content: Edited film: shows a wood carver in Chad crafting a small stool to be used by a woman. He fells a tree, shapes the seat with an adze, then carves the rest of the piece. The stool is decorated by using heated irons; ground peanuts are rubbed on the wood, which is then smoothed with a stone.
