The Wood Mask is a carved wooden face mask worn over the eyes and face. It guards the head well against zombie scratches and stops about half of the bites. It also blocks some wind on the face.
Its main cost is sight, since it cuts the wearer's vision in half. It also wears out fast, so it is a short lived piece of armour. It is a little uncomfortable to wear.
The mask can be carved with the Carve Wooden Mask recipe. A few also turn up in anthropology classroom display cases and in survivor safehouses. Researching the mask teaches the recipes for the whole set of wooden limb armour. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The mask stops most scratches and about half of the bites aimed at the head. It also adds a little warmth and blocks about half of the wind on the face.
The cost is heavy. Vision is cut in half while the mask is on, so zombies are spotted later. It is a little uncomfortable as well. The mask only lasts a few hits, and each hit has a one in three chance to wear it down.
The Hockey Mask sits in the same slot with the same vision cost. The Wood Mask stops more bites and scratches, but the Hockey Mask lasts a few more hits. The Bone Mask stops the same share of bites and slightly fewer scratches, and it keeps out all rain.
The mask uses the eye mask slot. It clashes with glasses and eye patches, breathing masks and the breathing apparatus, other masks, full head gear and full suits with a hood.
Tailoring
Using the Research Craft option on the mask teaches five recipes. These are Carve Wooden Mask and the four wooden limb pieces: Make Wooden Forearm Armor, Make Wooden Shin Armor, Make Wooden Thigh Armor and Make Wooden Shoulder Armor.
Carve Wooden Mask needs Carving 4. It uses one Plank and two Leather Strips. A sharp knife, a saw and a drill are needed as tools and are kept.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Wood Mask and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
The Wood Mask is a rare find. Anthropology classroom display cases hold one about one time in six. University storage turns one up only rarely. Dressers, wardrobes and boxes in survivor safehouses hold one now and then in the middle and late game. Carving one with the Carve Wooden Mask recipe is the surer way to get it.

Notes
- Researching the mask teaches the whole wooden limb armour set at once.
- Half vision is a heavy price, so the mask suits planned fights more than scouting.
- The mask wears out fast, so carry a Plank and Leather Strips to carve a spare.
- It guards the head better than a Hockey Mask but breaks sooner.
