Having a keen eye for woodworking, you can tell that the bamboo from that tree over there will make an excellent box. Boxes made from bamboo trees are very sturdy and fashionable. You have an eye for fashion as well, you see.

Hints

At some point in school, you most likely had some sort of woodshop class to take. Remember back to those times and imagine yourself crafting a bamboo box out of a bamboo tree you felled yourself. Don’t forget to wear eye protection though! Wouldn’t want anything to happen to those valuable eyes of yours.
