Carpentry In the Elven Forest

Welcome to the new Funtasy genre of Saw & Sorcery!

In a town full of carpenters, how does an apprentice carve his own path? Buckle down, learn his craft, and hope someone recognises his talent – or look for something more?

Jef could never have guessed that one night’s drinking and a little magical tampering would begin a journey of life-changing proportions!

Tricked into a quest to create a magical jewellery box for a fiancée he isn’t entirely sure he wants to marry, Jef finds himself mixing with demi-gods, a talking badger, and a down-trodden half-elf questioning where she belongs in the world.

If you are waiting for inspiration to strike, or for your life to change, heed this cautionary tale!
