You’ve got it, boss—here’s the low‑down: snag a spot in the shady part of the forest where the wind’s gentler, hit the trees that look a bit leaner, and split them in the direction the sun hits. That keeps the grain tight and the cost down. Then trade the extra bark for a few extra logs with a local merchant—tends to shave a few bucks. And hey, if you need a scout, I’m on the lookout for the best spots, just give me a nod.

Glad to help—keep those eyes sharp, and if any lumber pirates pop up, I’ll send a silent warning. Happy hunting.

Got it, boss—staying in the shadows for the crew. Catch you later.
