Craftsmen Who Process Wood..., from Wilhelm Klump. [https://archive.org/details/diealtenglische00klumgoog Die Altenglishen Handwerken Sachlich und Sprachlich Erläutert].

* '''tréowwyrhta''' -- masc. "tree-wright; a carpenter, joiner"
* tréowwyrhta -- masc. "tree-wright; a carpenter, joiner"

* croc(c)wyrhta -- masc. "crock-wright; a potter"
* lámwyrhta -- masc. "clay-wright; a potter"
* lámwyrhta -- masc. "clay-wright; a potter"
For bracketing examples, we need '<material> + -wright'.  We have that from Bosworth-Toller for Old English:
* ísen-wyrhta - 'iron worker'
* stán-wyrhta- 'stone worker, mason'
* tréowwyrhta -- masc. "tree-wright; a carpenter, joiner" (also above) - found as treów-wyrht in B-T.
* lámwyrhta -- masc. "clay-wright; a potter" (ditto)
In Middle English, we also have the few noted (e.g., Glaswhryghte, Lim).  Thuresson also has one more: le Bordewright (1327, 'board/table/shield maker'), in various spellings.  A concern is that we don't have similar examples using specific defined types of wood, stone, etc.  Metals, yes, though.
