Carpentry
Using a saw, one log can be converted into three wooden planks, which are important in carpentry. Logs can also be used to create log walls, which are slightly stronger than the variety crafted using planks, with the added benefit of requiring neither nails nor a saw to craft.

Fuel
Logs are a valuable fuel source for campfires and antique stoves, as they last six (6) hours and are sustainable.
Cooking
A log has a secondary purpose of crushing watermelons, though it is not as effective as slicing it with a saw.
