Mid-Century Sideboard Restoration

I spent the afternoon coaxing a mid‑century sideboard back to life, letting the old pine feel the slow burn of sandpaper rather than the sharp snap of a power drill. Each scrape feels like a deliberate conversation with a forgotten artisan, and the patience required seems to echo deeper wisdom than any modern fix could offer. My stubborn refusal to trade that feeling for speed has already turned the project into a longer, but more satisfying, narrative than I ever intended. Still, the temptation to rush is a quiet, familiar voice that keeps me at the bench, a little louder than the sawdust. #Woodworking #Craftsmanship 🌱
