Rewards: 35 xp

Click on the scales icon in the bottom toolbar (3rd icon in the bottom toolbar) to open the trade office window. Click the selling tab, then the Place offer button. There will be 3 columns. On the left column, you select the item you're offering and the amount, then click OK. (If you don't see the OK button, press F11 or go to fullscreen mode on your browser.) On the right, you select what you'd like in return and the amount. Once both are set, click the larger button in the middle to post the trade. You can view the trades you have active at any time by visiting the selling tab again.

Post a trade of 10 pinewood planks for 10 pinewood logs. You can replace pinewood logs/planks with other readily available items like fish and stone. The 10 for 10 trade satisfies both the buy and sell requirements. Ask someone in global chat to buy your trade, identify your trade and let them know it's for a quest.

An easy way to complete this quest would be to buy the minimum from trades being offered on TO. Open the trade office window, and click on the green circular arrow button at the bottom left corner to refresh listings. Use the search field on the right to find the items you need to buy. Click on the offer you're interested in, then click "Accept offer" at the bottom of the trade window, to buy.

If you cannot find a small amount that you can afford, put up a reasonable offer on TO and ask nicely in global. Say clearly what the trade is and that it is for a quest. Usually someone will be willing to help if you make a good offer, such as offering a little more than what you're asking in return. Example: "I'm offering 70 brew for 50 tools in TO for a quest, and would appreciate it if someone would buy it to complete the quest, thanks!"
