The Carved Bucket is a wooden bucket cut from a log. It holds ten litres of fluid, the same as a metal Bucket.
It suits a survivor who lives off the land and has some skill at Carving. The bucket needs only wood and a sharp knife to make, so it is easy to replace. Its cost is weight, since it is twice as heavy as the metal kind.
Most carved buckets are made by hand. A few turn up in the kitchens of the Wild West themed buildings.
Using
The bucket carries water from a river or well and holds it at a base. A bucket holding at least a small amount of drinkable water lets a survivor drink from it automatically.
It fills the same role as the metal Bucket in building work. Each mix takes a full ten litres of water. Plaster needs Quicklime or a Bag of Plaster Powder. Concrete needs a Bag of Concrete Powder. Clay Cement needs Clay with a Sack of Sand, or Clay with Grass Cutting or Hay. Wallpaper Paste needs a Bag of Wallpaper Paste Powder. The result is a carved bucket of that mix. It also serves as the tub for the Dye Clothes recipe and is kept afterwards.
Making one uses the Carve Bucket recipe. It takes a Log and a Medium Handle, a Tree Branch or a Wooden Rod. A sharp knife does the cutting and is kept. The carver needs Carving level 4.
The metal Bucket weighs half as much and gives scrap metal when melted. The carved bucket burns as fire fuel once it is no longer needed.

Locations
The kitchens of the Wild West themed buildings are the only reliable spot. Counters, overhead cupboards and shelves there hold one about one time in seven. Pawn shop display cases turn one up rarely. Attics, closets, living rooms and survivor safehouses hold one only very rarely. Carving one from a Log is far more dependable than searching.
