Jim plopped the trunk down next to a nearby shop not too far from the center of Woodport and went to work separating it into smaller chunks, one swing at a time, bracing the log with his own weight.
Once the trunk was a fair few logs and the leafy top Jim plopped his pack down in front of him, whipped a few knives of varying sizes out, some of which looked like toys in his hands, and started whittling away. Stripping the bark off before digging into the wood behind it, moving his large hands with more precision than one would think possible of such a large man, his face a happy smile.
He worked fast, setting each finished figurine down next to him on it's little wooden base. The first one depicting a couple holding hands, the second a slumbering beast, the third showing a Floran poised to strike, the fourth still taking shape in his hands.
