The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew words as “wrought”

What it means

something cut, i.e. dressed stone

from H1491 (גָּזָה);

How the KJV renders it

hewed, hewn stone, wrought

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

wrought
also renders maʻăseh (H4639), mishbᵉtsâh (H4865)
hewed
also renders machtsêb (H4274)
