Because after placing his bow on the ground, Chiron is going to stand on his hind legs and brace his front hooves on the tree trunk in question.
And this poor tree groans from all of that weight it must suddenly bear, but Chiron works quickly by reaching up and grabbing one of the thicker branches he had his eyes on, making sure his balance is surefooted before ripping it clean off like a toothpick.
With his prize procured, he'll twist and land back with his hooves on the ground, stomping a little to get his bearings]
Yona watches with wide eyes. He's already tall, but going up on his hind legs like that makes him even taller! He can reach that branch easily! And he can snap it off just as easily, too! That's so cool.]
[Ganba, kitchen knife. Next on the agenda is finding something to sharpen it with, probably.]
That's okay. It will be good to see how to carve something like this properly, and this way, if you need anything while you're working, I can run and get it for you.
[Having an assistant while he works is beneficial... and admittedly, reminds him of the times he'd send his students through the forests on small errands.
His smile ticks up]
Very well. I'll have you assist as necessary. Regardless, your bow will be finished in two days' at most.

Wow... that's amazing! You must be so strong.

[... Well, he's not technically lying. Though once he's back on his legs, he'll glance between Yona and the branch in his hand]
Yes, this height should do nicely...
[He just hopes the poor kitchen knife can keep up with him.]
I will show you how to make a bow from this, though keep in mind much of it will be me carving. [So... not particularly interesting to watch]
