I think the plan with the Amazon is to reintroduce forest to the parts of t that have been burned down to make way for cattle ranching. Overall with reforestng the idea is to taake areas that used to have forest and regrow it. Once fully grown though, you are correct, it stops sequestering further carbon though.
Insofar as it rotting after harvest, you can slow that process down considerably by treating the wood with linseed oil. Then build stuff with it. It will though eventually give the carbon back up into the food chain, so the only way to truly sequester permanently is by converting it to a form that other organisms can't eat. Usually that happens by geological process as they get buried under layers of strata. It could however be speeded up by subjecting the wood to heat and pressure. You would of course need to do that using a solar heated device and generate the pressure without usinng a fossil fuel powered device. Not aware of this being done anywhere though.
