The Royal Artificery Society - OOC II: electric boogaloo

[DeTess]

34*20=680sp worth of woodwork in a week, or 97sp 1cp in a day's work. ~9GP is clobbers the base cost of 5GP for the normal quality instrument, though I'll naturally yield to suggestions that it takes more time because of enchanting considerations etc. But under normal conditions he should crank it out the following day and deliver it to Shandara that evening. Then he's free to start doing some small experimentation on the Tundra Oak and Bogwood. If there's anything he can do to increase his odds of successfully completing the product, sort of practical research on the materials in his workshop, he'd be keen to do some of that.

Yeah, you can have it ready on the next day.

Regarding experiments you could do, for the bog wood the main concern is its acoustic properties. It is very soft and porous, almost spongy, s you could make a simpler instrument to experiment with that (maybe a basic flute). For the Tundra Oak the acoustic properties are also a bit off a concern, but the main trouble will be working it in a precise way due to how hard it is. You could just practice a little in that regard, or look into the specific methods used to shape it to see if there is anything you could learn from that.
