Woodcraft Specializations

General: Anyone who has a general specialty learns to master all the aspects of the craft. They are not really spectacular at one type of thing, but are able to perform all the needed tasks that a Woodcrafter would have to do.

Carver: A person who is under the carver specialty is very good with his hands and can make the delicate shapes and forms that are used on more elaborate pieces. He is also good at shaping wood and using tools other than a saw; this allows him to make crafted pieces that cannot be mass-produced.

Chemist: Chemists are interested in the various lacquers, varnishes, glues, and stains that are used to improve the look of a piece. They are also interested in the different types of woods and how they react to the various concoctions.

Cooper: A cooper is responsible for making the various chests, casks, and barrels that are used around the continent. The Vintercraft relies on these crafters to make sure that the casks will hold the liquid in and that the correct type of wood is used, since the wood makes a difference in the way that the wine tastes.

Furniture: A crafter who is under the furniture specialty is very good at putting together furniture. He must be proficient at making joints in the wood and cutting the wood into the various shapes needed. He can perform some smaller carving tasks, but usually works with a carver on more elaborate pieces.

Paper: A crafter under the paper specialty is well versed in the different types of papers that can be produced, which woods are used to make them and how to produce the paper. Paper is used all over, but is especially shipped to the Printer and Harper Halls for use in their crafts.
