"Fo' hundo. I am not a holy person, I don't share many of your beliefs, but I have walked Exandria for centuries. I remember Zan Tal'dorei. I remember Errevon the Rimelord. I have seen the horrors that befall this land and how people are strong enough to rise up and rebuild. But what Ludinus is entertaining is unleashing a horror that predates any of that, any of us. And there's no telling where it will stop. The Pantheon, perhaps. But it could absolutely wipe the slate clean, and I will not let that stand as long as I draw tiny, sexy breath. So, you ask what I give? Craftmanship of which you can hardly imagine, but a wisdom that I think would rival any in this room and an unrelenting courage. I fear no man or creature. And I turn into a wolf. "

Once upon a time, there was the kid of a couple of chairmakers who identified as neither boy or girl. Their parents respected their choices and loved them very much. But the town they lived in didn't like that idea very much! So they decided to burn the parents on the stake and attempted to indoctrinate them into the very beliefs that led to the burning of their parents. But the kid ran away and became a vampire, rejecting their humanity as a huge middle finger to their old holy light worshipping town.

Now Toots uses their chair handling and building skills for combat-driven entertainement as a wrestler in undead-friendly towns. It was through this career path that they met Fangogh who they fell in love with on first sight. They became both romantic and career partners and they lived happily ever after. And those who wished to stop that happiness would get a wooden chair broken on their skull. The end!

Constructing furniture out of bone has been a practice since the dawn of time, and while it might not be as common as it once was, the material still offers certain advantages for chairmakers. Bone is strong, lightweight, and can be carved into intricate designs. Moreover, it can be customized to fit in with various decor styles, and its elegant surfaces inspire a sense of luxury.

So why is bone a good material for chairmaking? Its unique strength-to-weight ratio means that it is stiff and supportive, yet still light enough to allow easy movement. This makes it a great material for seat backs and arms, as it won’t weigh down the chair’s occupant. It also has a natural appearance that looks both timeless and expensive, allowing it to fit in with any type of decor.

Moreover, bone can be carved into fine details and patterns, which can be used to create custom designs. Carved bone elements can be added to a chair to add an impressive degree of artistry and detail. It’s also relatively inexpensive, even when compared to other high-end materials, such as leather or velvet.

Finally, bone does not degrade with age, making it a wise investment for chairmakers. As a result, it is an ideal material for chairpersons who wish to make timeless and luxurious pieces that will last for generations.

If you're into videos of old people talking about their lives while they craft stuff, this will be right up your alley.

Communities no longer need chairmakers. Chairs are available with the push of a button, delivered to your doorstep. Factories make elaborate chairs, using the help of computer design and computer-assisted machinery, with less effort than an individual chairmaker requires. Chairmaking swims against that tide. The attributes of chairmaking, the inspired creativity, the craftperson’s life, the physical work, being close to the material, residing within a place and a tradition, the opportunity for artistic expression, the ability to start making with low overhead and a few tools, the opportunity to work from home, and the possibilities of working alongside family (to name but a few) are all relevant and enticing. In this way chairmaking is not anachronistic but the pursuit of something different. It is a considered and deliberate way of life. A life lived intentionally.
