Hi.

Not absolutely sure (you're question is not so clear), but...

Code:
cp /etc/fstab wood/saw

(assuming there's not a directory called "saw" in directory "wood")

Then, as I said:

Code:
cp /etc/fstab wood/saw

What's wrong here is that you didn't say where the "wood" directory is, so I assumed it's in your current directory.
