Let us run down the list.A hatchet handle is a pretty simple piece of work for a basic hatchet, and a Blacksmith probably has some ranks in Carpentry just due to... accidents that can occur when you bring molten metal into contact with wood <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.Bowyer/Fletcher used to be the 2e NWP for such things... Honestly I think a bowyer who cannot make arrows is just silly.  Its akin to a Doctor who cannot lance a boil... Yes, technically it is a 'surgery', but they're on it! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.Arrowheads, if not available, may be replaced by fire-hardened points.  They may be of poorer quality (-1 damage) but should come at 3/4 their normal price.A weaponsmith who cannot make a Club or Quarterstaff is horrid.  Most smiths are going to train their apprentices to do the busy work, which includes our handles that we were discussing.  Whittling was a common pasttime among craftsmen for simple boredom and the ability to 'mock up' a new device, practice on a material that was cheaper to replace than a masterful forged blade that is being fancified <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Also, Clubs are pretty much the simplest thing to make.  Find wood, whittle, hit people.  <img src="http://www.swordsandarmor.com/images/MACE-Spiked.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Look at this spiked club/mace.  Now ignore the spikes.  Notice how it is essentially a whittled-down, debarked branch?Yes.  That easy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Slainte,-Loonook.</blockquote>
