Tree trunks are necissary for most crafting and building materials. They can even be used instead of a table in the final step of tanning. They are obtained by felling fully-grown trees, and each tree gives one tree trunk (unless a companion exploit is used). In order to fell a tree, an axe must be used, with a woodsman's axe being the best at this. A tree trunk may also be found lying on the ground. To use a tree trunk for constructions, it must first be converted into logs with the timbercraft skill. The timbercraft skill can also be used to turn tree trunks into boards or blocks of wood.
A tree trunk is too heavy (500 lbs) to be picked up and must therefore be moved or pushed. If possible, it is recommended to first convert it into its lighter log counterpart (400 lbs) before hauling to help delay fatigue. The best method of transporting either tree trunks or logs long distances is by water. Simply move a tree trunk or log onto the same tile as a waterside raft or punt, cease hauling and shove off. However, there is a limit to how much a watercraft can carry.
