Code:
bj
    var/lumber_use = 300

    Lumber_Axe
        icon = 'obj.dmi'
        icon_state = "Lumber Axe"
        name = "Lumber Axe"

            Get()
                set category = "Utilities"
                set src in oview(0)
                Move(usr)
            Use()
                set category = "Utilities"
                if(usr.woodcutting == 0)
                    usr << "You must lurn Woodcutting to use the Lumber Axe"

Sheesh man, if you want help ask the question in a comprehensible manner.

i.e.: "I am unable to proceed in this loop, [insert comprehensible problem details here]

Ok, after looking through your code, I think I've figured out where you're trying to loop. The problem is, you don't have a loop in that area. What you'll want to do is something like this:

            Use()   // This part goes under obj/Lumber_Axe/verb, of course...
                set category = "Utilities"
                if(usr.woodcutting == 0)
                    usr << "You must lurn Woodcutting to use the Lumber Axe"
                else
                    switch(input("What do you wish to cut?","Woodcutting")in list("Bamboo","Nothing"))
                    if("Bamboo")
                        if(usr.cutbamboo)
                            usr << ""
                            usr << "You stop cutting Bamboo."
                            usr.move = 1
                            usr.icon_state = ""
                            usr.cutbamboo = 0
                        else
                            usr << "You begin cutting Bamboo."
                            usr << ""
                            sleep(20)
                            usr.icon_state = ""
                            usr.move = 0
                            usr.cutbamboo = 1
                            spawn() //I usually prefer to use a spawn when calling another proc
                                usr.bamboocut()



mob
    proc
        bamboocut()
            while(src.lumber_use > 1 && usr.cutbamboo == 1) // Check cutbamboo, so if it's 0, the loop stops.
                src.random = rand(1,23)
                if(src.random <= 2) // I'm not sure what you had the extra check in here for...
                    src.lumber_use -= 1
                    src << "You Ruined this peace of Bamboo"
                if(src.random > 2)
                    src << "You have cut a nice peace of Bamboo"
                    src.contents += new /obj/Rattan
                sleep(40)
            src.move = 1
            src.icon_state = ""
            src.cutbamboo = 0
            src << "You stopped Woodcutting beaceuse your Lumber Axe has worn out."
            return


Hopefully this helps!

Also, I know english isn't your primary language, so you may also consider asking someone to spell/grammar check your game after you have completed it.
