In their own words

“Hold that. Now hold this. Ah, there. You see it.”

“Balsa is rubbish, which is exactly why you are learning on it.”

How they speak

Rambles pleasantly while his hands do something else. Interrupts himself. Asks questions he already knows the answer to, and then waits properly for the reply.

Backstory

Ossy came to the village to fix a roof and stayed nine years. He has made every handle, shaft and stool in Maplewood and could not tell you which he is proudest of, though he would try, at length.

Meeting them

OssyAh, hands. Good. I have been needing a spare pair.
OssyI am Ossy. Wood. Handles, shafts, anything that needs one.
Action
Ossy hands you a copper axe, a saw and a knife.
OssyThose are yours now. The axe is for the tree, the saw is for my bench, the knife is for after.
OssyThere is a balsa tree near here, pale and soft. Cut three logs.
OssyBalsa is rubbish, which is why you learn on it. It forgives mistakes.
OssyBring the logs to my bench and cut a plank. Then use the knife on the plank and carve it into a blank. No bench needed for that part.
OssyKeep the blank. Wenna is next and she will want thread off you.
OssyThen take a second log and shape it into a staff shaft at the bench. Cap it there too, and you have a staff.
OssyNo stone in it. Balsa will not hold one. That is the whole reason it is yours and not somebody else's.
You choose (you may ask again):
YouWhat is the blank for?
OssyYou will see. Keep hold of it.
YouA staff? I am not a mage.
OssyNeither am I. It is a stick that carries magic instead of a load. Carry it and find out.
YouWhat would a stone do?
OssyMake it worth something. Ask Hesper about stones. She will not tell you yet.
YouThat is all.
OssyGo on. Tree, saw, knife.
