A Large Log is a fallen tree trunk that blocks the way until it is chopped apart. The most famous one closes off the Secret Woods in Cindersap Forest. Breaking a Large Log needs a Steel Axe, which makes the log one of the first real tests of an Axe upgrade. Each log gives a solid pile of Hardwood and a large helping of Foraging experience. Large Logs are gone for good once broken, so every one is a one-time reward. Clearing the Secret Woods log opens a place where Hardwood comes back every day.
Growing
Large Logs lie on the farm, where they block parts of the land. One sits at the north-west edge of Cindersap Forest, in front of the Secret Woods. Another blocks a narrow passage between the Blacksmith and JojaMart in Pelican Town. More appear on floors 41 to 69 of the Mines while the Shrine of Challenge is active.
A Copper Axe is too weak for a Large Log. The Axe has to reach the Steel level first. Clint, the blacksmith, upgrades tools in his shop in Pelican Town.
Stronger Axes break the log faster. A Steel Axe needs nine hits. A Gold Axe needs seven and an Iridium Axe six. A charged swing cuts the count further, down to three hits with a fully powered Iridium Axe.
Products
Breaking a Large Log gives eight Hardwood and a good boost of Foraging experience. That is four times the Hardwood of a Large Stump, but each log only gives it once. The Forester profession raises the Hardwood from each log.
The farm's logs are best broken early. Their Hardwood helps with first projects such as the Construction Bundle, which needs ten pieces. A few logs are enough to finish it.
The Secret Woods log is the most valuable of all. Behind it, six Large Stumps return every morning, each worth two Hardwood. Blue and green Slimes live there too, but they are weak and easy to deal with. In Summer, the Secret Woods is the main wild spot for Fiddlehead Ferns. The pond in the middle is home to the Woodskip.
Hardwood from logs goes into many recipes. A Heavy Tapper needs thirty pieces, and a Worm Bin twenty-five. A Hardwood Fence and a Cask each take one. Building a Stable at Robin's shop also takes a big stack of it.
Notes
Upgrade the Axe to Steel as early as possible. That opens both the farm logs and the Secret Woods.
Break the log in front of the Secret Woods first. The stumps behind it give Hardwood every day from then on.
A Large Log and a Large Stump give the same amount of Foraging experience. The log pays out far more Hardwood for the same experience.
