That makes sense... it can be a bit hard to keep it steady sometimes, but I'm not certain if that's my inexperience or because I'm working with improper tools. Perhaps both.
[It's probably both.]
The Storyteller is usually happy to trade that sort of thing for a story or two, if you want to tell some the next time there's the opportunity.

[ He picks up the bowl she made.]
See, you've got to bring out the stuff from the wood. And you're almost there. It's a pretty simple shape, but to make it perfect you need a lot of patience and time.
And something to sand it down with would help. Which, huh, maybe we should ask the Storyteller dude for.

[ He scratches at his beard, frowning in thought.]
Probably some coarse beach stones? But those are gonna rip the wood right apart, and--
You know, maybe we could start more simple. Sanding stuff down is more of aesthetic purposes, but a nice hand-carved, natural bowl's got its charm.

[Muffet nods, picking up one of the pieces of coconut shell she brought with her.]
Is there anything in particular you'd recommend while working with these, as opposed to other kinds of wood? Given how many of them we have around the place, it seems important not to let them go to waste.
no subject
[ He keeps rubbing at his chin, humming in thought.]
I mean, there's a lot of stuff around here. And the type of wood depends on what you want to make. You need something to proof the wood if you're using it for food and drink and stuff, or it's all gonna rot real fast. You don't want that.
[ Seems like Muffet's really got his focus with this, as he's clearly making plans and lists in his head.
Man, he really, really wishes he still had his pocket workshop. Not to mention he could work on much more complicated stuff than just dishes and bowls and whatever. This place needs a proper woodworking business or workshop for all!]
no subject
[Food and drink is definitely relevant, given how much cooking and baking she does.]
no subject
[ He scratches at the back of his head. At this rate, he might as well make a grocery list to hand out to the Storyteller. ]
Well, this is annoying as hell.
no subject
I'm regrettably familiar with the feeling.
no subject
It's a pain in the ass. I have a perfectly good pocket workshop back home but didn't bring it with me.
[ He needs to learn to contextualize the goddamn things he says. ]
no subject
Do you mean a collection of tools that can be carried in your pockets, or are you referring to something a bit more like a dimensional box? At home, we have technology that allows us to store things away without needing to carry them around, but I don't think anyone's ever managed to fit an entire room in there.
no subject
[ Magic, yo. Interplanar...interdimensional? Pocket dimension magic?? He doesn't know the details, okay, he's not a magic user.]
Just a whole dang workshop, right in my pocket. But I left it in my other pants.

[ He has no idea where he could find Garfield nowadays, and, honestly, he's not sure he'd want to anyway.]
But hey, we can still go through the basics, and just try and get more stuff to work with when the Storyteller pops in.
