You can chop a log into Blocks of Wood with an Axe, or saw it into Boards with a Metal Saw or Bone Saw. You need Carpentry to obtain boards.

How to Acquire

Right click on a Tree, select the "Chop" option to chop it down.

Afterwards, a Stump will remain which can be removed by using Adventure > Destroy. A destroyed stump will drop four Blocks of wood.

For more detailed information on per-tree log resources, see the Tables/Trees page

When crafting a log into blocks or boards, make sure the 2x2 area around the log is clear as the created blocks and boards are created on the ground. Being too close to a tree or other immovable structures may leave you with some inaccessible blocks or boards.
When chopping down a tree, the produced tree logs will fall away from the lumberjack.
Animals, such as Boars, Aurochs, and Mouflon, can damage logs that are blocking their path.
Logs from non fully grown trees will give different amount of blocks/boards per log than normal. Usually less, but can be more too. ► Tree#Notes

Tansy Ridge (2024-11-30)◎ >"Logs will now present information about how much has been cut from them when "Inspect":ed. "Inspect" is a bit cancerous in how it presents information RN in that you kind of need to have the log open to see the full info, or else you'll only get the randomly last bit as the immediate sys message. Will hopefully fix that at some point, but wanted to make this change now while I could still remember to make it."
