In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, sawn logs are a valuable building material used to craft various items, including houses, fences, and other structures. To obtain sawn logs, players must first find a sawmill, which can be located in several major cities and towns across Skyrim.
Once at a sawmill, players can purchase sawn logs from the owner or use their own logs to cut into planks. To cut logs into planks, players must interact with the sawmill and select the ‘Cut Logs’ option. Each log will yield a certain number of planks, depending on the size of the log.
