How Many Blocks In A Log?

[OblongNoodle]

Title says it all. I just need to know how many blocks of wood in a log. I have an enormous Palisade to build and need to know exactly what I need so I can get it all done in one day. If someone happens to know boards in a log that would be useful information as well. Wiki is out of date.

That would depend on your tree types. AFAIK beech is the most blocks. Ive heard kings oak has more,but i have yet to confirm this for myself.

depends on wood type. 50 blocks/fully grown spruce log with metal axe.

With a metal axe or saw, beech gives 30 planks or 64 blocks. Pine trees give less, but 3 logs per tree.

I'm working on a list that describes what the tree gives and how many boards / blocks using stone / bone / metal tools. I should have put it in the coming days.
For now I can say that beech tree seems most effective (82 blocks using a metal axe and 33 boards using a metal saw at 2 logs). Like the king's oak (50 blocks and 20 boards with metal tools, 4 logs) but is quite rare and long growing. The least profitable seems to Appletree (25 blocks and 10 boards, metal tools, 1 log).

EDIT, @DOWN:
Strange. I just checked and received 4 boards of cherrywood (metal saw). Are you sure you got 8?

[Kelody]

I made a few cherry boards, was getting around 8 boards per log, 1 log per tree.

I'm pretty sure that a metal axe doesn't add more to the amount you get from a tree? It only makes chopping it faster...right?

king's oak grows just as fast as any other trees.

it's strange that you guys are getting such different results for beech. can you post tool qualities to compare?

edit: preliminary tests with different (crappy hermit) qualities don't seem to give any different results. are you guys sure the trees were fully grown (not stunted) and the logs at 0%?

just tried it again, it does.

50 spruce blocks with metal axe, 40 with stone axe.

Yes, metal tools provide more blocks / boards. At that moment I noticed the making blocks using a metal axe, we get 1/5 more blocks than a stone axe. While metal saw gives 1/3 + 1 more boards than bone axe. I have not tested b12. I used logs cut by me in the woods, 0% used. 10 ql tools, but ill try later at higher qualities.

Well, I do not do the planting of trees, our farmer noticed.
