Indeed there's a lot of stuff missing from the suggestion, but I don't want the main point to get lost amongst stuff that Jagex can easily decide upon.

However some skills are left the way they are simply because it is for nestalgia and the fact that there are other areas and new content they are focusing on at the moment. However, they may rework the look or feel of a skill. I understand that nostalgia plays a big part in why we keep playing RS. I was very nervous when the Mining and Smithing rework was first talked about, and that nervousness remained until the very day of release. However, after seeing the results of those changes, and how successful Archaeology was, I feel Jagex are now perfectly capable of updating historic content for the better.

Those are some great considerations. Thanks for your input!
As a further thought regarding tools, how would people feel about hatchets going blunt and requiring work at a whetstone to sharpen the blade? Kind of like how degradable armours work I suppose. Perhaps there could be an Invention based inventory item along the lines of an auto-whetstone which will keep your blade sharp.
I understand this may be far too annoying for most players however. Maybe there could be a high tier of hatchet that works in this way, that is more powerful than equivalent hatchets, but requires more upkeep. We have it for armours and weapons, why not tools too?

Personally...I've been itching for a WC update for ages.
I've almost hit 93 and it's an extreme CHORE...even with all readily available boots.
Currently, the best logs to whack down are Oak, Willow and Elder in terms of profit, seeing as how our kingdoms supply maples for fletching (invention needs) as well as teak and mahogany for construction.
A lot of us have 99 in all relevant skills and have put WC on the back burner because of how slow and tedious the skill is to level anymore. Even overgrown idols are slow and painful...and that says a lot. Bamboo isn't any better either
We do need more of the basic metal hatchets, whereas Bane and Elder Rune should outshine the crystal hatchet, but the imcando also should ride along with being superior. Elder Rune being readily available with maybe a +3 to strength, and Bane only having +1 over the crystal hatchet, giving its usefulness because of augmentations. Imcando should have a +3 strength over Crystal, so that it matches Elder. Not everyone has elected to do all their quests or bothered to level certain skills to be able to unlock further content.
The t90 hatchet should have a +9 strength over Crystal and obviously have a passive to generate more damage done based off our current agility/strength level(s).
In terms of what kind of rework should be looked at, I love your idea! However, that sounds like much more work than required to make the skill feasible across the board for everyone. Keeping something similar to what we have with the M&S rework would actually be a better approach. Reasoning behind that is simple...less coding, less time to rework the process, and gives us what we want in terms of a rework.
We've all suggested various things in the past about how to make woodcutting an enjoyable skill, and nothing has been done except the addition of the lumberyard's workshop as it were...but at launch day...dead content due to the xp ratio regardless of level. Good for newbies, bad for veterans.
