The 'woodcraft' skill allows you to manufacture basic items from solid
pieces of gathered wood. You can make shields, wooden bowls for brewing,
wooden bead jewelry and simple weapons such as blowguns, clubs and
quarterstaffs. Generally, only whole pieces of wood can be used - bundles
of branches are better suited for making batches of arrows or wickercraft.

There are many species of wood, with a variety of traits. Different types of
wood are better suited for certain projects. Sometimes pieces of rotten
or worm-eaten wood can be used, but many of them are simply too damaged to
be made into a functional item.

You will attempt to finish the item until you run out of movement, choose
to stop or are otherwise interrupted.  Unfinished wooden items can be
finished at a future time using the 'woodcraft finish' command. You can
fashion objects for other players by adding their name after the name of
the item you wish to craft. Likewise, you can also designate the level
at which you wish to craft an item, as long as it does not exceed your
own total levels.

Woodcrafted items serve a variety of purposes, ranging from melee weapons
to potent shields. Woodcrafted items almost always benefit from being
rune carved, and many can be upgraded with forged components.

You can use the 'woodcraft check' command on a piece of wood to check
what kinds of items it can be crafted into.

Woodcrafting is necessary to make pieces for other crafting skills as
well, and is considered a foundational skill for most crafters. It differs
from the druidic rune carving and totemic skills by being purely physical
in nature - it uses no mana and relies entirely upon knowledge and skill
rather than any magical properties inherent in the wood.  However,
woodcrafted items can be enhanced by the application of runes.

When you finish crafting a wooden item, you will see a message like
this:

  After a final sanding and examination, a cedar bowl is complete.
