Dialogue

When you speak to him, he admits his lack of skill.

"Wanna know a secret? I'm a terrible woodworker. Can't plane a board to save my life. But you know what they say. Those who can, do; those who can't, sell!"

Despite claiming to know nothing about woodworking, he can also teach you the basics of woodworking:

Can you tell me about woodworking?

"Certainly! Woodworkers shape wood into all manner of useful tools, but bows, staves, and shields are our specialty. This work requires fine lumber and a sturdy work table.
We also seek out style books and rare ingredients for more advanced work."

Can you tell me about the process?

"Sure. While shaping the wood, we can choose a special trait to focus on. It takes research to discover these techniques, but it's well worth the effort. Increasing the weight or tuning the angle can draw out different advantages in the final product."

Is there more to it?

"Well, the piece can be improved even more through the use of resins—special elements that enhance the value and quality of your work. The improvement process is delicate, so be sure you've got enough tempers and a steady hand. Good luck!"
