For me the NPC needed to start the quest is no where to be found. He may have gotten killed but don't recall if I ever encountered the wood cutter NPC in Skaal. I get the impression he never existed, at least in my game.
It may be possible for some of the Skaal Village NPCs to be killed when cleansing the Wind Stone. I found this in the bugs section of the ElderScrolls wiki: If Fanari Strong-Voice dies or is killed while cleansing the first stone (Wind Stone) with the Skaal villagers, the conversation she later has with Deor that triggers a Misc. objective that leads to the side-quests A New Source of Stalhrim (which allows your character to smith Stalhrim weapons and armor) as well as Lost Legacy, and you will be unable to start or complete these quests.
I am having a problem where Dior and strong voice are standing there, no conversation taking place, you can get dialogue from strong voice and she will tell you to speak with Dior but he just gives the standard npc one liners and offers no dialogue options, so the side quest will not trigger. Hopefully this gets patched soon.
i ddint have this problem, but i couldnt get the smith in raven rock to give me the bonemold armor, recipe quest.
so i went to that cave, found the recipe on his buddy, but alas, does me no good. i think i mught of cut him off, when he was talking about it, before it gave me the quest???

I believe he'll only give you the quest if you're a member of the Thieves Guild. At least he only gave it to my thief character.
