Lathe for Sticks

[aliarcy 6]

In ancient Greece and Rome people did not use twigs to make tools instead they used a machine called a lathe to shape wood into sticks. This also covers the fact that having to go de-leaf a forest is annoying. Lathes before the Industrial Age were made of wood,sticks, and string.

You're not using twigs, you're using the good sticks and heavier branches from the trees. That's why you don't get a dozen for every leave block you break.

If not for tool handles, this could be used for arrow shafts. Those definitely need to be nice and straight. A wooden knapping system would be of more use, in the form of woodcarving and whittling for straight tool handles and curved scythe handles. Maybe whittling wooden fish hooks and whistles for wolves. Proper bows and sword hilts would be amazing. Woodcarving could have so many other uses... Maybe it needs a separate post, but I'm feeling lazy...

The sticks you get from trees are not entire branches, most tools use 1 ingot so how would you fit an entire branch into that small of a space.

You guys know that is is a long, ongoing debate, right? There's so much wiggle room in the definition 'stick.' A proper handle carved from a log would solve the dilemma, but for now it is how it is. I sure the devs are going to reach a conclusion eventually.
