Not much of a suggestion, but maybe Doria Davis (NPC) could sell leather wraps and straps, as this is tied to her services in the workshop.

Unable to speak to "lost student" at end of quest.
Tried using manual speak option - nothing.
Tried to initiate attack - nothing.
Logged out and in, and she no longer appears. Unable to complete the quest.
On latest version (dunno how to find the version number) - July 19.

In process of catching, filleting and selling fish bits, but tried the bucket of bait again, and still seems buggy.

Do you want me to test the selling of fish or to wait?

The bucket of shrimp seems to work.

Purchased bucket of bait from Becky Blisterfoot.
Opened bucket and found the following error:

@Strife-and-Discord

Sorry for the late testing of the new version.

It looks like whole fish are now sellable, but once they are gutted, the broken down parts are still considered stolen.

Previous post states that this may be purposeful, but I tried with different fish and all portions recognized as stolen.

Also, please let me know if this should have been a new report or if you need additional information or screenshots, and I'll get 'em.

Issue Description: Attempt to craft mahogany bow shaft but recipe calls for oak planks.

Sorry, turf this one.
Looks good - I read the description wrong (hickory and oak boxes have different wording, but mean the same).

It may only be the wording on the description. The weight savings may be correct in game

Crafted four oak boxes with iron hinges.

Looks like weight savings is set at 80% rather than 20% found in forums.
Also, forums show need for leather strap, but none needed in game.

I can trash or donate if needed.
