Chop Wood is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This is a radiant quest in which the Dragonborn can earn 
for selling firewood. A woodcutter's axe must be in the inventory in order to cut wood at a chopping block.
Objectives[]
- Find a woodcutter's axe
- Chop wood at a block
- Sell the wood to a buyer
Walkthrough[]
Each chop produces two firewood at no true cost to the Dragonborn, other than the need to have a woodcutter's axe in their inventory. Each wood chop produces two pieces of firewood, worth 5 , and weighs 5 
each. Each woodcutting session yields six pieces of firewood.
Employers[]
The following people will purchase any firewood in the Dragonborn's inventory at once for the base asking price.
Assistance[]
Followers can use the woodchopping block to help gather wood, for seamless chopping. Nearby followers can also hold chopped wood, lessening the chances of becoming over-encumbered.
Trivia[]
- This quest counts toward the favors for citizens required to become Thane in Holds.
- General good merchants purchase firewood for less
than millers, but the Speech skill increases if this method is selected. - Swinging at the chopping block with the woodcutter's axe equipped will not produce firewood; you must activate the animation sequence.
- This quest has no quest stages or objectives.
