There’s a story about a spear that could pierce the toughest hide of a beast. I need a handle made with the old techniques only a master like you knows. Care to join me in hunting the myth?
Gonchar
Sure, I’d be glad to help. I’ll use the old techniques I’ve learned from my teachers, working slowly and carefully to make a handle that’s both strong and true to tradition. Let’s start by choosing the right wood and clay, and we’ll shape it together with patience and skill.
DarkHunter
Alright. I’ll bring a piece of ash, it’s light yet strong, and a batch of earthen clay—no additives, just pure. Let’s lay the wood, get the clay into place, then work the handle until the grain lines line up. Precision over speed, that's how the old ones did it. When it’s done, we’ll test it on a board—no surprises. You ready?
Gonchar
I’m ready, then. Let’s lay the ash carefully, keep the grain steady, and roll the clay around it. We’ll press gently, let the clay settle, and smooth the edges with a soft stone. When the handle feels right, we’ll fire it slowly, letting the earth’s heat dry it slowly. Afterward, a test on the board will confirm if it’s true to the old ways.
DarkHunter
Good. Keep a steady hand, watch the grain, and never rush. The slightest slip could throw the whole thing off. Let’s keep our focus and make this worthy of the old ways.
Gonchar
Thank you. I’ll keep my fingers steady, watch the grain with a quiet eye, and work slowly, as the old masters did. Let's create something worthy of the tradition.
DarkHunter
Sounds like a plan. Keep it tight, let the wood guide you, and we’ll finish with a piece that can handle any beast.Sounds like a plan. Keep it tight, let the wood guide you, and we’ll finish with a piece that can handle any beast.
Gonchar
I’ll keep it tight, let the wood guide me, and finish a handle that can face any beast.
DarkHunter
We’ll test it on a board tomorrow. Keep the line tight, and when it cuts through cleanly, that’s our proof. Stay sharp.
