How to get log stakes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Log stakes are one of the most basic crafting items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

One of the first times that a player has to use log stakes in the game is when Tom Nook asks them to craft a bridge to access the rest of the island.

For an item that is so important, log stakes cannot be found naturally on the island; they must be crafted. Luckily for the players, that is not a very challenging process.

This article shows players how to get log stakes to craft items on their Animal Crossing island.
