There is a whittling in BAC
It was meant as an alternative activity. My character Calle has used whittling to carve figures that I note in his log as existing. Little statues of animals and peoples from his life that he talks to in his lonely days of isolation...
It also another economic things as villages will only buy so much of a good. Like boards... we have enough boards. Taht was an exploit in earlier version. So instead make them something whittled for a while. I see it as making different goods to satisfy different needs cause yeah.... they have enough boards.
