Carpentry


My work today - completion of a class workbook - does not involve real carpentry but I've come to regard it as similar to that admirable trade. The table now needs to be assembled, sanded, stained, and polished. I carefully take each stage and avoid jumping ahead or unduly rushing through any point. Pleasure can be found in the details and each part will be examined to see if there is anything which causes the slightest discomfort. [I saw a word last night which needs to be changed. It is close but not quite right.]

Breaks are taken for perspective and the equivalent of sweeping the floor.
