Part of the progression inRunescape: Dragonwildsis discovering new materials and making new crafting stations. You’ll start with stone tools but will work up to bronze and even iron ones that can harvest faster and more efficiently. Not only that, but some materials are locked behind different crafting stations.
One of those materials is the Ash Plank, which is used for multiple recipes in the game, from crafting new stations to building up your base. The game doesn’t tell you how to craft them initially; you’ll need to discover them by activating a specific crafting station.

How To Unlock The Sawmill
To get Ash Planks, you’ll need to unlock and build a Sawmill. To unlock the Sawmill recipe, you’ll need tocraft or pick up Bronze Bars. Picking them up will automatically unlock the crafting recipe for the Sawmill as well as more crafting stations.
Unlike some crafting stations, the Sawmill doesn’t need to be inside a building for it to work. It also doesn’t use any fuel, unlike furnaces or campfires.

The Sawmill needs the following materials to be built:
