Be careful or you might chop the tree!

Stone Axe

There are two types of axes: one can chop trees down and one cannot. The number of wood obtained is not affected by the type of axe used.

Remember that when your are using the Axe, hitting the tree 3 times will chop the tree and it will become a stump.

The type of wood that comes out is random
