Advanced Lumberjacking: are logs different sizes?

[min_the_fair]

Hi.

Having fallen off the internet for a while, I now find myself in the position of starting a palisade. I have already got as far as realising that it's now possible to make both blocks of wood and boards from a single log, which is really quite nice. And also that there seem to be more blocks of wood and boards than there used to be, to compensate for the increased effort of chopping down a tree. Also nice. BUT. I've seen posts on the forum that imply that logs from different trees turn into different numbers of blocks (and presumably boards?). Is this correct? If so, has anyone started a table of quantities? Do any skills or stats affect the results? I don't have access to metal yet, but I read that a metal axe gets more blocks, does anyone know how many more? What about a metal saw instead of a bone one?

so many questions, even without getting into the hundred and one new types of tree....

(edited for a typo)

If I'm not mistaken, spruce gives you something like 50 blocks or 20 boards per log when using metal tools.

Saw q and carp are relevant but only for boards, I don't have the full list though with quantities per wood type.

Quick test: Spruce log chopped with stone axe yielded 40 blocks, and 50 blocks with metal axe. That's roughly 20% increase. Can't say if it's the same for every tree.
Metal axe also makes chopping trees faster.
Birch seems to give lots of blocks, while mulberry gives a small amount. I haven't been paying attention to this very much, palisade is easy enough to do with whatever trees you have nearby.

Pine is great for building pallisades,3 logs for tree and one log gives a lot

Beech is the best log for blocks imo, you get over 80 blocks per log.

King's Oak has the best ratio. It has 4 logs, and though it doesn't yield as much as others, the fourth log is definately worth it.

But what of different grow times on the different trees added in as a factor? Then which tree is the most efficient?

That's a good question. Do trees grow in different timings? Because if they do, might as well time them.

Beech and ash are best building wood as far as I can tell

but they seem rarer than,lets say,pine
