Hewn Log

A log hewn and shaped to be a building material. Hewing logs at a workbench will grant no experience.

Notes

Hewn Log is a tier-2 solid wall block shaped from logs at a workbench, used in a wide range of construction and furniture recipes from anvils to capitol buildings. It provides higher room value and housing bonuses than lower-tier materials, making it a key early upgrade for improving residents' skill-point gain. It can also be burned as fuel (4000), though hewing logs grants no experience, so it is typically produced by a specialist with Carpentry or placed in a store for easy town access.
