 So, I had woodcutters, and they cut a lot of wood. Then they all died. Their axes were dropped with the rest of their clothes (decay death \o/).

I've now moved my axes to a weapons stockpiled, not forbidden, and set dwarves to woodcutting only - but they won't pick up the bloody axes. This is irritating as I'm playing an overworld fortress, made of - yup - wood. And I've run out of lumber. Help?

Are your new woodcutters assigned to a militia sqad? There's a bug where militia dwarves won't mine, cut wood, or hunt. So you need to remove them from any squad (even if it's inactive).

If it's not that, can't think what else to check.

This is probably a silly question, but do your woodcutters have functioning hands?

As fucking if. Problem solved. FML.
