with wood (what if structures is not an option?)
  Here's a list of structures that contain wood:
  Villages (Abandoned too)
  • Shipwrecks
  • Mineshafts
  • Woodland Mansions
  • Pillager Outposts
  • Witch Huts
  • Trail Ruins
  • Ancient Cities (why are you finding wood here)
  • Ocean Ruins (sometimes)
  • Jungle Temples (There's some)
  • Igloos (with basement, yes there's a log in there)
  • Trial Chambers (yes, theres a small tree in there)
• Use bamboo planks (does not have log for recipies like campfires)
  • Bamboo can be used to create various items, including tools and building materials
• If you only need sticks, you can get those from the following sources:
  • Dead bushes
  • Witches (especially useful for structureless superflat)
  • Bamboo (can be used to make sticks directly instead of bamboo wood)
