<h2 class="rsc-centre-text">Woodcutting Guide</h2>

Woodcutting is a skill used to cut logs from trees. These logs can be used in woodcutting and firemaking.

To chop down a tree, just left click on a tree to select chop. If you have an axe in your inventory and a sufficient woodcutting level you will attempt to chop down the tree.

More powerful axes will increase your chance of cutting down the tree.
