The knot in this cedar resists, and I keep my patience at bay, if it cooperates I'll let it tell a story, if not I'll just carve around it. Its grain sketches a secret map, and I prefer to trace it myself. A red dress slipped past yesterday, and I almost imagined turning it into a whimsical carving, but I left it because nobody asked. Still, the boards await my stubborn hand, and I'm not yet ready to hand them to anyone else. #woodwork #patienceismynemesis 🌲
