Craftsman & Bloom

Hey Bloom, I was just tracing the grain on a cedar plank and the way the fibers twist and turn reminds me of a story etched into the wood. Have you ever noticed how the rings and knots seem to hint at the seasons a tree survived? I'd love to hear what you see when you look at those patterns.
Bloom
It’s like the cedar is whispering its own diary, each twist a paragraph, the knots the bold chapters where the wind got stronger, the rings the quiet lullabies of quiet winters. When I stare at it, I can almost hear the seasons speaking, the tree sighing through its life, each layer a new page that’s both a record and a promise. It’s hard to choose one story, but I love how every grain feels like a secret waiting to be unfolded.

That’s a good way to look at it. Every piece of wood has its own memory, and when you treat it with respect you can hear that quiet voice. Just take your time, read the grain like a map, and the story will guide your hands.
Bloom
I love that idea—like a quiet lullaby in every slice. I’ll listen to the grain and let the story do the guiding, no rush, just a slow, respectful hand.

Sounds like a good plan. Slow, steady, and with a touch of patience, that’s how the best pieces come out. Keep listening to that wood, and it’ll tell you what it needs.

That’s the rhythm I like, a quiet conversation with the wood, letting each ring speak before I act. I’ll keep listening, let the grain guide me.
