Stripped Spruce Log
Stripped Spruce Log is the bark-free decorative variant of spruce log, produced by right-clicking a spruce log with any axe for clean modern builds.
Description
Stripped Spruce Log is the go-to column material for modern and Nordic builds, where the clean untextured surface reads as polished timber rather than rough bark. Three Stripped Spruce Logs stacked in a crafting column yield three Stripped Spruce Wood blocks for smooth pillars without grain ends, and the log also smelts into charcoal or burns as fuel for 15 seconds per item. Pair Stripped Spruce Log with Spruce Planks for a two-tone wall, or mix with Stone Bricks for a lodge aesthetic that reads clearly from a distance.

Java Edition Guide
How to get and use Stripped Spruce Log in Minecraft
-
1
Find a spruce tree
Spruce logs generate in taiga, snowy taiga, and old growth pine taiga biomes — harvest one with any axe.
-
2
Strip the log with an axe
Right-click (Java Edition) or interact (Bedrock Edition) on a placed spruce log while holding any axe to remove the bark instantly.
-
3
Collect the stripped log
Mine the now bark-free block to add Stripped Spruce Log to your inventory; the axe loses one durability point per strip.
-
4
Build smooth columns
Place Stripped Spruce Log vertically for pale, seamless pillars that read as polished timber in modern and Nordic builds.
In Java Edition the stripped log keeps the original axis orientation of the log; the same rule applies in Bedrock Edition.
