Shaft

''A one step long wooden shaft that could be used to create a tool or a weapon. It is made from [wood type]].''

A shaft is a basic construction material used in many items and fences. It is often used in the initial item creation step along with a Plank. Shafts are also often used as a weapon for training Fighting skill on a Practice doll.

Another recipe for a Shaft is to use a Crude knife on a foraged Branch.

Weapon
Shafts are very low damage weapons. They are a two handed weapon.

This is often used on a Practice doll to train fighting skill because it does very little damage to the doll. People training fighting in this way generally want to minimize the amount of time one needs to spend improving and repairing the doll.
