The Woodsman's Friend

The Woodsman's Friend is a unique iron battleaxe found in Falkreath Hold. It does slightly more damage than a normal iron battleaxe, but takes longer to swing. Because of this, it actually loses damage points overall. It also has a lower base value than the latter.
==Location==
The axe is located just southwest of the Conjurer's Altar and north of Pinewatch, near the body of a dead woodcutter. There are two sets of felled trees, it is located near the set of trees closest to Lake Ilinalta (on the southeastern side of the lake).
#Locate Pinewatch (Falkreath Hold)
#Follow the path north, through the pass and towards the lake
#Locate the first set of felled trees (just to the right of the trail)
##Optional* Go to the Conjurer's Altar to locate the second set of felled trees (closer to the shore)
#Walk along the felled trees
#Go to the alive tree on the left (closest to the rocks)
#The axe is in the grass (slightly hidden) at the base of the tree
==Smithing==
