Overview
Timber is a basic material widely used in processing and crafting. Its strength and texture vary depending on the type of wood and the timing of the cut, and it can serve many purposes in the hands of an artisan. Timber is obtained by felling trees with a logging axe and is one of the most accessible gathering resources in the game.

How to Obtain
Timber comes from felling trees using a logging axe. The process involves four steps:
Equip a logging axe: Open the quick menu (hold left D-Pad on controller, or T on PC) and select the axe under the Armed Combat tab.
Horizontal swing: Aim at a tree until the blue ring appears on its surface, then use your weak attack to chop. Step back as the tree falls.
Vertical trunk chop: Once the tree is down, use your heavy attack on the trunk to reduce it to a log.
Final chop: Strike the log one more time to break it into gatherable Timber and Fine Timber.
Each felled tree yields both Timber and Fine Timber.
Where to Find Trees
East of Hernand: A stand of trees on the island between the rivers, which will be marked on your map after discovery.
Trees can be found throughout forests and wooded areas across Pywel.
Obtaining a Logging Axe
Purchase a logging axe from Alden's Provisioner's Shop in Hernand for 29 copper coins. You can also receive a free logging axe from the Hernand blacksmith, or loot one from enemies during combat.
Uses
Timber is the primary material used for refinement of wooden equipment at the smithy:
Wooden Shields (shield upgrades requiring wood)
Fine Timber, obtained from the same trees, is used for higher-tier wooden equipment upgrades.
Tips
Use Force Palm or Force Current to instantly destroy trees. This is significantly faster than using a logging axe, though it consumes stamina and spirit.
Timber has a low sell price (4 copper coins), so it is better used for crafting than selling.
The quest Turnali's Request requires you to deliver Fine Timber, which comes from the same trees as regular Timber.
