The main goal of Woodworking Crafting in The Elder Scrolls Online is to craft staves, bows and shields. For that you need Woodworking specific materials that you can farm in the open world.
What does a Woodworker do?
A Woodworker collects quality wood that can be used to craft elegant Bows, Staves and Shields. Woodworkers use these materials at Woodworking Stations. One of the many mills found in the cities and towns throughout Tamriel. Here they can refine raw resources, improve existing items, research various traits and deconstruct Bows, Staves and Shields they have found throuhout their journey.
Skilled Woodworkers are always seeking to learn new techniques to better their skills at the mill. Finding special crafting books is the key to learning new racial styles, while researching traits allows for the creation of higher quality Bows, Staves and Shields.

Research Process
To be able to craft Bows, Staves or Shields with certain traits, you need to research them first! The first few traits that you research won't take long. However, the further down the list you go, the longer it will take. As a new player it is especially important to research traits all the time.
Trait Research Time:
Crafting a furnishing functions the same as when you craft an item. You need to make sure to have the right materials, if that is the case you can craft the furnishing. In this example here we crafted a Nord Trunk, Faded. Once we crafted the item we can then place it in our home.
