A dwarf cannot have both the Mining and Wood Cutting labors enabled, as doing so would require them to dual-wield an axe and a pick. Setting dwarves which must work outside to Wood Cutting can be a good idea, as it means they will carry axes with them at all times-though this also means that they will usually interrupt anything they're doing to go chop trees.

A wood cutter cuts down trees to create logs.

To employ a wood cutter, give him the wood cutting labor, and designate some trees for logging. An axe is needed to perform this job.

This skill increases rapidly. With an ample supply of trees, a dedicated wood cutter who does not do his own wood hauling can reach legendary status in well under a year, and can singlehandedly meet the lumber needs of most types of fortresses. A single dwarf can also function well as a dedicated wood cutter and plant gatherer, provided that this dwarf is not your sole food provider. It may be worthwhile to give him some points in axedwarf, making him a decent soldier if necessary.

A dwarf cannot have both the Mining and Wood Cutting labors enabled, as doing so would require them to dual-wield an axe and a pick. Setting dwarves which must work outside to Wood Cutting can be a good idea, as it means they will carry axes with them at all times-though this also means that they will usually interrupt anything they're doing to go chop trees.
