Wood Cutting is a Skill.
Higher levels increases chop damage done against susceptible entities (trees, logs, stumps). Stamina cost to swing an axe is not reduced by the Wood Cutting skill, only the axe skill.
Hitting trees with an axe gives woodcutting experience (not axe xp). This can only occur once per swing regardless of the number of trees hit. If a tree and a non-tree is hit in the same swing with an axe, the player will gain xp for both woodcutting and axe skills. If at least one of those was an enemy or player, the player will gain 1.5x for both.

- You gain Wood Cutting experience from hitting trees even when the tree is "too hard".
