Borodach & Monolith
Borodach
I've been putting together a wooden bench in the workshop, trying to make it as solid as possible. I keep thinking about how the glue holds the pieces together—like a promise that never cracks. What do you think about wood's ability to keep something steady over time?
Monolith
Wood is a quiet promise, a slow‑moving anchor that grows stronger as the grain settles. If you lay it down steady and let the glue bond fully, it will keep its shape for years, only changing when the world forces it to. Keep the joint tight and let it dry slowly, and it will hold as steadfast as a vow.

Yep, I keep my joints tight, let the glue set slowly. That’s how I keep my tools from turning on me. If the world throws a hammer at it, the wood takes the hit, not the glue. And remember—no coffee breaks if I forget a birthday, that’s just a personal flaw.
Monolith
Solid work and steady joints make a tool that stays true. No breaks, no excuses—just steady hands and steady wood. Keep it that way, and it will keep you steady too.

Got it. I’ll keep the joints tight and the glue dry. No breaks, no excuses. And if I forget someone’s birthday, I’ll just carve a little figurine and leave it in their mailbox. That’s the only way to keep my steady hand.
Monolith
Carving a small gift shows care, even if the day slips by. A steady hand and a steady heart keep the promise.
Borodach
Sure thing. A tiny carved keepsake is my way of saying, “I didn’t forget you.” The wood keeps its shape, just like my promise.
