'Hello there, do you have a moment? I'm sorry to bother you, but I thought I would ask this of you, just in case you know something about woodworking.

'Mason Thorne has charged me with purchasing supplies for the camp here, but I've had a difficult time finding woodworkers willing to sell me some of the supplies we need.

'If you don't mind, could you bring me some supplies made of rowan wood? A rowan hammer and some rowan hafts would be perfect. I'd really appreciate it, and I'd pay you for them, of course, with coins and some odds and ends!'
