Oak plank

An Oak plank is used in the Construction skill, mainly for the second grade of furniture.

Construction
Oak logs can be taken to the Sawmill operator to be changed into oak planks for 250 coins each, which can then used in the Construction skill to make furniture. When first released, players would buy Oak planks for 2,000 gp each.

An easy way to get free planks is to buy oak logs, make them into oak planks and sell 62 to get a refund. This works because the cost of buying the logs and making them into planks (about 50 per log + 250 for sawmill fee) is less than the price of oak planks.

Another good way to save money, although much slower, is to cut twice the logs, turn them all into planks and sell half of them. With this method, a stack of 500 planks would only cost about 25,000 gp.

Tip
If players have access to the Balloon transport system they may use it to make Planks quickly. Start at Castle Wars, using the Bank chest, and use the balloon to travel between there and the Varrock Sawmill. Due to weight restrictions, players may only carry about 18 logs to be made into planks at a time (as well as the money to make the planks and the Willow logs for the transport and a Ring of duelling to return to Castle Wars. Players can take the maximum 26 logs per trip by using Weight-reducing equipment.

Note: Familiars cannot be used on the balloon transport system.
