Mathias is a craftsman, proud of his trade.
The wood he collects is responsibly cut, grown, and farmed -
his passion has always been the forest and so he aptly treats it proper.
In this time of the online store, of niche crafts and homemade goods,
the kalon has invested in his friend's company: professional brewers
Though, instead of beer or rum, they make delicious blends of
Rootbeer and Sarsaparilla, spiced pop for all ages.
Mathias has learned to collect, dry, and stretch wood.
Cutting thin sturdy planks, laying them together, binding them
with hardened steel strips, bending them over the relentless flames -
the making of wooden barrels is an age-old skill, a difficult one, and
yet this kalon finds such reward in it, in the flavor the smoke adds,
the time required of their creation, and all its finesse.
What began as a hobby, a joke among friends -
He'd mentioned he was dabbling in woodcraft and carving -
Became a lifelong passion robbing him of sleep.
The first barrel was a disaster, as was the next, and so
A series of failures, of leaking containers, was his legacy
But all things require time, and his deft paws works tirelessly
Till he mastered the curvature of the wood and bent it,
Oh so effortlessly, to his very will.
