Carpentry.. No gain?

[Boondock_Saint]

Used almost 1500 logs.. payed it up to 32.7.. hasn't raised at all.

[Dagon]

Make small red boxes and medium crates for a bit until you reach about 48.0 shown.
Then start making Ballot box deeds until about 55, followed by wooden shields until 68.
Then get 40 tailoring and start making fishing poles until 74.
Then make Quarterstaves until 80.0
and finally Gnarled staves all the way to GM (this is the longest part)
When you get to the last 2.0 or so, make a few armoires every now and then to keep things random, but not too many, they waste alot of wood.
