A saw is a tool used in carpentry.

Usage

Its primary purpose is to convert raw logs into usable planks. The planks will be created in the inventory space in which the "Saw Logs" command is chosen. If there are logs on the ground as well as in the inventory, and sawing the logs in the inventory is chosen, the planks created by the logs on the ground will be placed in the inventory (and vice versa).

Its secondary purpose is to turn regular shotguns into the sawn off shotguns. The saw can also be used to cut watermelons into watermelon slices. Saws are also used in disassembling a lot of furniture, to get more planks and nails as well as leveling the player's carpentry skill. Saws have no durability, so one can be used infinitely.
