A lot of people in RuneScape think "woodcutting? BORING!", but this is not the case. It is a very useful skill, as some Scapers have found out. I for one have made over 4 million on it. To cut a tree, all you need is an Axe (a hatchet) (Bronze, Mithril, Rune, etc.) and then click on a tree that is labeled "Tree", not Oak or Yew etc. Also, Woodcutting is available on the free servers, but they can only cut Regular Trees, Oak Trees, Willow Trees, and Yew Trees.

The following table shows what level attack you need to wield the hatchets, and what level woodcutting you need to use each hatchet. If you cannot wield the hatchet, you can still use it at any attack level, but you must have it in your inventory instead of actually wielding it. WARNING woodcutting has random events also, such as a Tree Ent which can break your hatchet if you do not stop chopping right away. If this happens take the damaged hatchet to Lumbridge and talk to Bob, who will gladly repair it for a few coins. Or you may be attacked by a lovely Tree Spirit (level varies depending upon your level; see Random Events Special Report.)

Types of Trees

* Denotes Members Only Tree

Tree	Picture	Required Level	Recommended Level	Experience
Regular		1	1 To 20	25
Charcoal Tree		1	1 To 20	25
Light Jungle		10	10 or above	32
Oak		15	20 To 40	37.5
Medium Jungle		20	25 or above	55
Willow		30	40 To 60 (99 for EXP)	67.5
Teak		35	35 or above	85
Dense Jungle		35	35 or above	80
Maple	Note: this tree is only found in members areas, but can be traded, burned etc in non members areas.	45	45 To 65 (For cash)	100
Hollow		45	45 and above	82.5
Mahogany		50	50 and above	125
Arctic pine		54	-	40 Additional note: This tree can only be chopped once you start The Fremennik Isles quest and reach Neitiznot.
Eucalyptus		58	-	165
Yew		60	65 To 75 (For cash)	175
Magic		75	Beyond 75 (For cash)	250

You get Magic logs at such a low rate that the change in rate between level 75 and 99 is hard to really notice. At level 95 woodcutting and it takes me around 20 minutes to get a full load of Magic logs.

Canoes

It is possible to use woodcutting to make canoes for travel along the river Lum, which runs from Lumbridge up to level 35 wilderness.

Note that canoes are for members only, and can only be made on a member's server. First of all, you'll need a woodcutting axe with the proper level to use it.

Canoe stations

There are 5 stations where you can travel to. From South to North (you can travel both ways), they are:

• Lumbridge, at the east side of the river, just south of the House with the Goblins in it.
• Champions Guild, at the east side of the river, just west of the wheat field.
• Barbarian Village, at the east side of the river, south of the bridge to the village.
• Edgeville, at the east side of the river, south of the bridge.
• Level 35 Wilderness, the little lake south of where the Moss Giants are, between Red Dragon Isle and the Lava Maze. Only Waka canoes can come here. WARNING: You cannot go back from this station!

Types of canoes

How to make a canoe

1. Go to one of the stations; you should see an unusal big tree there, cut it down.
   
   
2. Now that it's cut down, you can make a canoe from it. Click on the fallen tree and select the canoe you want to make.
   
   
3. Now push the canoe into the water by clicking on it.
   
   
4. Now you can float on it. Click on the canoe and select where you want to go. Remember, higher level canoes can float further than the others, and give more woodcutting experience, so it's recommended to build the highest canoe you can make.

Suggested Places to Woodcut

• There are lots of regular Trees to be cut outside of Draynor Village, outside of Grand Exchange , west of Varrock, south of that Mansion, north and south of Falador
  
  
• Oak trees can be found in many places, but a good location is just outside the Draynor Village bank, where there are two nearby oak trees.
  
  
• There are 5 Willow trees right outside the Draynor Bank for Free Play, and 9 Willow trees just on the shore line of Rimmington.
  
  
• Teak trees may be found in the more remote areas of the map. Nine can be found in Tai Bwo Wannai Village, but 100 trading sticks are required to enter the grove. There are also three teak trees on Ape Atoll, near the entrance to the large underground tunnel, one tree far southwest of the Castle Wars arena, one tree at the very edge of the map in Uzer (eastern part of the desert), and five teak trees in the Kharazi jungle, near the pool of water and reeds used in the Legend's Quest. Teak trees may also be obtained from workers in the kingdom of Miscellania after completion of the Royal Trouble quest.
  
  
• There are 5 Maples at Seers' Village. Please note that there are currently no Maples in F2P areas. Maple trees can also be found along the path towards Rellekka, north of the Seers' Village, and they can be products of labor by the Kingdom of Miscellania after the quest Throne of Miscellania.
  
  
• Hollow Trees (notable for their Dr. Seuss-like appearance with rings around the trunk) are located exclusively in the swamp area East of Canifis (the Werewolf Village). Note that you will be constantly attacked by the Leeches in this area.
  
  
• Mahogany trees can be found in similar areas to teak trees. There are four mahogany trees in the Tai Bwo Wannai Village grove, which requires 100 trading sticks to enter. Ape Atoll has two isolated trees; one is found near the entrance to the city, and the other is in the southwestern part of the island's jungle. Two mahogany trees may also be found at the southeastern corner of the Kharazi Jungle from the Legend's Quest. Mahogany trees may also be obtained from workers in the kingdom of Miscellania after completion of the Royal Trouble quest.
  
  
• There are 6 Yew Trees South of the Flax Fields for members. Non-members can cut Yews North of Port Sarim, One near Falador's South Gate, One next to Varrock Church, The forest South-East of Draynor Village has four Yew trees. Also behind Varrock Palace are three Yew trees and some next to earth altar).
  
  
• There is 1 Magic Tree near the Gnome Stronghold Agility Center, and some located south west of Lletya (The trees are located close to Eluned, who is An NPC for Roving Elves and Mournings Ends Part 1). There are also magic trees at the Mage Training Arena, near Al-Kharid.

How To Make Money

Cut down a lot of Willow, Maple, or Yew Logs and Sell Them. The prices of these items change from time to time, to see the most up to data prices please check out the Items Database.

It is recommended that you cut down Yews and sell them, they give you a lot of experience and sell for a lot.

Tree Respawn Times

Below you will see a table with the respawn time of every tree in a different amount of populated worlds. As you can see, the respawn times are a lot faster in higher populated worlds, therefore it is recommended you cut trees in those worlds, do keep in mind that those are obviously busier too, however.
