By Thor's beard, what a day. Spent half the morning chasing trees across the countryside. Five of the stubborn things were unreachable! Had to trek nearly to the coast before I finally found one that would stand and fight. Even then, the first good tree I got my axe into was already picked clean. Felt like the forest itself was mocking me.
But a true Northman doesn't quit. Finally brought down a proper oak and hauled the logs back. Turned the timber into two fine wooden boxes. The crafting went smooth, at least. Sometimes the simplest tasks are the hardest won. Back to the forge tomorrow. Skål!
