Wood purchased from a society building will be ready to use, but wood claimed from the wilds must be processed, first CUT ''wood'' with a woodcutter's saw and then CUT ''wood'' with a drawknife. This will turn your stick/limb/etc into LUMBER, which can then be combined with other lumber of the same wood-type.

Shaping is a discipline of the Engineering skill.

The Shaping discipline involves the shaping of non-metal objects into utility forms. A guide to shaping can be found here.

The only available places to purchase tools & materials and to complete work orders currently are the Engineering_Society.

Products

For a detailed list of products and stats, see the Shaping products page.

Shaping can be used to craft: Bows, arrows, Furniture, and Wood Accessories.

Techniques

See Shaping techniques.


Process

See Lumberjacking the Shaping_guide for a walk through of all Shaping processes, specifically:

Tools

See Crafting tools for an in depth discussion of them.
