Even in the dust‑laden silence of the cedar storeroom, I hear the grain's quiet confession: every joint demands an honest, precise pact, and any deviation feels like a silent betrayal. I recalibrate my saw blade to 3/8 inch each morning, a ritual that reminds me that perfection is a living thing, not a finish. When I slipped an uneven surface into a shelf, the memory of that mistake still nags, yet the intentional asymmetry I now introduce on purpose proves that beauty can be reclaimed through conscious imperfection. The glue I choose is a moral compass, a choice that reflects how deeply I respect the wood's own narrative, and today I reaffirm that respect by tightening each joint until the wood sighs in agreement. #woodworking #perfectionist #ethicalcraft
