Carpentry

Rarer wood makes a better bow, and each tier asks more Carpentry before you may work it at all.

The same curve Blacksmithing's metals ride — a Board and an Ingot of the same tier buy a weapon exactly the same bonuses. Every bow, staff and crook is two-handed and so takes the crit column; the Club is the one one-handed thing this bench makes.

Boxes for a house. Build one, carry it home, drop it on the floorplan and lock it down, then double-click it to open — it takes anything a bag takes, as many stacks as you like, and a stack itself is any size. They differ only in looks and in what they cost to build.

Twenty-nine pieces to furnish a house with, every one of them buildable in all ten woods — a Valiwood chair is not a better chair than a Wood one, it is a purple chair. Build one, carry it home, drop it on the floorplan and lock it down. Each costs the house 25 stones of storage rather than the 500 every other fixture pays, so a room can actually be furnished. Right-click a placed piece to turn it round.

Five yard pieces found only by working this skill. Any work at the skill can turn one up — every swing or craft, success or failure, and the hours you put in while logged out as well. Each stands in your yard or your house, carries its own story on its tooltip, and trades like any other item.

Piece	Its story
The Master's Rocking Chair	Joined without a single nail by a Yew master who swore she would retire the day it was finished, and then took eleven years over the arms. It rocks without a creak and fits whoever sits in it. Sit down for a moment — everyone does, and nobody gets up as soon as they meant to.
The Standing Harp	A floor harp of Veriwood with forty strings and a heron carved for its pillar, made for a wedding in Nujel'm and never collected — the couple eloped by boat the night before. On still evenings it plays a few notes by itself. They are always the opening bars of the wedding march, and they always stop halfway.
Dovecote on a Pole	A dozen arched doorways under a shingled roof, on a turned oak pole, built for a Vesper merchant who sent all his letters by pigeon. The merchant is long gone, and so are his pigeons. Every spring a new pair moves in anyway, and not one of them has ever paid rent.
Carved Bear	Hewn from a single log of Copperwood with an axe, an adze and nothing else, by a carver who had seen exactly one bear, briefly, while running away from it. It resembles no bear that has ever lived. Every child who sees it knows at once exactly what it is.
Puppet Theatre	A painted booth, a velvet curtain and a company of two — a knight and a dragon, both on strings. The travelling show that toured it from Britain to Buccaneer's Den had exactly one story, and the knight lost it every night. It sold out in every town. People came to shout at the dragon.
