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

Wood materials of low quality and decent enough price can be conveniently obtained from an engineering society shop, or materials of a wider variety and higher quality can be obtained through the laborious process of [[lumberjacking]].

*A wood's workability affects how much additional skill is necessary to craft items from it.

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/SCRAPE ''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.

* ''A bulbous knot will make continued shaping difficult unless rubbed out with a rasp.'': hold a rasp and {{com|rub}} ''<object>'' {{tt|with rasp}}.
* ''The bow now must be pushed with clamps or a vice to hold it in place.'': {{com|push}} ''<object>'' {{tt|with clamp}}/{{tt|vise}}.
* ''Some wood stain should be applied to the wood to finish it.'': {{com|apply}} stain to ''<object>''.

Finally, attach your bow string using {{com|assemble}} ''<item>'' {{tt|with string}}.

The log is ready to be carved with a drawknife to scrape off the bark '''to/and''' smooth its surface. Sawing it further wouldn't be productive.

> tap my limb

You tap a bamboo limb that you are holding.

> push my limb with my pack

That does not look like something that can be deeded.

> cut limb with saw

You begin sawing the ends of the limb, removing the jagged edges from where it was chopped down.

Roundtime: 9 sec.

R> tap my limb

You tap a partially-cut bamboo limb inside your zaulguum-skin backpack.

I can cut up a limb while it is in my backpack. --[[User:MCBRIDEJ|MCBRIDEJ]] ([[User talk:MCBRIDEJ|talk]]) 21:52, 14 May 2015 (CDT)
