Do lumbermills have a purpose?

What's the point of chopping wood at lumbermills?...

You can sell firewood you chopped at a chopping block.

You can use ore you've mined to make ingots.

You can eat food you've cooked.

But as far as I can tell, there is no purpose whatsoever in using a lumbermill to saw logs in half. Other than strutting around town afterwards saying: "Yep, ya see that log there? Sawed it in half myself... It's a gift really, you won't find any logs more Symmetrically sawed than-- oh nevermind they mysteriously sunk into that big pile of sawed logs, never to be seen again... that happens from time to time."

I just don't see any point to it, which wouldn't really bother me normally, I'd just think it's a cool feature they added for roleplaying purposes or something. But every other type of work you can do has a purpose, so is there a point to using lumbermills that I'm not seeing?...

So we've heard but I have not come across anyone that has confirmed it :(
I haven't been Skyrimming in weeks since the bugs aren't fixed yet.

No you can't thats what Todd and co Said, but after a while. you learn to take that with a grain of salt. theres no saboturage, and theres no economy ;p

theres no point to them other than asthetics really, and I don't mind. about time there's something to add to the town ambience, TELL ME honestly that you don't feel just a Tad more drawn in walked down minding your own business and hearing that THUD THUMP THUMP of a fresh piece of wood sawn in twain.

The sawed logs are like minecraft or playing with lego's. Stack them on top of each other, build something, be creative. :)
