Writing ideas come from everywhere, all the time, in many ways and forms, but working with wood is major for me. In this tab I’ll share both my amateur woodworks and musing thoughts that came with them.
Your art teacher never encouraged you? You tutor frowned at your oboe toots when she didn’t think you’d see? Fk that. If you ever get the urge to grab a paintbrush or a wad of clay or just feel like carving something, try it. Do it. Drown yourself in it. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find a joy like I have in cedar and redwood, ipe and black walnut.
