Woodcutting

Woodcutting is a side-job performed in several villages and cities around Skyrim. A Woodcutter's Axe must be in the inventory in order to cut wood at a chopping block.
==Yield==
Each chop produces 2 firewood at no true cost to the Dragonborn, other than the need to have a woodcutter's axe in their inventory. Each chop is estimated to take 10 seconds, and the Dragonborn stops working after 3 chops, estimating 6 chops in a minute, 12 pieces of firewood in that minute, and roughly 720 in an hour. An hour out-of-game is estimated to be 24 hours in-game (2.5 minutes = 1 hour). This means in an hour, the Dragonborn can earn 3,600 at no cost but the time it takes.
General goods merchants purchase firewood for less than millers, but the Speech skill increases if this method is selected.
==Employment==
Employers for woodchoppers purchase all firewood in the Dragonborn's inventory at once for the base asking price. Each wood chop produces 2 pieces of firewood, each piece of firewood is worth 5 each, and also weighs 5 each. Each woodcutting session yields six pieces of firewood.

==Assistance==
Followers can use the Woodchopping Block to help gather wood, for seamless chopping. Nearby followers can also hold chopped wood, lessening the chances of becoming over-encumbered.
==Trivia==
*Swinging at the chopping block with the woodcutter's axe equipped will not produce firewood; you must activate the animation sequence.
