When Chali was quite through and ready for another day. He wandered out through the musty exit and down the lane.

About an hour or so later he returned, supporting a masive brown bag in his forearms, he propmtly took his load to the sanctitiy of his room.

Once safely inside, he took out a short silver knife and a knotted peice of wood, and began to whittle. Chali Whittled and whittled on that wood, until clearly visable was the form of a hobbit's head, and them the shape of a body was carved out and perfected.

He then went over his hobbit fixing the length of his nose and shortening his pipe handle. Until finally his creation was complete a 1/8 scale hobbit, as promised for the farmer's wood.

The finished hobbit set gently aside, he began to make carvings of other guests and people he had seen on the road this morning.
Hobbits, men, a few elf women, and some birds made it into his portrayals, all part of the massive place he called his world.

As he whittled his mind wandered back to days gone by when he was with the dwarves and when he and the stronger ones would spare off. Of sitting in the caves listening to the tales of former glory, of many great battles where Dwarven renown was won.
