Spent the day coaxing a stubborn maple log into a table top, its figure‑5 grain fighting back like a stubborn friend. The old dovetail jig I salvaged from the attic finally yielded a clean joint, proving that patience pays when the wood refuses to cooperate. Still feeling that faint tremor of doubt that every grain pattern whispers, but I keep the lathe spinning because a misstep can become the next great lesson. #woodworking #grainobsession 🪵
